Rowenta Steamium Professional Steam Iron - DW9080

Comments about Rowenta Steamium Professional Steam Iron:

This is my first Rowenta iron. After only a few weeks, I am a believer! I have no more leaking, spitting and blots of water on my clothes, just wonderfully smooth fabrics that look their best.

This is a superior iron. It does tend to keep me at the task, as it cuts off after a very short time of non-use. I have to turn it on again if I take even a short break! But that conserves energy, so it's not really a problem.

My old Rowenta bit the dust....and I did not hesitate a second to purchase another! I did call ABT to make sure the model I bought was made in Germany [*].Very helpful customer service rep. The review was better for the more powerful one made in Germany. I'm a happy ironer as I tackle the mountain of clothes! PS, Super fast shipping! Great service!

Comments about Rowenta Steamium Professional Steam Iron:

I read some reviews that did not give this iron a top rating and I hesitated ordering it for a time. Ended up buying it anyway because it just looked great and I owned a Rowenta before and loved it. Well, this iron is absolutely wonderful to use. I have not had any problems with it leaking water or leaving water spots. The very first time I used it some tiny, dry, white flakes came out of the steam vents onto the fabric but they brushed right off and did not have that happen again. Don't know if it was something that happened because the iron had never been used and it was some type of "residue" that was trapped inside or if it was the tap water I used. I think the water is a bit hard where I live, so I switched to plain bottled drinking water. I love the narrow pointed tip on the iron for getting into and around small areas. The weight does not bother me at all, even though I do have some problems with pain in my wrist and elbow joints. The weight of the iron makes it easier getting a smooth finish without using your own strength to push the iron down. It is easy to read the temperature settings and the extra steam feature is great. Not that it's really important, but it is also a very pretty iron!
