The first Rowenta that I bought, around 2 years ago, spits and leaks, but I purchased a second one (different MODEL) on clearance at JoAnns for around $15 dollars, and this one works like a dream! Must be certain models!

Spitting/leaking irons is the bane of my existence!!! No matter the iron, after 2 or 3 months they start spitting and soon leaking to the point where I couldn't put any water in them. Soooooo I made the decision to buy a cheap steam iron w/auto shut off and use it until it starts to leak then throw it away and go get another one. I'm talking cheap - $19.99 at WalMart.
BTW - the last iron that went in the trash was a Shark. I like the way it steamed. It just didn't last long.

My Rowenta Pro is 5 or 6 years old now and works fine. Love the powerful shot of steam for squaring up blocks, and the auto shutoff has me spoiled. I would need a while to get used to one that did not shut off.

Didn't have a chance to get to the library this afternoon because I was sitting in front of this computer! I went to a place: www.wize.com and put in: "steam irons for quilting". I am now TOTALLY confused!!
