The same for me. I bought a Rowena a few years ago and it wasn't any better that the $35 irons. After a few months it quit getting as hot as it should, and from day 1 it dribbled water. Right now I'm using a Sunbeam and like it, except for that annoying auto shut off, but I figure it's saving me a little electricity and it heats back up really FAST when I need it. When it wears out, I won't feel bad about tossing it and getting a new one.
