Rowenta DA-75 Steam ' n Press Dual-Voltage Travel Steam Iron Review

Rowenta DA-75 Steam ' n Press Dual-Voltage Travel Steam IronMy wife and I had a pretty nice Rowenta steamer that we got as a wedding gift about 4 years ago.Well, that one didn't have the dual voltage switch and when we were in Europe, we basically fried it (our fault - we thought the converter would work with it, but apparently not).Anyway, we replaced it with this model last fall.Big mistake.The first thing I noticed is this one is made in Mexico, the old one was made in Germany.Also much cheaper quality - the parts, the fit and finish.We turned it on and it never heated up.Took it back and brought #2 home.This one heated up, got so hot that it emitted a scary smell (like when you clean an oven) and the plastic cover plate got too hot to the touch.Based on reading the manual and the website, I don't think this is supposed to happen.At any rate, we were never able to get it to emit steam, no matter how long we waited or how much we pressed the button.Back to the store to exchange it for #3.This time we made the clerk try it out to see if it was just us.It wasn't.None of the store personnel were able to get it to work.When they gave us a new one, I asked them to try it as well.Same result.They had to open yet another new one out of the box (we're up to #4 now, if you're still trying to keep count) which worked.Admittedly I was pretty leery at this point, but we were leaving on a trip in less than a week and they stocked no other steamer models.So I took it home and it went with us to Japan.Worked fine the first few times, but after about a week of travel it began to fall apart.Now it leaks profusely and the steam output is about half what it once was.I contacted Rowenta but the hassle to box this thing up, send it to the service center in San Diego, etc. is just not worth it to me.Needless to say, I am through with buying Rowenta.
