I love Rowenta irons when they work. Unfortunately, they all end up spitting and leaking water. I have had 4. My current iron is an inexpensive Hamilton Beach and I like it. I looked for an iron that had a lot of steam holes on the plate and had some weight to it (those are the things I really liked about the Rowenta). So far, it has worked great and will be much less expensive to replace if it does start spitting or leaking.
