Be forwarned

This is my second - and last - Rowenta Professional! Because I am a quilter I use my iron constantly and thoroughly enjoyed all of the features including the steam. Unfortunately, this lasted for about 6 months. Then I could get steam only for about a minute after turning it on; after that I had to use the cleaning feature to get it to steam at all.

Because it was less than one year old, I returned it for repairs. Now I receive a letter outlining possible solutions; repairs will cost a few dollars less than buying a new one. Why would I do that? Guess I will buy moderately priced irons and toss when they break down.

The iron was originally purchased at Costco; I wish I had known that I could return it to them for a refund and not wasted money sending it to the repair service.

This is the second Rowenta Professional that has had the steam feature break down. It is definately the last Rowenta I will own.
