I bought this iron about a year ago, and it bubbles water out of the area where water is added for steaming. Any ideas as to why that is happening?

I experience the same thing. The vendor recently contacted me after my rating on this site. They informed me that it would be replaced with a new one. Could be there might be some defective piece. Not sure, waiting for the replacement. Will repost new experience

I have used two versions of this and never had that problem. Maybe you should try replacing the steam head attachement

It sounds like your boiler (reservoir) may be rusted. I am not sure how you would clean the reservoir. I would contact the company, if possible. I am surprised that this happened unless the iron is quite old and hadn't been used for quite a while. Good luck

Mine has the brown spot issue as well every time I use self cleaning before ironing, for the leaking just swivel ironing temperature indicator and put it on the lowest one.

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.

It happens with me as well because while ironing I always press on the steam lever underneath the handle. Because this iron consumes lot of steam. It's normal. And I do not fill the reservoir till the max or else it will spit water, so I just fill half of the tank and yes after a shirt and a half I have to fill it, not fun but at least feels good to iron with good steam.Oh and always use distilled water, no tap water

I returned mine for the same reason. The iron I received as a replacement also had water droplets when I received it.

That would be my guess as well. Had it happen only once and did let it heat a while before using. Think the excess water turned to steam and all was well. I love my steamer.

Do you have the correct heat on your iron? I use this product a lot and have never had a problem. The other thing is, have you prewashed the fabric? These are the only things I would know. Good luck!

When you first plug it in it will not heat up unless you actually press the button(s) selecting which fabric/temperature you will be pressing. If you are idle for a while and the iron is not being used then the iron shuts itself off. I have only had this iron two months and it is already malfunctioning - while I am ironing/pressing, it will shut itself off and I have to re-press the button selection to get it going again. I am looking into buying an iron with a separate water resevoir so I can have continuous steam while pressing.

Mine went "Ka-Flooey" after a few uses. Just kept going up and down, up and down.....I contacted Amazon and my money was refunded. They told me not to send the iron back. I really wanted to get a good Oliso iron. My first one leaked and the "back leg" still drags. That one did not come from Amazon, unfortunately.

I've never had that problem and I use the steam option all the time. You might try not pressing so hard on your fabric and making sure the fabric is smooth on your ironing board. Hope that helps. Good luck!

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.

Hi have owned for 8 months when steam setting is used does not seem to have any problem with continuous steam. Also very easy to fill tank with water as it comes off the iron to take to the sink. Good luck !

Mine makes a noise when I press the button like it's building up to steam. It's sort of a gurgling or water popping kind of sound. That's normal. Does that help?

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.

I am in same position as Charles, I haven't used mine enuf to really give a good response, however, it uses up water really, really fast which irritates me. I find I need to have the steam button pushed almost to the max to get any steam. Maybe setting it lower will help and using the button to release the steam. As I re-think this response....it must be giving continual steam when set to the higher steam setting if I am using water so fast....now, are we all confused....I need to use it more but overall, I am happy with the iron....it is my second Rowenta and, at this stage, I won't even consider another brand.
