I've owned one Rowenta iron, and it was the worst iron I have owned. This iron has been in our house for probably 4 years, and I consider it the best iron that I've used.

Gee, I dont know why you would keep getting it. I did not like the iron because as I was ironing my hand would change the setting. The setting control is right where I hold the iron. Very bad design in my opinion.

didn't keep mine long enough to have problems. Bought my at a local store and took it back the next week. I now have a Rowenta that doesn't have the auto off feature. I'm a quilter and want the iron hot when I need to use it. Here is a previous comment I made on this iron: I'm sorry I bought this iron. It has auto shutoff which I don't like but have gotten used to since all irons are like that. My major beef with this is after is shuts off and you move it to start it again you have to move it to the setting you want. It doesn't return to the setting you had before. I don't turn my irons off, when I'm done I unplug them and when I plug them back it to use again, you have to reset the setting. Shouldn't have to constantly reset it.

Do not get it! I purchase this iron and it stop working. I tried to get a replacement and I still have not received a response.

Fortunately I haven't had the problem the other reviewer refers to. I sew for a living and this iron is on for about 6 to 8 hours a day. Yes, they mention a bit about settings but depending on the material you are using and the amount of steam you are applying... the setting will depend. I use setting #4 (settings run #'s 1-5) the most for 100% cottons and corduroys. I bump up to #5 for heavy canvas. These are the materials I use most. I would suggest you try the various settings on the material you use to determine what works best for you since this iron is nothing like a retail/home use iron. My last iron was an Oliso and while I loved it...it just couldn't keep up. Sputtered and splattered all over the place. IF you purchase the Sapporo, be sure to purchase the demineralizer to extend the life of your iron. If you purchase this iron, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

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.

Its not the best way to use it... I would not purchase this product because its useless. Its in my interest to keep you away from this. If you like problems then buy this otherwise buy a good normal iron. If you purchased it they dont refund to be careful... also electric failure may be the cause of this faulty stream iron...hope I have been helpful to you....

Sounds defective to me... I tested my unit and the outer surface was cool while the inner was way too hot. I could never get it up to temperature. I think waring needs to address the problems with this unit. I was so disappointed in its poor performance. i couldn't get mine to season properly either (I've seasoned lots of cast iron before). I sent mine back as defective.

I just ran eight card stock weight sheets through at once. It chewed them up slowly but without stopping. I would say if you are going to run the fat junk mail envelopes through occasionally it wouldn't be a problem; too many at once will probably heat up the machine and force you to wait while it cools down.* Just an FYI on this machine: I have tried many and this has been the most reliable shredder yet. In fact another office often liked to borrow it, until they accidentally left it out near the trash. Their "replacement" was a piece of junk that became unrepairable within three months. I have since purchased another DS-3 and am once again shredding jam/issue free. I just ran eight card stock weight sheets through at once. It chewed them up slowly but without stopping.

Yeah, that happened to me when I ordered it and used a spoon. That's one of the reasons I returned it. That much magnetized iron just can't be good for you. I also had stomach and intestinal upsets which disappeared after I discontinued using it. Yucky stuff!

I had one for years until I dropped it one too many times. The replacement I bought leaked. I contacted the company, they sent a new one and it works as good as the first. I highly recommend the iron.

I am not sure what is going on. I can iron 15 to 20 shirts with a full reservoir. Best iron I have ever had.

Have not had that particular problem so far. Every now and then it will spit out when the steam kicks in, but rarely. Could be I fill the tank too full. Overall, this iron has done the job I expected

I wish I had an answer for you. I understand the customer service is not good at Oliso. I was able to return my iron to Amazon. Personally I would contact Oliso. I've read the reviews after buying to iron and noticed so many people have problems with this problem and the leaking. Good luck.

All the irons I have had either steam or it's off. I have never owed any that would adjust the amount of steam including the last Rowenta I had. I use the bust of steam lots for very wrinkled areas. It is weird the tab goes both directions for steam and it's the same amount. Sorry I can't help you more.

That happened to me when I first started using the iron. I find that if I turn it to Off for just a few seconds and turn it on again, it works properly and consistently. The longer I use it, the better I like it.

My daughter is the main one to use this iron, but I know there's a grey button on the left side of the handle that you need to press for steam. Don't tilt the iron upright and don't press the steam button too frequently. See if that helps. If not, I can get my daughter to write back.

I love this iron. It is because it is a very easy glide and that you do no lifting that I like it. Automatic touch lowers and raises it. In my opinion it would be a good idea for you. It would be more the correct height for your ironing that would be more the problem.

I had the same concern, as I expected the iron to steam and outperform the Rowenta Iron that it was to replace. I was informed by the person who in fact recommended it to me that it only produces steam when the trigger is press. I am disappointed with the product overall since I expected a steam iron.
