I wouldn't touch a Rowenta with a 39-and-a-half foot pole. I have too many friends who have had one and the stories are really scary. One of my friends was ironing when the cord started arcing in her hand, burning her.

Several members of the guild in town have had issues with their irons. When they call Rowenta, they are pretty much told "Too bad".

No thank you!

I love my Rowenta that I purchased before I started quilting. I do not use the steam function. Prefer a small mister instead.

I have a Rowenta that I have been using for at least 5 years. Works great, I bought it on sale, was not even looking to get this brand because the 2 that I had previously quit very shortly after buying. I have been looking for a replacement but can't seem to find one that gets hot enough. Will have to find a backup soon as the lifespan of this one has about timed out. I know a new Rowenta will not be as good as this one! I do use steam, sometimes a mister. I will be doing a lot of research.

I bought my iron at a thrift store for $2.00 and it works great. I just can't afford a Rowenta or Olisso.

Rowenta is the only brand iron I will buy. Long lasting, dependable, moderately priced. A little work horse in my opinion. I've owned two in 20 years; that's how good they are.

Rowenta? Never again. Had two of them, the first was a gift. Both had issues after less than a year of use. Would get really hot and had to pull the plug constantly. This became a safety issue. Have a Sunbeam I got on sale and have not had any problems. Also have an Oliso still in the box because the ironing board has way too much crap on it to use

I have had an old faithful Sunbeam for over 30 years; it's still working just like the day I bought it, including the steam function. If it ever wears out, I will hopefully be able to afford the Olisio 1600; it would be so wonderful just to not have to set the iron up on end every time I am working with it. Unfortunately, it seems like things aren't made to last these days, so I'll just keep using my Sunbeam as long as I can.

I have had several cheap irons over the years and will continue. Not a big deal when they quit working.

I love my Rowenta.

I would never purchase another Rowenta. It stated to spit right away so can't use the steam. The one at guild does the same thing. Have a Black and Decker for years and use it.
