This is my 3rd Rowenta and I'm very disappointed. I iron almost every piece of clothing for myself and the kids and need a realiable iron. I like the retractable cord and steam but after less than four months the leakage that everyone refers to started, what I didn't notice mentioned is that when it leaks it could leak VERY HOT water!Definitely not worth the investment as you'll end up wasting more time trying to scramble to get your clothes dry if you happen to get the iron to work for longer than a minute.
