All they say it is.... Recent purchase of the Rowenta Focus proved to be a good choice in that it is all they said it was, i.e. stainless steel sole plate with lots of holes in it, large capacity water reservoir, quite heavy, pointy at the tip (where else?)and pretty good looking...for an object that can cause third degree burns and fend off nasty looking intruders.

People have experienced trouble with its longevity, but as a family we iron on occasion so hopefully we can get 20 years out of it. In-laws have same company and their iron is going on 7 years.
