One of the items we registered for was an iron, and for some reason we picked out a really top-of-the-line one, I guess it couldn&#8217;t hurt, right? It&#8217;s a Rowenta &#8220;powerglide 2,&#8221; and I think it cost at least $70.00. TB got it for us the following Christmas. Nice!<\/p>\n<p>The iron has been <strong>very gently used<\/strong>. I rarely iron clothes; not even once a month! I&#8217;ve mostly used it for sewing, and in between projects it&#8217;s just sat on the shelf.<\/p>\n<p>And now it&#8217;s stopped working. Plug it in, no response. Yes, we tried other outlets&#8230; I read the troubleshooting guide online, no help there. What gives?! I&#8217;d expect an expensive iron to last a good 10 years at least. It did have a warranty but only for one year, so 3 years later, that&#8217;s no good. I don&#8217;t think I even got a year&#8217;s worth of use out of it, cumulatively.
