Several of my quilting friends had suggested that I purchase a Rowena iron when my other one passed on. I think I used it 2 or 3 times before it started to drip water  and gunk up on the soleplate. I even ordered a special Rowena cleaning kit which cleaned the plate only to have it gunk up again. It is next to impossible to see how full the water reservoir is but I would empty it out when I was done for the day. Unfortuantely it must not have all emptied out because the next time when it began spitting it was brown water and stained my fabric. I have been using irons for over 60 years and  would not waste my money buying another iron from this company.
