I bought this when my last Rowena started spitting out “sand”.  But then i had it for about 10 years and everyone in the house used it and just left it with water in it etc.  thank goodness the kids are grown up now and this one won’t get that abuse!  
So far, I’ve loved the new one.  It’s heavy enough to do a good press but light enough to iron for a while.  I sew, so I love the quick heat up.
