Steam generator iron, steam ironing system

[Judith A.]

My Rowenta Perfect Steam generator has died after 20 months. I really enjoyed using it while it lasted. It's 400 steam holes made wonderful steam. The iron part itself was lightweight. The stainless steel base glided easily, like a dream. It made short work of ironing yardage and laundry.
The iron part still heats up perfectly, but it suddenly stopped steaming. I have cleaned the calc/scale collector and rinsed it out several times. Nothing worked. The steam generator part is Dead.

I need to replace it with another steam generator.
I am looking for one:
1. that lasts longer than 2 years,
2. is easy to decalc and descale, and clean,
3. doesn't drip or leak water,
4. has an iron that is lightweight and glides easily. (I have shoulder problems. I can't use a regular iron. Too much shoulder pain.)
5. Doesn't turn off automatically.
6. Hopefully is quieter than the one I have been using.

Any recommendations? or am I dreaming of the impossible?

Update on my quest...
I was unable to find a steam generator iron that meets the requirements I need, here in the United States.
I really enjoyed using my Rowenta Perfect Steam generator. It made wonderful steam, glided easily over yardage, was lightweight, stayed turned on the whole length of my sewing session, was easy to decalk, etc. What I didn't like was the fact that it makes a rather loud noise when it pumps water from the tank to the pressure chamber inside the generator, because my sewing room is right next to the bedroom of a family member who has stage 4 cancer, and I don't want to disturb him.

Some manufacturer should make one. The market is out there.

Rowenta makes a steam generator iron called Rowenta Silence Steam, that looks good, but it is manufactured for Europe with 220 wiring only. I wish they would make a 110 version.

The good news is that I had purchased my original steam generator on Amazon with an extended warranty. My generator quit 2 months before the warranty expired. Making a claim was easy. Great customer service. I was issued a refund within 24 hours of emailing my proofs of purchase.
