    The spitting is sometimes the result of not using the correct water in it. Be sure to read the instructions.

    Dunster: I've had and been using the Reliable V-100 for more than 2 years - absolutely LOVE it. No problems at all. I have had several Rowenta's over the years. First lived for close to 15 yrs. Numbers 2 and 3 lived very short lives! Don't think I'll ever consider another Rowenta - just not the quality product it used to be!

    I just bought at Costco the Rowenta Anti Calcium DW9150. You can always find you model number on your iron side at the base. It doesn't spit if you don't turn the steam up high. It is a bigger iron but seems to get the job done. It is made in Germany, not China.

    rowentas heat up very fast within seconds so the auto shutoff you don't have to worry

I have been using it now for about 3 months and haven't had one problem with it. It has way more steam and gets hotter than my Rowenta. Just my opinion but Rowenta is not the iron it used to be. Read some of the posts on this forum and you will find lots of thoughts about them.
    You don't use distilled water in rowentas in fact it states in the manuals it can cause leakage if you use distilled

    Can't say on the Rowenta. After researching myself I went with a Reliable because you can put it in steam ready mode so that it doesn't shut off. Lots and lots of steam!
