1600W PWR Steam Iron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)VERY BAD IRON.
Never buy an iron with a moveable cord attached to the iron.
My Rowenta started shorting out about 3 months ago.
Had to move the cord, and getting worse.
It is now going in file 13. My other Black and Decker works great.
NO MOVEABLE POWER CORD.
So, I bought another one since I travel and work in another location.

Rowenta DX-8800 1500-Watt Professional Steam Iron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got his after my old Rowenta of 15 plus years went kaput.
This one glides like magic and has a big covered reservoir so you won't have to constantly refill it. The ergonomic grip is great.
Love it, love it, love it!

Rowenta DX8900 Professional Iron with No Auto Shut-Off Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a professional seamstress, handweaver and I iron fabric off and on all day, every day, five days a week.
I have bought many irons in my 30 years in business. And have paid large sums of money for some of them.
This iron is the best all around iron on the market today. I don't say that lightly either. It does pull more power with it's heavy duty electric cord, I expect my electric bill will go up slightly now that I use this exclusively on my fabrics..... But the finished product is so much nicer and I get the professional finish I want to have on my handwovens. The added cost is worth the finished product.

Rowenta Powerglide 2 Iron DX1700 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Iron has worked okay for me, except for the power cord.
LESSON LEARNED. NEVER BUY AN IRON IF THE ELECTRIC CABLE IS NOT FIXED.
I don't know why I bought an iron with a moveable cord.
Thinking back now, I never saw a problem with a fixed cord.
Maybe just thought it was cool.
Like other products, engineers design something but don't think long-term.
For last couple months, this iron has been shorting out.
Moving the plug around temporarily resolved the problem.
Working less often, though.
I read on the internet about someone drilling out the difficult screw heads, and fixing the wiring.
Sorry, but I am not going to take it apart, fix it, and put it back together with tape.
IT IS GOING IN FILE 13. Ended up buying a Black and Decker like the other one I have.
Do traveling, so I need more than one iron.

Rowenta Soleplate Cleaner Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the "kit", two cheap cloths and a very small tube of cream. This is supposed to be a repeat process done on a hot iron and it is a slow process that leaves a lot behind. It may work but you would have to be very patient and still it may leave some burn traces behind.
The simple alternative, get a small tube or bottle of FLITZ METAL POLISH and your iron's stainless steel sole will be clean in under 2 minutes. A German invention Flitz has been around for years and is inexpensive and available from your local hardware store or from old reliable Amazon.com.

Haan GS30 Professional Garment Steamer with Attachments Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Haan Steamer works great, but it will not save you ironing time. It heats up right away and does work well. It does save you from burning your clothes especially light materials. It will take time to get use to using it so, if you buy this product be patient. Like I said, it works great but did not save me time in removing Wrinkles.

Rowenta DG5030 Pressure Iron and Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I replaced my old Rowenta (blue tank) with the new model and found it to be less than satisfactory due to: excessive water spotting on fabrics at any temperature/steam combination of settings and the fact that the water level in the tank is not visible; instruction booklet states that the water level might affect the spotting issues; however, if the water level is not visible, this is moot. I have contacted Rowenta who informed me they were "aware" of the spotting and water tank problems and that my comments would be "duly noted." Considering the cost of this iron and Rowenta's reputation for quality products, I feel that prospective customers should be aware of these problems before purchasing.

Rowenta DG8030 Expert Steam Generator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Steam generator irons are very common in Europe (where I am from originally) and buyers are provided with extra information that to my mind makes a huge difference in the purchasing decision. In the United States, however, few models exist and compete on the market and this data may not be so helpful as there is not much choice besides the Rowenta line (of 2). I suspect consumers iron less in this country and make more use of cleaners' services. However, I thought I'd share the information I found for the benefit of European buyers, more sophisticated buyers or more thorough minded buyers.
Rowenta was kind enough to give me the information I was looking for after some inquiry with their technical department. Here it is: the steam pressure is 4 bars (pretty good) and the continuous steam flow is 90g/min (so so for steam generators). I was not given data for the steam boost output which is important for a deep crease removal. The heating time at start is 3 min. The machine does not have auto-calc cleaning.
Top of the range pressure ironing systems in Europe now have 5 bars of steam pressure for fast ironing (pressurised steam penetrates deep into fabrics making ironing fast and easy, even on difficult fabrics) and at least 120g/min of continuous steam output for fast crease removal. Steam boost blast is around or above 170g/min. Heating time is 2 minutes and the system has an auto cleaning program for calc. deposits.
To my mind, this Rowenta product performance criteria are in line with its price. I am very seriously considering purchasing it.
I hope this is useful. Happy ironing :-)

Rowenta DX1900 Effective Cord Reel Iron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's great, if it works!!! After keep exchanging it over and over, I gave up the 5th time. First time, spray didn't work, second time, power steam button didn't release the steam, third time, it was too strong fabric got stock underneath the iron and I couldn't clean the iron, fourth time, steam problem again, fifth time, steam problem again. Poorly tested product. I would've been really happy to keep it, if it was working properly. It actually had all the features I was looking for. Too bad for Rowenta for not testing their products properly.

