T- Fal Iron....As good as described August 25, 2007

Our Rowenta iron gave out and we needed a new one. We knew T-Fal made good cooking appliances, so we decided to give the T-Fal iron a try. It is great. It is well-engineered with lots of useful features such as the large tip-proof base, the 10 foot cord and a large water reservoir. It is manufactured in Europe and the price is right.
I love this iron so much I have five stashed! January 9, 2007

I do NOT have a good history with irons. They either start leaking on me or they stop getting hot. I guess I'm just too hard on them. I love to iron-its a stress relief with me, so I iron every week. I guess most irons aren't made for that intense of use-Panasonic, Black&Decker, Sunbeam, even Rowenta--I killed them all.
Then I tried the Tfal irons. My first one lasted two years, till I dropped & cracked it. My second one lasted from 1997 through 2001--again, my fault. I put it on the stove to cool, and when I turned on a burner to make tea, I turned on the wrong burner and melted the iron. (Told you I was hard on them.)
When I went to buy a replacement, I noticed that only the basic Tfal was available at Sams only. Not Target, Foleys, Sears, Macy's, Walmart--only Sams. So I came to Amazon, and woo-hoo!! started buying as many as I could. I now have five of the 155 stashed,(used to have six) along with my basic one, as backups. I figured those would last me a good long time--until I used a substandard extension cord with the one I was previously using, and the extension cord popped, and the plug between the cord and the iron caught on fire. NOTE: If you're gonna use an extension cord, use a FAT heavy-duty one with these irons. Or don't use one at all. You don't really need an extension cord with them, the cords are plenty long..but I'm lazy, and I like to iron sitting down, and I like plenty of cord.
What I like about these irons is that they have lots and lots of steam holes..not just 12. It has an automatic shutoff if it isn't used within 6 minutes, and it heats up quickly. The plate doesn't stick to your clothes. The reservoirs are easy to fill, and I have yet to come across one that has leaked. It has both a burst of steam and a sprayer & you get as much use out of every poof of steam and every drop of water as possible. And the only time the iron will barf on your clothes is if you overfill it. The plates are really easy to clean, too--just wipe them off with a damp towel (wait till they cool off first, though, or wipe them with a really thick towel really FAST!). With mine, I also run some cleaner through them occasionally-Clear Flow which I find at Ace Hardware every other month.
My only complaint is that its hard to get all the water out of them when you're through. I usually have to shake the heck out of it, turn it upside down, and press both the steam burst and the spray buttons to get every drop of water out. Then, I turn it either upside down in the drain, or, if it's the late model with the filler neck on the bottom of the iron, I open the reservoir and set it in the sink overnight.
