I received my first Rowenta iron over 25 years ago. What an Iron, I always have to iron my work clothes so I created a day just to iron. That iron still going strong. I needed a travel iron to go with my new sewing cabinet so Rowenta was my first choice, still a wonderful iron. Heats up fast and presses and irons like silk. You can't go wrong with a Rowenta iron. I would never by anything else!
