NOT WORTH IT!!!

Comment:
I have had two of these irons & neither iron lasted a year. I have bought much cheaper irons & they last years. Both of the Rowenta irons that I have owned acted the same way before it finally stopped working. It heats up & only stays hot long enought to iron a sleeve then it cools down immediatly & starts leaking water all of the garment causing stains. I thought Rowenta was a good name but now i know better. I will not buy another one of their products & will be sure to tell all my family & friends not to waste their money on their products. They simply are not worth it!!!

Comment:
The instruction booklet, does not give instruction...<br />just shows pictures which is ineffective.<br />Iron leaked water everytime I used it. I did not over fill it. Could not iron one piece of goods without it getting it wet.

Worked once. a few weeks later after the warranty expired used again and it would shut off and not restart. Finally had to buy a new one iron. Better use of money would be lottery tickets. Will never buy a Rowenta again

Steams better than most

love this iron for the price. I've had many irons and has paid much to four times as much as I paid for this one. For the price, this is the best. It outperformed 95% of the irons I've owned.

Clothes look like they have been ironed well. Ironing is not my favorite task, but this iron made the job easier.
Weakness
After about 2 weeks, the iron started leaking. A lot. Around the bottom and the area where the retractable plug is located.
I could not find a lot of information about the Rowenta irons. I read an article in a magazine and this iron was recommended. I did like the ease of use, but I definitely did not like the leaking part. I remember reading one article that mentioned how Rowenta irons leak, but I had to see for myself.
