I never had a hundred dollar steam iron before and am very disappointed in the Rowenda I brought about six months ago. It is hard to fill the iron with water without spilling water on the iron. You can not see the water level of the water. What a stupid design mistake. The other major problem is that you can't see the settings. This is an important thing to know. This iron gets hot, hot and I find it crinkles up some fabrics because it is that hot. In order to get steam you have to turn the temperature up very high. If I turn it down a little I get no steam. Lastly, it is heavy.
