I bought my Rowenta Access Steam Iron (DW2171) a couple of months ago, and I'm well pleased with its performance. However, the dark orange color of the plastic is definitely a negative. First, why have a dark color at all? It's not as though my iron is part of my interior design! More importantly, the color makes it nearly impossible to see the water level in the reservoir, either when filling or when checking during use. To me, this is a significant flaw that would've changed my decision to buy this model.
