Did I use that word right? kvetching? like looking over someone's shoulder in a card game and giving unwanted and revealing advice? Well I "could" complain that my iron has no cover over the steam hole. So if I get really fast, the water sloshes back out of it, and it's REALLY HOT water too! I don't know how many times I stop to iron out the water spots in the ironing board instead of the fabric. LOL Then you could comiserate, which is sort of like complaining, just in the second person tense. I think the Rowenta I want is called DM-886. Heavy, No Auto-Off, Covered fill hole, and Selectable Steam as in, I can push the button and lock it down for steam, or release it and no steam, even if I'm on a hot setting like Cotton.
