I had an old Rowenta that I loved, and it lasted for years. Then I got two other Rowenta's that stopped working in less than a year. Then I tried a bunch of the cheaper brands and none of them really got hot enough..then I heard that Rowenta had gotten a lot of complaints about their irons and moved the production back to Germany from overseas (China? can't remember) Anyway, this most recent iron has lasted over two years and still gets hot. However, it did have one spitting episode so I just decided to not use water in it anymore and just use a spray bottle of water and best press when needed. The one I have now states "made in Germany" on it. The ones on the shelf in the local stores did not say that. So I ordered it online and it was one of the higher priced Rowenta's. Oh, true disclosure. As I always think I am going to sew each and every day, I never emptied that water out of my iron at the end of the day. The instructions do say to use tap water and empty it when done.
