Scored a Rowenta at yard sale
#13
be careful of it though. many quilters complained of that brand catching fire. I had one for years and it was fine until one day it blew out my power cord. I tossed it and the cord into the trash.

I am on my second one and I love it! Mine does leak on "Steam" if I let it sit to long. I have learned to add water when I need it and empty it as soon as I am through. If I need to steam again in 30 min. I just add more water...no problem! My 1st one was broken by the movers or I would still be using it!

I have that exact same iron. I know it's been more than 5 years now. I do empty the water out of it when I am finished using it. I live in an area of hard water so I use a 50/50 mixture of distilled and tap water. Knock on wood, no leaks or spitting. I do use mine dry more than with steam because I use a lot of starch. I do suggest getting the Rowenta iron cleaning kit for the sole plate. Works better than any thing I have tried and I believe I have tried just about all of them.
