I’ve had a Rowenta for the last 12 years and my husband dropped it and the top cracked, so we replaced it with this Rowenta iron. I am amazed at how easy it is to use—you just plug it in, it’s hot super fast to the exact right temp, then you iron away. My last one lasted for 12 years so I know I will get a lot of life out of this iron. I especially love how the tip of the iron is pointed so that you can easily get into corners. It’s a solid iron that feels good in your hands but isn’t too heavy. I’m so happy with this iron, it’s very high quality and I won’t need to replace it for a long, long time!
