Title: Power cord seems to be an engineering defect
Review: I have owned 2 Rowentas over the last 4 years and in both cases the power cords eventually shorted out within the housing of the iron. The latest cord failure resulted in blue flames shooting out of the rear of the iron. I detached the rear panel and discovered the rubber cord covering burned through aprox 1.5 inches before the 3 internal wires (1 white, 1 green, and 1 black)split off. I pulled back the outer covering and discovered the black wire had completely burned through. The white and green wires seem undamaged. I'm not sure but it looks like the wrong gauge of wire was used, thus resulting in over-heating. I'm not planning on buying another Rowenta as a result of my past experiences with this manuafacturer.
Is the review positive or negative?
