I love to sew and quilt, so I have always done a lot of ironing and went through a number of irons in my past. In the past I purchased fairly cheap irons (under $50) and thought they were all the same. Finally, when my last iron broke I treated myselt to Rowenta Focus - oh wow, what a difference! I wish I have done it earlier.What I like1) Rowenta iron removes the deepest wrinkles on cotton and linen in one swipe2) It can be used vertically to remove wrinkles from curtains3) It allows you to adjust the amount of steam delivered4) It has burst of steam feature5) It has water spray feature6) You can turn off steam when you don't need it7) It is easy to use all the features8) It feels good in your hand, good ergonomic designThis is a great iron!
