The only reason it failed is because I accidentally pulled on the cord to unplug it rather than the plug and broke the connection in the wire. I bought a "get me by" B&D that was horrible and failed very quickly. I got sucked into the Oliso hype and bought their very $$$$ SmartTouch Pro and was very unimpressed. Sold it and went back to Rowenta and will never look at another brand again. They are pricey, but keep your eye out for a good deal and jump on it. I hope you find one you love.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135891264991619125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040223448706025231.post-5225363313210558712013-05-05T12:04:12.860-07:002013-05-05T12:04:12.860-07:00I have a Black & Decker that I have had for se...I have a Black & Decker that I have had for several years with no trouble. However, I haven't used it in a long time as my husband got me a Panasonic cordless iron several years ago and that is what I use now. I have never had a Rowenta although I hear they are good. <br />I haven't had much luck with appliances bought a WalMart as they don't seem to last.<br />Miz Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704919259081903355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040223448706025231.post-83041337804034730892013-05-05T07:34:31.427-07:002013-05-05T07:34:31.427-07:00I have 2 Rowentas, one I thought had given up (but...I have 2 Rowentas, one I thought had given up (but it had not) and the other a purchase because it was on sale and a GREAT buy. I've probably had them both for over 5 or 6 years and they still work beautifully. It's a good investment. I don't think the models I have are still around, just go with the basic model and I think you'll be pleased.

The...I will never spend a dime on another Rowenta. The last two never worked right I had an older one that lasted forever and never gave me any problems until I dropped it. My father-in-law fixed it but it didn't last long after that. I have now had a Hamilton Beach Durathon for about 6 months without any problems and it was pretty cheap so if it breaks in a year, I'll just get a new one. And this one steams wonderfully and doesn't leak.Barbara Sindlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864004276255587051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040223448706025231.post-82939192608868473442013-05-04T19:55:15.425-07:002013-05-04T19:55:15.425-07:00I have an Oliso and love it.

I saw a demo at a quilt show then bought it at quilt.market with free shipping. it has feet that lift when you take your hand off the sensor handle so you do not have to put it upright when done ironing.

It never did leak and I literally burned it up! I am now using a Norelco that my SIL gave me and it's nice, but when it finally 'dies', I will be looking to get myself another T-fal.Katie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09538545754383438552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040223448706025231.post-25836000171880181542013-05-04T14:22:36.561-07:002013-05-04T14:22:36.561-07:00I have a Rowenta and it sputters and leaks.

Sticking problems I run a warm iron over wax paper and it recoats it. Good Luck.

I bought it at Joanne's with a coupon. It says that it's a Rowenta Effective, but I'm sure that they've changed the name over the years. I think they're worth the cost.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.com
