My Rowenta iron just dumped all of the water on my ironing board.

The Rowenta travel irons aren’t any good, either. It was $45 and the first time I took it with me to a retreat, it died on the second day. There was a popping sound and then the Rowenta started smoking. I went home and tossed my home Rowenta into the trash. Now, I like my Oliso.

I use a Shark that I got at Walmart several years ago. I like the weight of it and it heats well. It has automatic shut off which some people don't like but it is ok with me. It heats up quickly if it turns off between blocks. It requires distilled water for steam and the spray feature. So far, so good.

I love my Rowenta iron. It's at least 15 years old, but I think even older. It gets really hot and it doesn't weigh a ton. However, I never put water in it or any iron. Just use a spray bottle when I need moisture.

This is the iron I will get next. This is a dry steam iron.https://reliablecorporation.com/coll...o-iron-station. Several of these to choose from on the website.

I have an inexpensive Sunbeam. I use regular water in it, and have had no spraying or leaking problems, and has several heat settings. I do admire the ones Jenny and Donna use in their videos. Those must cost a pretty penny though!!
