I too loved my Rowenta, till the day it leaked water out the back and ruined two blouses. Went to get another at Joanns, but the darling sales associate made a mistake. She told me I could use my 1/2 price coupon on the Eliso. Needless to say I am learning to love it. Does not have the as many holes and is not as heavy, but for $70 less, it'll do. Agnes
