I have a Euro-Pro special Edition. It is 14 years old works like the day I bought it. If I bought cheap, I would have gone thru at least 5 in that length of time. It was a fantastic buy at $110.00. The 6200 is $98.00 and it is well worth it.

I loved my rowenta before it got bugs I now use my old black and Decker which I love (loves both though my rowenta was the $60 on with retractable cord)
|
I have a Sunbeam that I got 12-15 years ago at either Odd Lots or Target or Kmart. It was probably $15 or less, I doubt that I would have paid more than 20, and if it was from Odd Lots (now Big Lots) it may have been less than 15.
The steam work great, heats up fast. |
Go to Big Lots, if you have one local. I picked up my Rowenta there for cheap. And it's fabulous!

I never put water in my irons. If I want steam I have spritzy bottle to mist a bit of water then iron. I have never had any luck with any iron when it comes to the steam feature. They all leak eventually and some sooner then others so I just quit putting water in them. Seemed to extend the life of my irons after that. My Walmart special just bit the dust this weekend (was probably about 5 to 7 years old) but I knew it was at deaths door because it wasn't getting hot like it used to. I went to Big Lots and got a refurbished Rowenta for $30. So far so good but I have barely used it. The only complaint I have is that even with auto off it really isn't off, just down to warm. I have to unplug it. I took a closer look at the dial and sure enough there is no "Off". Never noticed that in the store.

I've had 3 Rownetas and two Olisa. They all had issues and none of them lasted long or the money I spent on them. I now have a Eurosteam which I paid about $200 for and it's worth every penny. My second choice would be the cheapest Black and Decker you can find, just make sure it has a lot of steam holes on the bottom.

I have a Shark Euro pro and I love it. It does good steam. It also has a large reservoir.

They've been returned for a reason! Secondly, I'd rather spend the $100 on fabric! Third, my $10 Walmart special is the best iron I've ever had. And at that price, if I have to replace it once a year even (due to calcium deposits from our water) so what? IMHO |
I love mu Rowenta and haven't had any trouble with it. It's about 7 or 8 years old.
