I recently bought the same iron, and I love it. I have had many Rowenta's that leaked from day one, so I will never buy an expensive iron again. I'm probably going to buy another T-Fal just to have on hand. It has 1735 watts so it gets very hot.
"I recently bought a T-Fal iron from Wal-mart (around $35)I think it may have been the model below this one -it is blue for my sewing group. Since it is up there I don't have the model #, but we have all been extremely happy with it."
