My iron is leaking from the bottom, but I have not dropped it and I'm the only one that uses it for quilting.
I've only had the iron for 2 years.
Should I just throw it away and buy another?
If so, what brand is reliable?
Has someone else had this problem?
Grateful for any suggestions..
thanks,

My iron leaks from the bottom on occassion also, but usually only if I hit the steam button before it is fully warmed up and I have found that it will leak if I fill too close to the fill line. Does yours leak all the time?

write the company they believe their irons are wonderful and need to know of the problems. Can't hurt to write them. My best success if cheapies from the big box stores. They seems to outperform the more expensive ones. I've now had 7 of one of the expensive ones - been exchenged each time it started dumping water. If you pay $6 for an iron and it lasts a year you are still ahead. I've dropped my Black and Decker that I paid $10 for and it stillis going.

I will never buy another Rowenta. Not worth the money they cost. Didn't last as long as the Black & Decker or my latest Shark that I bought at WalMart. I do like having one that shuts off after a certain amount of time. They can be a pain too by shutting off while you are working, but the peace of mind knowing my iron shut off is worth it. I found myself too many times forgetting to turn it off. When leaving the house I always double check to make sure it is off just to be sure.

I have a cheap big box iron too. If I forget to turn it off, it goes off. Only 'leaks' if I overfill it and then when it gets hot, it splatters all over the ironing board. My sister goes thru a lot of irons - she is a rug hooker. She buys used wool clothing and after washing, it needs ironed before she can cut it. She likes the 'cheap' irons I get for her at yard sales, and the heavier the better. Except one time I got the heaviest iron ever, for 50 cents. She agreed that that iron was way beyond her.
