Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is THE worst iron I've EVER owned! DO NOT buy! If I could give negative stars, I would! I originally bought this iron in March of 2017. I fell in love with the "self-cleaning" feature and the "steam burst" feature. I also liked the auto on/off feature because I'm a quilter and my use is often at random intervals. I still love the auto on/off aspect, but the other 2 features are essentially worthless in this iron. The "self-cleaning" feature is basically a lever that you push down that is supposed to clear any calcium deposits out if the steam jets. It works randomly, at best. As for the "steam burst" feature, well, I can't even seem to be able to use it because this iron LEAKS WATER ALL OVER! Every time I put water into the reservoir it slowly leaks out of SOMEPLACE in the back! I've tried my hardest to figure out where, but I have yet to be able to exactly pinpoint what happens. When the iron is upright for any thing longer than 10 minutes, it leaves a puddle directly underneath it. Then when you pick it up, about half of what is in the reservoir POURS out of the steam vents! Directly onto whatever you were trying to press! If you go directly to pressing after adding water, it drips from the exact middle in the back, leaving a wet trail behind as you go AND a drop or 2 will roll from somewhere just behind the handle (on either or both sides) and trickle down to the hot stainless plate! It's just been THE biggest disappointment! Of course, it was great for about 4 months...long enough for me to believe I was safe in discarding the box! Needless to say I couldn't return it at that point. I have just been tolerating it, but have recently become frustrated enough to take the time to write this review. I DO NOT recommend this iron and I will never again buy a Rowenta! Spend your hard earned money elsewhere!
