Love this iron.  It has so many steam holes that makes ironing quick and easy.  If you wear a lot of cotton/linen like I do, you'll love this iron.  I've owned two Rowenta irons in the past 25 years and only had to replace one due to it dropping on the floor and cracking the back section.  It still worked but I know it would be unsafe to use it.  I still have my second one and it still works great.  I just wanted a new one with the max steam and this one is awesome!
