Iron Steamer for Clothes, Focus Stainless Steel Soleplate, 400 Microsteam Holes, Powerful Steam Iron, Lightweight, Leakproof, 1725 Watts

This Rowenta iron heats up fast and delivers strong, consistent steam that easily removes tough wrinkles. The stainless steel soleplate glides smoothly, and the microsteam holes really make a difference. I also love the retractable cord and clear LED display. Solid, high-quality iron that makes ironing quicker and easier.

Rowenta did a great job with their packaging for environmentally conscious consumers like myself. The iron does have some weight on it, just over 3lbs, but it was still very comfortable when I used it. The weight is essential for heavier fabrics. The stainless steel Soleplate looked flawless. The iron was tested for leaking and so far No leaking whatsoever after testing it myself after filling the tank just below the MAX line. Instructions were easy to follow. I set the setting to desired setting, in my case, I was ironing 100% linen sheets. I glided the iron on the fabric and used the steam Boost button on stubborn wrinkles. It left incredible results, minimal to no wrinkles on the fabric. No leaking during or after. The iron seems of good quality overall, wish there was no plastic components, but not a deal breaker. Value for money will depend on how it performs in the next several months and years. Cleanup was easy, instructions recommend letting the iron cool completely before emptying any water left inside the tank, and store upright. I plan to test the iron for the next several months on different fabrics and update of any changes if any.

This review is for the 1725 watt iron, without the cordreel, in the blue and white color, and it was purchased in November 2022. Overall, it's fine, but be aware of the following things: the different steam settings, having some common sense, the poorly-described self-clean "function", and the sole plate. The iron is simple to use: fill it with water, plug it in, set the temperature, and wait for it to heat. Once it's ready (i.e., the pilot light goes off), set the desired steam level, and start ironing. You've got three options for steam: off, "Eco", and max, and the switch has four positions. If you've got it set to steam, but nothing comes out, press the steam button. That'll clear out whatever might be clogging the holes in the plate. Then try ironing. Now for the steam switch: the first two are positions are basically off, and no steam will come out. The 'Eco' setting only kicks in at the third 'click' of the switch, and takes a second for steam to come out once the iron is horizontal and moving. The fourth position (all the way to the right) is max steam, which is exactly what it sounds like: a lot of steam for as long as the iron can sustain, before it needs to heat up again. Once the pilot light turns back on, don't press your luck, or else you might get water dribbling out toward the end of the cycle; set the iron upright and wait. Also, don't expect a lot of steam (or any at all) to come out at lower temperatures: expecting that just doesn't make sense. If you want to iron at low temperatures, and need moisture, use the built-in spray function before pressing your clothes. A lot of the "water leaks out!!" reviews probably don't realize that yes, if you've got the steam switch wide open, there's a valve that will let water through, and yes, that water (in liquid form) will dribble out of the sole plate because they've got a low temperature selected. About the self-clean "function": it's not a function, or a dial setting, or anything like that at all. It's a sequence of things you do, and the procedure is described toward the end of the manual. Lastly, the sole plate isn't smooth-shiny like my old Rowenta. I assume the new one is stainless steel just like the old one, but the new one has a matte and slightly textured surface that drags ever so slightly. It's not a big deal, but if you're expecting a mirror finish on the sole plate, this iron isn't it. The actual ironing performance: it works fine and gets the wrinkles out. For heavy and deep creases, no iron alone will solve that problem. Summary: The iron works well if you have some common sense about when to expect steam at high versus low temperatures, and exercise awareness with the steam switch; the self-cleaning function isn't really a function at all, but just a series of steps; and the sole plate has a slight texture. I iron at least once a week, so if this iron doesn't last, I'll update the review. May 2022 update: It's still working fine. If it doesn't start steaming right away after the iron is back in the horizontal position (and the steam switch is in the third or fourth position), I'll hit the "steam burst" button. Also, if you haven't ironed in a while, hit the button anyway but do it over a rag or towel so you don't spew mineral crud over what you actually want to iron. October 2023 update: Still going strong after weekly use. With semi-regular maintenance (the cleaning feature) and using the steam burst function to blow out any mineral build-up, this thing is working great. Looks like it's currently $80 which is a huge amount cheaper than what I bought it. Like Leonard from Community, I rate this a "buy".

This is a nice iron w/ acceptable functions and features. It heats up quickly. The plate guides nicely across the fabric. The spring loaded cord storage works well. The water storage capacity is fine. I really like the idle steam level and the button-actuated pump steam augmentation. That button permits partial depression for exactly the correct amount of additional steam. The illuminated temperature display is very nice. My ironing board has a metal rack to safely hold a horizontal hot iron, but this iron goes to sleep quickly when horizontal, so that feature isn't great for my usage. I had been using that rack often previously w/ my other iron. This is recommended.

Excellent iron. Great amount of steam. Heats up fast. Make sure that you run the iron on the ironing board for when starting to iron after it heats up as the excess steam at the start may burn/stain your outfit. Once this is done, the iron is brilliant.

This was terrible regarding info. Turned out it’s from America and not compatible for UK. I had an adapter hoping it would be ok and sadly it fused so could not return. I re-read info and no where did it warn it was non compatible voltage so very disappointed don’t buy if ordering from uk as completely shocked no warning was given and why was it sent from that location when not compatible for UK use. Extremely disappointed and the lost of money distressing

Don't order it if you live on the Continent. Voltage not suitable and complicated to get a refund.

Probably the best iron on the market . I love cotton bedding but it is fiendishly hard to get the creases out , this iron smooth glides over cotton and really gets deep creases out . Marvellous. I also like a heavy iron in my hand , if you are elderly , maybe this iron would be a bit sturdy for you , I know my elderly mother would say it is too heavy for her , especially if you are doing a marathon family iron . I love it and give it 5* .

Llego en tiempo y es un buen producto
