The Euro is the only one I'll ever use.

I love my Rowena. If you let you iron heat completely, it should not spit. If it still spits, try cleaning it. I run a vinegar and water mixture through my iron periodically. It always seems to work better after I do it.

I agree I hate steam irons, I have 4 of them all different brands and prices. The last one I bought at a quilt show and paid $150 for it and I wouldn't give you 2 cents for another.

I have used Rowenta in the past but they will start leaking. My hubby who can fis irons says that it is a rubber seal that has dried and now leaks. Can not fins one to replace it and Rowenta will not just sell him the seal. I stopped using Rowenta. Bought a new Oscilo just recently but have not tried it yet. Use the old Black and Decker I have for ironing clothes works well. Also purchased a dry ironfrom Vermont stores to do all my applique with no holes. Works well in quilting to but just use a spray bottle of water.

I am a Rowenta fan for the last 30 years. Its the only brand I buy and use and I haven't experienced the problems most have mentioned they have had with their Rowentas and I do use steam.

I recently won a Hamilton Beach Durathon iron from a quilt blog that I have yet to use. This is my first non Rowenta iron in over 30 years.

But with the steam, perhaps a spray bottle and dry iron may work when you need steam. It's true using tap water in some irons causes problems with the irons. I used distilled water for years in my irons.

I now use a dry iron. The holes in a steam iron kept catching on the edges of me piecing. I bought the dry iron on AMAZON-about $20.00.

Love my Oliso, have had it for about 6-7 yrs. Works great!

I actually use my Rowenta without water and just spritz with a bottle.

I use a solid sole plate dry iron I bought at a Hospice resale shop for $5 years ago when I want heat. I use a B &D steam iron when I need steam. Both are still going strong.

I use a black and decker digital advantage from a thread on this board. I LOVE THIS IRON. Less than $50.00.....It gets hot. IRONS out wrinkles better that any other iron I've ever had. I am contemplating buying another just for when this one quilts working. the best iron I've ever own and I've had a number or Rowena's.....
