It started pulling my hair. I stopped using it. It didn't straighten my thick hair as well as my old chi. I went back to chi.

I have had it for a few months and it's still works really well. The last babyliss I owned worked until I dropped it and broke the plate. I had it for years...

Been using it weekly for almost 2 years. Can't say beyond that, but we're satisfied with the waffle iron.

It has not done either for me and I use it a lot. Best iron I have had in years.

I bought this iron in october and like two days later it broke.. then in a store they told it was fake, so maybe thats why your iron stop heating.

This is an excellent iron and worth the extra investment. I don't use it daily, but to date is has been an excellent iron. I also believe that it irons better than the less expensive ones. I hated spending that much on an iron, but am glad I did, there is absolutely a difference between this one and less expensive one.

It lasts a while. Didn't notice having to change and we used it quite a bit.

It's worth buying replacement iron. Love this iron. Received free iron with vacuum cleaner in 2002. It was dropped and broken in 2006. Didn't take long to find replacement on Internet in same year and still enjoying it.

I've experienced no leaking. This is the best iron I've ever owned, and I've had my share at almost 70 years old. You have every reason to be OPTIMISTIC about this iron. :-) Karen

Not so far! I've only used it 3 times, but each time I had a pile of laundry and spent at least an hour each time. It was a recommended iron in the July 2014 ratings of a consumer magazine.

Base on my experience with my Rowenta DG8430, it lasted about 8 years before I had a leaking problem with it. It still works and irons very well; however, the water leaks out of it and I need to take it to the repair shop to have it repaired. The repair shop is about 40 miles from me; so to take it to the shop and then go back and pick it up, well that is my dilemma. The iron still works well.

The iron was a gift. The user says she has not used it for "came" so has no idea.Sorry for the lack of info.

I've had mine apx a year....still working great. Haven't dropped so I'd say yes, it's durable. Is used at least twice a week and an average of 15 to 18 pcs. Would I buy this iron again? Yes

It goes up to 400 degrees. The iron works pretty well, I have not encountered any problems.

Seems like 2~3 min. I usually turn on first and then go prepare batter and by the time I have finished preparing batter, the iron is ready or near ready.

Don't buy it, sooner or later the iron won't lift, the feet get stuck with starch. After cleaning it several times it stopped working altogether and then it smeled like burnt. I had it for a year, and all the reviews of people that have had it lomger than a year say the same. It is a wonderful iron while it works.

Fortunately I haven't had the problem the other reviewer refers to. I sew for a living and this iron is on for about 6 to 8 hours a day. Yes, they mention a bit about settings but depending on the material you are using and the amount of steam you are applying... the setting will depend. I use setting #4 (settings run #'s 1-5) the most for 100% cottons and corduroys. I bump up to #5 for heavy canvas. These are the materials I use most. I would suggest you try the various settings on the material you use to determine what works best for you since this iron is nothing like a retail/home use iron. My last iron was an Oliso and while I loved it...it just couldn't keep up. Sputtered and splattered all over the place. IF you purchase the Sapporo, be sure to purchase the demineralizer to extend the life of your iron. If you purchase this iron, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I have had three Rowenta Iron's and they are GREAT when they work but they don't last long. I got tired of replacing them and bought a DeLonghi iron the last time and it has been great and is s till working. That was two years ago.
