I got mine as a factory refurbished model on Amazon, so the price was around $80 I think. However I'm not sure that it's still available anywhere.

Like others, after my second Rowenta, I said never again! Although I'm not sure, it seems like those that love the Rowenta and have no problems with them have ones from many years ago. Perhaps like lots of other things, "they just don't make them like they used to."
I've had a TFal for years, it still works great and doesn't leak. I also have a small (but not travel model) iron from WM that I take to classes, I think it's a Hamilton Beach but am honestly not sure.

I have a GE from the 70's that is still working even after dropping on a cement floor a couple of times. Had an Oliso about 10 yrs ago that died in less than a year. Purchased a Panasonic 360 cordless at the AQS show in Grand Rapids last year & love it. It gets hot & I really enjoy that it is cordless. That is really handy.
