Rowenta Iron - Rowenta Professional Review Summary

The Roweta Iron is a professional iron that offers greater quality than the average iron and performs very much up to par with the price in the minds of most reviewers. The steaming action, the auto clean, and the auto shutoff are among many of the extra features that you get with the Roweta Iron and many reviewers feel these extras alone are reason enough to purchase this iron. Words of advice like “Quit Buying Cheap, Disposable Irons, This Will do the Job” offer support for this iron, but there are a few complaints like one reviewer who says “Loved it in the Beginning, Lost its Steam in the End”. Troubles with the cord are among the problems some have expressed with Roweta, but this professional device is still a very good Iron that does cost more, but generally delivers on its promises.

Okay, you heard about the demise of my Sunbeam Steam Master Iron, right?  Well, I typically would not think about going to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy an iron but I got a $100 gift card for my birthday and didn't know what else I would use it on so I set off to get a new iron.

First of all, this isn't...

As a child, I loved ironing.  I would starch all of my pants and shirts and would iron almost every night (for fun).  Clearly, I had problems.  My favorite 'departing for college' gift was an iron from my parents - just a nicer grade Black & Decker - nothing terribly fancy, but did the job and preformed...

Rowenta Professional and Advancer DZ9080 began as a brilliant design, hefty presser including a pinched tip for buttons and special pleats with ample steam vents to ease the work. Having paid my way through college by steam ironing the ROTC boys shirts and polishing their shoes for inspection, I qualify as a serious user of steam irons with VERY careful attention to not dropping or abusing them over the years and now. 

Within a month of purchasing the Rowenta the leaking of this Professional model brought me to exchange the iron for its replacement of the same professional model.

Now, after...

The Roweta Iron is a high quality iron that will be the last iron you'll need.  It's sturdy and effective and consistent from use to use.  I went through 3 $20 irons in 6 months before I just ponied up for this iron and I couldn't be happier that I did.  The steam works in less than 60 seconds after plugging it in.  The auto shut off works after a few minutes of being left stationary but this iron heats up so fast, it's not an issue because it will be hot again within seconds.  It has a great auto clean feature that keeps the starch buildup out of the pores.  It does get starch buildup quickly... read full review »

I decided to switch from my normal brand of irons and try the Rowenta Professional. I purchased the Rowenta Professional iron about 2 years ago thinking that it would be a good investment. I have since changed my mine about this product. I don't know if I am the only one that this happens to, but almost everytime I iron anything white, brown water leaks out of the iron all over my white clothes. Needless to say this does not make me a happy camper. Normally I only purchase Black and Decker irons and after my experience with the Rowenta, I have since gone back to only purchasing Black and Decker irons. ... read full review »

I have purchased 3 different models of Rowenta Steam Irons in the past.  They started out
working great, but each one of them lost their spray power and steam.  These aren't cheap irons and I expected them to last for years & years.  I've decied to buy less expensive irons that have the same features and will last the same amount of time.

my old iron was not very expensive and after using it for various craft projects, it was pretty much 'used up'.  i had heard of Rowenta and thought i would like to have one.  my brother gave me a rowenta professional iron a few years ago, and i love it!  i wanted an iron with a slick bottom (not teflon) because i knew that if i used it to fuse fabric, it would end up with 'sticky' on the sole plate and it would have to be cleaned.  i was afraid i would scratch the newer finishes; this one is perfect for me!  it has steam and a steamer ability, which is wonderful.  i think this iron has a...

I have a Rowenta Steam Iron and I love it.

It glides so easy over any material and the steam it produces will take out the worst of wrinkles, I highly endorse this product.

I have had other irons and they either clog up or just don't do the job, I would never go back to anything else.

I like my Rowentta iron.  I have used Black and Decker irons all my life.  I really enjoy ironing since I believe in ironing everything.  In 36 years of marriage. I have probably had six irons at least.  I had always wanted a rowentta iron but just could not bring myself to pay the price.  Well my last iron did not last by a few years.  It was not very good and it sure did not iron the clothes very well.  I looked at Rowentta irons and started reading reviews about them.  I decided on the model DZ9080.  The reviews said once I got use to the weight I would love it.  I love it, my ironing...

I iron all of my clothes and my husbands so I spend a lot of time ironing. I used to buy the cheapest iron I could find and would have to end up replacing it within 6 months. I read some reviews on the Rowenta irons and decided I would buy one. When I bought one I wanted to get a good one so I bought the Rowenta Professional. That was 5 years ago and I'm still using the same iron! Usually I would use starch on a lot of my shirts, but with the Rowenta I've reduced the need for starch by at least 50% because of the awesome steam it puts out. I can get the nicest crease in my husbands work slacks...

I own the Rowenta Effective and it helps me tremendously with my ironing piles.  The Rowenta will be the only brand I ever buy.  I iron alot for my family and it makes the clothes look marvelous.  It cuts down the amount of time needed to spend on each item because the iron works professionally.  I have recommended this product to friends and I even bought my girlfriend one for her birthday once, and she was thrilled.

The Rowenta irons are very solid and dependable. The steam feature works great! I do not like ironing but this product does such an outstanding job  that it makes it not seem like such a chore. It warms up fast and maintains the temperature that it is set at.

The Rowenta Professional iron has been a wonderful appliance. It heats quickly and the powerful steam burst works incredibly well after 4 years in my possession.  I do a lot of ironing weekly and truly enjoy the task because my Rownta makes it easy.

I love the auto shut off if I have forgtten to unplug.  The auto clean feature removes deposits from the iron.  I also like the power steam function for steaming clothes.

It is a must have in any home.

    I have bought two Rowenta irons and both have failed within a year of normal use. After a few months or about 200 uses these irons will simply stop working one day. My guess is that the power cord inside the iron failed. These irons still look brand new. Do not be fooled by any positive reviews of this item because I am sure they haven't owned one for more than 6 months.  DO NOT BUY A ROWENTA IRON.
