Drip Free? I think NOT! DRIP, DRIP, DRIP!

I have had this iron for a couple of years and it is NOT drip free! The first few months I noticed some water droplets coming out of the iron (in various places). After having the iron for sometime, the water literally pours out from every seam of the iron. The retractable cord is a nice feature, but that also doesn't retract all of the way on the first try. It sometimes takes three tries to get it to retract into the iron all of the way since it gets stuck constantly. As another reviewer said, the iron takes way too long to heat up.

All in all, I give this iron TWO thumbs way down!!!
