Have any other owners of this iron experienced a problem with the steam trigger getting stuck (not locked) and steam continuously comes out?

No I have not had that problem. It sounds like a manufacturing problem. Hope you get it figured out.. Cheers!!

Yes. I regret buying this iron. It leaks water like crazy. Also water rusts it there and it stained my clothes.

Yes I had the same problem I returned mine and upgraded to the DeLonghi VVX1440. Absolutely no problems what so ever. I do use distilled water over our hard tap water.

Yes. It's clearly a design flaw. The steam trigger got stuck recently, and there is no way to get it unstuck. I used the iron occasionally for two years before running into the problem, but it easily could have happened sooner. I think it happened due to inadvertent contact with the top lock button while picking up the iron.

I haven't had any problem with the steam at all. This is the best iron that I have owned. As a quilter I really appreciate this iron.

This is the latest model, but don't know if the issue with the frequent steam button has been addressed. However, there's a link in some of the negative review comments section where the buttons can be purchased for $5 a piece. I wouldn't let the button deter the decision to buy this steam generator. It's the best on the market, in this price range.

I have not had that problem with this iron, but I did with a previous Rowenta (different model). I iron 5 to 6 hours a week and have not really had any major complaint with any Rowenta I have had. Sounds like a problem with yours. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. The iron shuts off every ten minutes and then stops heating. Then, water starts leaking from the steam holes . I unplugged and replugged the iron cord so the heating cycle would start again. This is very excruciating. I bought a cheaper iron that does not have an auto shut off feature,

How strange? I only fill my reservoir halfway and hardly ever need to refill, often times empting water from the iron. Are you always pressing the lever for steam? Before I bought this iron I was so used to steam spitting constantly that I was surprised by how quiet and efficient this iron is.

I didn't know they had a problem with the trigger but the two I bought a few months ago both have a very await ove trigger. Be careful but I love mine.

Steam does not come out if you are not pulling the trigger. The pad however is wet so getting it completely dry isn't really an option unless you put on a new pad. The other day I dropped the cleaner tank and didn't have an issue using it to help clean that up.

I honestly haven't noticed any design flaws. This works better than any other iron I have ever owned. What have you noticed?

did you ever get your steamer to work. I have to keep hitting the reset button. It only last a couple of minutes and the steam quits again. Someone said I may need a new thermostat. Just wondering if you found a fix or tossed it!

I have never had to press the steam button while using the iron. However, because it is a cordless iron, it stays hot for a few minutes and then you put it back on the charger while you move what you are ironing to the next position. It heats up very quickly and I have been extremely satisfied with it. I don't do a great deal of ironing but love the convenience of not having a cord. I wouldn't go back to a standard iron again. Hope this answered your question.

I had one of those too and it was a terrific steam iron. The switch on mine finally gave up too and the repair store I took it to said that parts for that model are no longer available. Which is why I moved to the new model. Unfortunately, the new model does not even come close to the performance of the old one. It spits lots of water no matter how many times I clear the line (the manufacturer recommends 10 to 15 blasts to clear the line -- every time you pick it up -- inconvenient, to put it mildly). I'm looking desperately for some other steam generator iron. I won't be buying Rowenta anytime soon. I had one of those too and it was a terrific steam iron.

I really have not used it enough to know for sure. On my old one, if it was on steam setting, steam sort of flowed out of it but to get a lot I had to push the button. My new one seems to do the same.

Noisy when filling the steam chamber. Never timed how long to heat. To prevent leaking press steam button away from fabric if it has been sitting for a while between ironing. The water occurs when the steam in the cord cools down. Should not happen if you are continuously ironing.

I just got mine a couple weeks ago and have used it 3 times. I do see and hear the steam when using it, it sounds like something might be wrong with yours.

I use my quite a bit. I have no trouble with it dripping or sputtering. In fact, I almost did not purchase the iron because I read a few reviews about dripping and sputtering. But I am glad I did not listen to the reviews. Like any steam iron, it must be at the temperature you have set it at or it makes a loud swish of steam noise. But there is really no reason to attempt to use the iron before it has heated to appropriate temperature because it heats so fast. So far I have not complaints.

Have the Rowenta Advancer... circuitry went out, they replaced it under warantee (took 2 months)... Now 3 months into the replacement iron, the circuitry went out. Sent it for repair to the place rowenta told me to send it. Got it back after a month. Still doesn't heat up properly, lights don't work right and today I find that the water has completely leaked out all over my ironing board. Anyone have a good suggestion for my next iron? I won't go with the rowenta again!!

The only water I get is when I turn off the steam. The left over steam dumps into the bottom tray. No problems since I bought it 6 months ago. Just have to make sure you clean it and take care. A lot of the problems I've seen people posting could be cured by preventative maintenance.
