RowentaSteam Force Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron for Clothes 400 Microsteam Holes 1800 Watts Ironing, Fabric Steamer, Garment Steamer, Digital Display, Precision Tip DW9440

Big fan of Rowenta irons. After my last one stopped working due to my negligence (dropped too many times), I bought another brand at the big box warehouse. Was ok but struggled to get linen or 100% cotton shirts nice and crisp. I could never really get jeans or canvas pants properly ironed. Finally decided I needed a new Rowenta. Only regret is not buying a replacement when I needed a new one. Heavy iron, big soleplate, tons of steam, gets very hot. This iron makes short work of all of my ironing. Jeans, canvas, linen, cotton are no longer an issue. They come out perfectly pressed . You get what you pay for.

I have always had good experiences with Rowenta irons. My last one I had for at least 8 years and I iron weekly. It did finally stop heating up. I figure that is quite a long life span.This new iron does great. Heats up quickly and it has a good weight to it. Not too heavy or too light. Holds plenty of water. The steam boost button is in a tricky spot for me. It’s right where you grip the handle but that’s not enough negative that I would return.The product description states it has a digital display, which this iron does not. But again, not a deterrent for me.I would but again.

Great iron. Professional. Lots of steam....

This iron does a nice job of pressing clothes. The tip gets into tight corners, and wrinkles are removed quickly. Unfortunately, the steam setting only works at the highest temperatures. It is easy to fill and heats quickly. It is fairly heavy and my wrist aches with use; the ergonomic design needs to be improved. The setting controls are adjacent to your fingers on the handle, and the heat setting is frequently knocked out of place. Very annoying.

This iron is the REAL DEAL!! After shopping at various stores including: Macy's, Target and Kohl's, this iron is made in France. The packaging was way more carefully constructed, insuring the iron to be properly protected. The irons I looked at in the specified stores were all made in China!! The packaging was not protective at all! I also ordered a Rowenta off Amazon shipped from Capitol Cookware. I immediately sent it back as it too was made in China. If you love the Rowenta brand, I highly recommend this iron from France! Sadly, I could not find one made in Germany.

UPDATE: I really blew it on this review, should have given it more time. I HATE this iron!! I have had it barely six months, and right out of the box it worked great. But six months in, I am throwing it in the trash to vow never to buy another Rowenta iron. The iron sits in my linen closet, has never been dropped, and here are the problems. It not only spits water all over the clothes, you can see by the photos. But it literally dumps water on the clothes. If I turn the steam off, the iron cools down and doesn't stay hot enough to iron. So BEWARE, it may work great out of the box, but give it time. I am purchasing a different brand, and won't even donate this one. I don't want anyone else to feel the same frustration, so in the trash it goes.This is my 3rd Rowenta Iron, and I love them. Yes, they are a bit heavier than other irons, but I prefer that. Some have said the water reservoir is small, I haven't noticed that. The iron heats quickly, steams well, and is heavy enough that I don't have to press down to get a nice clean garment. The water reservoir is fine, if I have a lot to iron I may have to refill it. But it isn't leaking, or spitting water, and I am very happy with this Rowenta iron.

I iron frequently and have had several Rowenta irons over the years. My last Rowenta (8260 I believe) started leaking after a few years of frequent use. I read a lot of reviews on Amazon and other sites and finally decided on this one. At first I wasn't sure I would be happy with my purchase and had to get used to the flat bottom stand. After having it for 3 months, I am happy to say it's the best Rowenta I ever owned. I love the blast of steam it puts out and it gets out wrinkles with ease. To prevent leaking, I am emptying the iron faithfully after each use. I am using purified water, not tap, not distilled and hope that too is a good decision.

This iron is huge and difficult to handle if you are on the small side. When ironing my hand hits the spray button, consequently, everything is constantly wet. The iron does emit a good amount of steam, however, the cord is very short and it really not easy to use. Would not buy again.
