I have had a Rowenta Professional iron for probably 10+ years that I LOVE! It recently has started making a "clicking" noise when I turn it on and doesn't heat up. I have to unplug it a time or two and then it works. Sooo...I know it will die one of these days....I bought a Shark Professional model marked down to $30.00 at Kohl's last week with my discount coupon. It heats up nice but isn't my Cadillac Rowenta iron.

I went through a lot of Rowenta's...all leaked. Mentioned I
was going to have to get 'some kind' of new iron. One of my
sons said, you can have mine I never iron. He brought me a
Norelco. I have been using it for years, using only tap water as the info with it said. I've dropped it a couple
times but it just still keeps going. Don't know if they even make them anymore.

I read the consumers guide, and it said the Black and Decker was as good or better than the Rowenta, so I bought it instead, and I like the weight and it gets hot enough to remove those blasted creases in the bolt fold. It isn't heavy, but has a nice feel to it. I like it better than my rowenta
