Comment:
I use this iron 2-3 times a week, for pressing and ironing using spray starch.What's so great about this iron, is that its heavy and does a great job when the water is not leaking out of it. Not so great, like I said it leaks This was not a gift, this is the 3rd Rowenta that I have owned, Each time I purchased one iron, I would upgrade to a better model. I've learned my lesson and I will not be buying a Rowenta Ion again.

Comment:
I iron my casual and business clothes once or twice a week. The Rowenta appears to be well designed. It is heavy and has an accurate steam control. I was surprised and disappointed when the iron leaked scalding water and gave me a 2nd degree burn on my knee! Then I read other users' reviews documenting the same thing. Tonight, the thing died altogether, after owning it less than 2 years. That works out to $60+ a year for an iron! I will never buy a Rowenta iron again. All steam irons may be crummy, but I would rather pay $30 for a crummy iron than [$] for the same poor service.Shame on you Rowenta!
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Great iron, it has been a time saver and what a difference from an old iron I have had for years. Went out first purchased a Kenmore iron since it was rated high, however after a few uses it shorted out and the insides burned! Returned it to [@] where after learning about Rowenta's reputation although I had never heard of it decided to give it a run and do not regret the decision to have spent the extra on it. I did however spend more than is listed here, I paid [$] however am happy with the performance and don't feel ripped off at all!!
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
