Every iron that I buy leaks water not long after buying it. Actually, the last one that I bought began leaking the first time I ironed!!!
What is a good iron I can buy and worth the money? Or is a steamer better? My sister only steams, does not iron.

I have a Rowenta everlast anti calc that I like and it doesnt leak. Any of the Rowenta line would be fine, I'm sure, but make sure that it's made in Germany.

LOL - OP if EVERY iron you buy leaks, have you considered user error?
Perhaps you're overfilling the water tank. I actually knew someone once who said that every pair of running shoes they ever owned hurt their feet. I watch him lace up one day and nearly busted a gut laughing at high tightly he tied the laces. I suggested that he not tie them so tightly...and voila, no more pain.

I had a Shark which was good initially, but stopped working after about a year. I replaced it with a Rowenta and it’s been a love affair since. If you regularly iron, don’t bother with anything else.

I bought a "Joy" steamer at Target years ago and never looked back. It saves so much time and the need of having to store an ironing board.

R4 please don’t talk to me about steaming. Damn it man! I need knife sharp creases and pleats.

How did this thread happen at the exact time I realized my iron was kaput & ordered a new iron?
Ordered a Rowenta Promaster 1775 watts. Usually use a dry iron in order to ensure my (quilting) pieces of fabric don't stretch or warp, though I use the steam function from time to time. Uses tap water. Has a self-cleaning function, automatic turnoff.
Wrinkled clothing I hang in the bathroom during my shower, wrinkles gone. (Does not always work on synthetics, those need a dry iron on low heat.)
Oliso irons (the ones that lift themselves off the surface when you let go of the handle - those are quite good. I'm just too used to setting the iron upright though. I've used an Oliso in workshops but leaving an iron face down is strange.
