Does this iron leak or spit?

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.

It will if it is not set on high all the time. It did leak when the first time I used it and then it stopped but it makes ironing so much faster. This is my second one before this I had the same one that had a boiler on it and that was great too.

no, it's a great iron. I use it to iron everything. A regular iron takes to long to get the results that this iron can do in less than half the time. Money well spent.

No, I've not experienced any leakage or water spewing. However, If you purchase this iron and find that it trips your electric circuit when using an extension cord you may have better luck plugging it into the wall directly.

If you google complaints about this iron, you will find, as I did, many complaints about this iron and problems with leakage. Apparently this is a big problem. It was with me. I just threw out my second rowenta for the same problem. It was only a little over a year old and not heavily used. So, I switched from the a Rowenta that I paid about $170.00 for to a Black and Decker that cost lest than $40.00. The Black and decker has a smaller plate and is lighter and ..........it irons better and quicker and without a long wait time to heat. Buy it but reads the reviews first. Believe them.

There is a little steam icon above the cotton setting. Only above that setting will it steam. Below that setting you should not put water in the iron as it will leak.

I have never had a problem with it leaking. Some reviewers say this is an older model with better features which was why I purchased it.

Been a while...not sure what plastic attachment came in box. But maybe it has something to do with the horrible leakage issues associated with using this iron!!!!

The ironing mat itself is quite sturdy, & does not appear to 'leak' heat to the surface you're ironing on. If I were ironing on granite, however, I would place a larger towel or something underneath the mat, in case your iron went off the mat slightly - wouldn't want to scratch the granite.

I had a Rowenta, actually I've been through 2 Rowentas, with that same problem. Also with both Rowentas not only did they leak, the on n off button didn't work either. This iron sooooo far very good. No leaks and irons better then a Rowenta

Base on my experience with my Rowenta DG8430, it lasted about 8 years before I had a leaking problem with it. It still works and irons very well; however, the water leaks out of it and I need to take it to the repair shop to have it repaired. The repair shop is about 40 miles from me; so to take it to the shop and then go back and pick it up, well that is my dilemma. The iron still works well.

I recently bought this iron (about a month ago) and although it is a good iron, I wouldn't claim that it is fantastic. It depends on the material you are ironing. Some cottons that are lightweight iron beautifully. But other blouses still look wrinkled. Jeans iron up nicely, but again my husband's dockers don't. I sometimes get a white powder that sprays out onto the clothes. When emptying the water after I am finished ironing, I find that all the water doesn't empty. I called the customer service number and they told me that this happens due to the tube that is in the iron and it is okay. I don't feel comfortable leaving water in the iron between ironings. I may take it back to the store for a refund. I spent a great deal of money on this iron and I am not sure it is worth it.

Yes. I regret buying this iron. It leaks water like crazy. Also water rusts it there and it stained my clothes.

No it hasn't. The only time it has leaked was when one of the spritzers came off. I even dropped one and it was fine. However, I didn't drop it very far.

It does, but it not the problem with this useless iron. It leaks like there is no tomorrow. After trying three different samples of this model and a few other Rowenta models, I have given up on them. When I called customer service to let them know of the issue and why they are losing customers, all I got was defensive responses vs. trying to understand true customer issues. This brand is not what it used to be.... Switched brands now (to Electrolux) after 20 years with Rowenta and couldn't be happier. No issues for ~ 6 months now.

I have used my iron regularly and have not had a single problem with it. I would recommend this product as it functions well, the sole plate remains clean, and it is easy to maneuver.

Can you or anyone who has used this iron beyond its initial period tell me if it has begun to "spew", leak or sputter? I have had several Rowenta irons in the past and they invariably sputter and drip eventually and create lots of ironing headaches. How is this one doing after owning it for a longer time? Thanks.

answer to your question very broad it all depends where it is leaking if it is cross thread , the oring is damage or not tighten enough it will leak. I hope this helps and you can solve the problem good luck

How strange? I only fill my reservoir halfway and hardly ever need to refill, often times empting water from the iron. Are you always pressing the lever for steam? Before I bought this iron I was so used to steam spitting constantly that I was surprised by how quiet and efficient this iron is.

follow directions and let it heat up for 2 minutes and it won't spit water. Does have a red light when iron is plugged in.
