R.I.P. Rowenta
#41
I had a Shark before my Rowenta. I miss the Shark and I loved that it came with a long cord. I'm not as impressed with the Rowenta. It seems to leak water all the time although it does have good steam.

I have had my Rowenta for 14 years now and use it regularly without any problems at all.
I use the steam a lot but also sometimes use it dry with a spray bottle.
I love the heaviness of the iron and how well it sets seams.....Would I buy another Rowenta?
You bet I would

I had leaking with my first Rowents and found that itcouldn't handle my hard water. Mixing my water half and half with distilled water made it work much better-no leaking. I buy new ones with coupons at Joanns. Love the steam.

My newer Rowenta is terrible - leaks horribly - just not the same quality as the Rowenta I had for 10 years. I, too, bought a Shark and love it!

I like the Shark and its weight but find it too annoying that it automatically shuts itself off too soon! If I'm piecing and want to do a bunch of pieces the iron turns off and you have to push the button repeatedly to get it up to the correct heat. I use a good old Proctor - Silex for under $10.00.

I have been using a cheap black and decker as long as I can remember, most likely longer than 20 years now. I guess with the features and benefits of the high-priced irons come more things that can go wrong. Good luck with your next one!

I"ve had my Rowenta for 17 years, and have NO problems, only if I over fill it does it spit a bit, my fault not the irons fault.
mine is made in Germany, as are my Pfaffs, and Gingher's and I really do love them!!!
