I use the same GE that I got as an engagement gift in 1972. Still works like a charm and steams up a storm.
"nuf said about the quality of the past. |
I'm with you. I'll never buy another one. I've had 3 and they all leaked.

I found myself too many times forgetting to turn it off. When leaving the house I always double check to make sure it is off just to be sure.

my iron came from walmart, cost $15....no problems, no leaking, very light......and when it dies, i will just go back and pay another $15 for another one.....$15 for 2 years worth of ironing quilt stuff is reasonable i think......gina

I have a Rowenta, the made in Germany one, and it has become picky about shutting itself off. Something about the feature that shuts it off if it's down flat for a certain amount of time--the red light comes on in the middle of ironing, and it just shuts off. The only fix is to unplug it, but that gets old, every ten minutes. DH is planning to get me another one at Costco. So thanks. I'll tell him not to. He got me a wonderful little German travel iron for Christmas which is just the right size for small squares.

i owned one for about a week and took it back it leaked all the time ! i went to walmart and bought a iron for less than 10.00 and love it , no leaks and no problems have had it for a little over 2 years

We own 3 Rowentas - two large and one small one. Ours have never leaked (unless we hit the steam button before its fully hot); they produce plenty of steam and get really hot. I realize others have had problems, but we like ours just fine.

the best thing i ever heard said about steam irons was from Ricky Tims, he never uses an iron with steam because he has never met one that wasn't incontinent!
