Rowenta is a trusted name for a reason. I now have had my iron for almost four years. I use it every day under heavy use, sometimes I have to fill the reservoir three or four times, if not more, in a day. I love the weight, even when the reservoir is empty. It glides beautifully, even over more delicate fabrics, although I primarily use cottons. The tip is great for seams. The steam function will remove the wrinkles from an old salty sea dog's face. When the iron is not in use, it does not completely shut off the iron; instead the power light blinks and the soleplate is cooled down. But turn the iron horizontally and within seconds it's back to the chosen setting. The water reservoir is large and easy to see to fill (I have to wear reading glasses when sewing and I can fill the reservoir without needing them just fine). The power cord is of a good length and I like the ball function where the power cord meets the iron, allowing the iron to move freely without the backend fishtailing from being pulled by the cord.
Really, the only con I can think of is it has just started to leak just a little. This is typical to any iron of any brand. Not putting water in your iron will extend it's life. Plus, like I said, mine gets heavy use.
Overall, this is a reliable and precise iron that is well worth the money. Under normal usage (ie: ironing clothes and bedding a few times a week), I can see this iron lasting a very long time. I know people that have had a Rowenta for over 20 years. I am absolutely happy I have gotten roughly 4 years out if this iron before it has shown any kind of faults considering how heavily I use this each day. I will continue to use this iron now as my home usage iron and purchase another for my heavy duty usage.

It's a good iron overall, BUT definitely has cons
This iron is great. My mom bought it in 2019 and it's still working wonderfully, so when I needed an iron myself I decided to go with one that's been tested time and time again. Unfortunately, I wasn't as lucky with this SAME EXACT iron bought from the SAME EXACT seller on Amazon. Not only does it sometimes leave brown-colored stains on clothes (only notice on lights) from the steam option, but the bigger issue more recently (and this has been going on for months) is what's in the photos - it spits out some brown gunk from the steam holes whenever it "spits out steam" and this stuff gets all over the clothes, ironing board, floors, you name it. It's a nuisance! I clean the iron as per the manual every 2 weeks (or once a week if I feel like it would benefit and prevent this problem). Last time I cleaned it, put it away and then when I needed to use a few days later, this is the result in the photos. It was CLEANED!! So what is this stuff and how do I stop it from happening again?? Very frustrating and disappointing.

the water tank cover is broken.
I have noticed that past few items which have been delivered have had problems and this is happening again and again. Such an expensive item should have been checked properly before despatching.
