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!!!

How long have you owned it:

More than six months
