Hi,
I am a Rowenta owner who loves her steam generating iron. It holds a nice amount of water and stays pressurized. I have a hint for those of you who have the dripping problem, if you will "burp" the line you will lose the drip. All you have to do is hold the iron up so that the line is completely straight, then depress the steam button until the sputtering stops, finally just start pressing as usual. The drip comes from the build up of condensation in the line between uses, just give it a good release first and you too will love this iron.

Hi, I had a Rowenta steam generator iron. It was fabulous for hot temps but dribbled on low temp. My favourite iron is the Digital Velocity by Reliable. It looks like a regular iron but has an internal steam generator so the steam is separate from the sole plate temp. As well as home sewing, I sew theatre costumes and some of the fabrics are inexpensive polyesters and like fabrics. With this iron I can have a low sole plate and a ton of steam and it never dribbles. There are two drawbacks, it's weight and it goes through water quite quickly but it is easy to fill and can be done in mid ironing task if needed.

I also have the rowenta steam generator iron and it "leaks"[u]like crazy. It is very frustrating.
After speaking with a few bloggers, I am looking at getting Reliable Generator Boiler Steam Iron. It appears to be a winner

It was interesting when I called Rowenta to ask about the leaking steam generator and was there an answer to solve the problem the woman told me that never had any reports of them leaking????? I said well you should read the online reviews about them leaking and she told me it was nonsense, there was never a problem?? I said well the one I have leaks like a sieve. All I could do was mail it to a repair shop. Not good customer service in my book which causes me to not want to deal with that company. Thanks for the input on other brands.

Hi,
My former iron, which I loved and lasted 10 years was a Euro=Pro steam generator with a "suction' ironing board. I loved that thing, but the company told me they no longer make or import that product. I would like to find the same kind of system, because even though I can get an iron that generates enough steam, the fabric remains damp, (especially wool), after pressing and it takes too much time to wait while the fabric "dries'. The suction board dried the fabric right away, and I could continue sewing without having to wait. Does anybody know of an ironing system available like that?

Hi. I have a Penguin Steam Iron, one of the gravity type irons . It gives off great steam . I've had it for three years now and so far no problems. I have had a Euro Pro with a generator and a Rowenta, without a generator, neither lasted more than a year. So eventhough you have to hag the water container higher up on the penguin it has been the best so far.

I have the same question about steam generator irons. My husband has bought me several Rowenta irons, which were great while they lasted, but they didn't seem to last very long, considering their price. When the last Rowenta "died", I bought a Conair digital iron for $30 and have been fairly pleased with it. It doesn't have quite the steam output that I would like, though, so I have been wondering about a steam generator iron. Rowenta seems to be getting mixed reviews, so I, too, would be interested in any thoughts/advice about the best brands of steam generator irons.

I have an older Rowenta that I've never been happy with, it doesn't really work and is cheaply put together but not cheap. I read online about steam generators and recently ended up purchasing a Rowenta Pressure Iron and Steamer DG5030 and it leaked terribly and took a very long time to heat up. I sent it back. Now I'm confused about what to get. I read the online reviews and it looks like the model up from this one has mostly good reviews but some very bad. I guess you either get a fabulous iron or a lemon? I'd really appreciate knowing what you all are using and are happy with. Any other models than Rowenta that are good?