Oliso TG-1600 Smart Iron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this iron last week and was able to spend a full 12 hours (on and off) ironing with it recently. On one occasion during my marathon ironing session, I did have some water come out of the iron, but it was when I overfilled the water tank and was ironing forcefully and rapidly. It didn't leak from the steam vents, it appeared to splash a drop of water from above, and it wasn't a shocker to me. My GE iron used to soak my clothes out of the steam holes, every ironing session, so I know what 'spitting' is, and this iron definitely does not 'spit'.
I bought this model because as a quilter, I wanted an iron with an auto shut off, but I wanted an extended shut off time (the other models turn off a lot more quickly than this one). I love how fast this iron heats up. As for actual ironing--it does a very nice job---no better than any other iron would...every iron is simply a hot metal plate that presses out wrinkles..it's not rocket science...it's all about the bells and whistles, and this one is, by far, the most unique iron on the market today with the loudest bells and whistles.
I ironed over buttons, snaps, used spray starch and Mary Ellen's best press, I steamed, I sprayed, I turned it off and on. I had a little film on the soleplate when I was done (having used almost a full can of spray starch and a quarter bottle of Best Press) and it wiped right off with a Clorox wipe (which I also used to wipe off the spray starch residue from it's colorful plastic body). It was easy to add water to, and it was even easier to empty the water from the tank when I was done. I was ironing in a tight space, and as many times as I bumped into the ironing board squeezing past, not once did the iron fall off onto the floor. It took me no more than 2 shirts to stop trying to stand it on it's side and get with the 'Smart Iron' program.
I considered a Rowenta, but I read plenty of unsatisfied reviews from Rowenta users. Just as I read a few snarky reviews on this one. No matter the brand, there will be haters out there, just as there will be lovers. It's a small appliance, it's not a lifelong commitment. If it stabs me in the back a month down the road, I'll sell it at a yard sale or on eBay and move on to the next , but for now, ironing is fun.

A steam iron that levitates? And does push-ups? Absolutely. From the company that believes in making the mundane fun--as well as state-of-the-art--comes the Smart Iron steam/dry iron series. Featuring patented iTouch auto-lift technology, every iron is equipped with digital sensors that recognize the touch of your hand and lower the iron to the fabric, then lift it when you let go. That means a couple of things: no more repetitive lifting to an upright position, no more accidental burns, and no more fear of tipping. Starting to see the �smart� part? The iron also has an award-winning automatic shut-off feature that's timed for different events: 30 seconds if knocked over; 3 minutes if left horizontal with iTouch over-ridden; and, in the case of this TG-1600 model, 30 minutes if not lifted or left on its heel.
Additional features include easy-to-use selector controls, deep penetrating heat for one-pass pressing, and vertical, horizontal, and continuous steaming options with an anti-drip system. Designed for quilters and sewers, the TG-1600 has a pointed sculptured tip for narrow spots, roomy 2-inch detailers, and a super-flat Pro-Press soleplate with a durable, scratch-resistant beadblast chromium finish and rolled edge for smooth sailing across any fabric. It is also equipped with 1800 watts of power, a 12-foot cord with 360 degree pivoting, and an extra-large 12.7-ounce side-load tank with a built-in funnel. One-year warranty.

Rowenta DA1560 Classic 1000-Watt Compact Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Rowenta Travel Iron DA1560 purchased on Nov. 16th 2009
Good Points:
1. It is very compact and lightweight. Easy on the wrists. Easy to empty.
2. It has the vertical steam feature.
3. It has dual voltage for foreign travel 120v / 240v.
4. Comes with its own zippered durable storage pouch.Bad Points:
1. It has a microsteam stainless steel sole plate of 200-holes instead of 400-holes. Its tiny "burst of steam" is nowhere near the power of the locomotive, full-sized professional Rowena iron. It never pressed my cotton clothes well.
2. No 360 degree cord rotation. Always awkward ironing.
3. No spray mist feature. Bring your own spray bottle.
4. Small 2 oz. water reservoir means refill often. Good for two shirts.
5. Yikes! No automatic safety shut off.
6. Heating unit died before warranty ended. Short life span, less than a year.
7. Made in China, not Germany.
