Owned 2 Rowentas and they didn't last long so I bought a cheaper Black and Decker (heavy) 7 or 8 years ago and it's been good but it won't steam or heat up like it did anymore so I'm going to be looking too. I never gave it a thought, but I read someplace we should check the wattages because they are not all the same and this affects the temperature. I'll be looking and comparing since I want a hot one.
