I am definitely jealous. I've dropped the iron to my Rowenta steam generator a few times this summer so perhaps this one will be on my Christmas list.
Jane, I'm retiring my old Rowenta Steam Generator to make room for this baby. Earlier this summer I must have set the hot sole plate of the iron slightly off of the resting pad and it MELTED a huge hole in the outer case. I was afraid to use it for a while but it doesn't seem to have affected the performance. Still, it makes me a little nervous and, since this happened just after attending Pamela's t-shirt workshop where she spoke so highly of Reliable's irons, I decided it was time to make the move. Also, my Rowenta had been showing early signs of failure so I knew it would only be a matter of time. I've been waiting to use up the current tank of water in the Rowenta before I made the switch -- it's taken almost two months which shows you how little sewing I'm getting done this summer. One note: the footprint of the Reliable is larger than the Rowenta.
A new toy is always fun. Hope you two pair for many new projects together.
