Leaking Iron!!

Hi

Can anyone suggest an iron that does not leak as you use it......?

I am fed up with irons that seep water when used as steam irons, so that it runs down the handle and you end up with damp hands. I had a Morphy Richards iron that leaked so bought a new one in the sales, a Russel Hobbs and it is even worse.

Many thanks

    I have never had much luck with Tefal irons, we now have a Philips (Azur I think), it's excellent.

    I used to have a problem with a leaking iron but when I actually read the instructions it said DO NOT STAND ON END... which I always did (don't know why I did) but since I stopped standing it on its end each time I put it down the leaking has stopped...
    That may not be your problem but thought I would mention it...
