rowenta pro master iron
#3
I will never purchase Rowenta again. Iron broke during warranty period, authorized repair shop was incompetent, slow, rude, and lied to me, and then iron again broke right after warranty expired. (And that was the only authorized repair place in the western US.)

I buy cheap 'throw away' irons. Sad, but the expensive ones don't work any better or longer than the inexpensive ones. The one I took out of the box last week was less than 20 bucks. Doesn't have an automatic shut off - which is good and bad ...

I've used expensive and cheap. They both wear out pretty quick. I've used distilled water and tap water. It didn't seem to make any difference. They both started leaking and spiting after awhile.
I've been using a $20 iron from Walmart for about 2 years now and it still works fine. When it dies, I'll try to buy another just like it.

I only use the German made ones. Won't use anything else as others don't get hot enough for me. I have an Oliso in a box and bought another Rowenta shortly after purchasing. Not sure about others but haven't had any issues with mine my brother ruined the seal on my 8 year old one so had to get a new iron wasn't impressed with Oliso so got another Rowenta off QVC and love it

Found a Rowenta at Goodwill, got it home, and it didn't heat. DH is a handy guy and he replaced the cord. Spray and steam worked good but the spray was stuck and was leaking everytime I used it. I pulled out the sprayer from where it was stuck within the iron. After getting the gunk out with vinegar and water, it's like a new iron.
It's touch and go with Rowenta, I think. I had one before this that didn't last long before it tore up.
I want one of those irons that you set down in the down position because it has a spring-load mechanism that springs it up from the ironing board when it's set down. Saw it for $150 on Amazon so that was out for me.
