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

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.

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.

So far so good with this one. I have gone through several Rowenta irons over the years, and was always disappointed by them failing all too soon. Hoping for better results with this one.

The iron works well. However, I don't know what possessed whoever designed this iron to make such a big spray button. It leaves less room on the handle and I invariably end up spraying just because I don't have enough room to grasp the handle.

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.

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’ve been very happy with this iron. I am a hobby garment sewist who works with lots of natural fibers and this iron does very well with them.

This was my third Rowenta steam iron and I guess when I got the first one 20 or so years ago they were best irons available. When I bought this one, I couldn't believe how much heavier it was compared to the one I was replacing (the second one). I had to replace the second one because after I cleaned it - going by the product instructions - it was never the same. It leaked, spit, and shrieked every time I pressed the burst of steam button. So then I bought this one (the third one) and all I had to do was lift it out of the box to know it was too heavy. So decided to return it and get another brand. I bought a CHI steam iron on Amazon that was top-rated by Wirecutter. The first time I used the CHI I couldn't believe how much better it was - lighter and the steam setting alone (no burst of steam) is so good you don't need to add the burst. And it was 30-40 dollars less than the Rowenta, depending on where you get it.
