I have had issues over the last 5 years with my iron purchases. I iron office wear for my family every morning and of course sew each day and iron during that time daily as well. I have been a long time supporter of rowenta. But was on my 6th iron in less than 5 years for the morningt ironing etc. I have a different iron now since the last 6 months strictly for sewing. In a short time though the iron ued for clothing failed regularly.
I was on the hunt for a new iron and decided to try another brand. I trust MQSC and decided on the reliable iron.
Now that I have it, I love it! I don't know longevity wise yet but so far the performance is spectacular! It is a bit heavy but I like it that way. I was not crazy about the heat selection dial as it is really hard to decipher but once I read the manual and watch the lights, I think I found a happy medium for the office wear I iron for my family. I really really like the hand sensor for steam. It is so true that steam is lost while sitting during garment adjustments. This iron immediately stops steam as soon as you set the iron down and remove your hand from the handle. And starts right back up when you give it another go! I do recommend this iron. It is pricy but if it remains "reliable" and lasts it will be worth it!
