1 Star Barely used and broken
Always wants to auto shut itself off. now it barely gets warm. used it maybe 15 times over two years and its a $50 paperweight
3 Stars Irritating Steam/Dry Switch
I’ve been using this iron for about a year and it is still ironing fine. I use bottled water, as recommended if you have a water treatment system which uses salt – I wonder if the people who complain about brown water leaking did this? But my complaint is that the slide control which switches between dry, steam and self-clean keeps popping out of steam back to dry, and if you’re like me and are thinking about other things while ironing this is really annoying because you suddenly realise you’re not getting steam and haven’t been for at least half a shirt then see that the control has slipped to dry, again! I checked and, yes, mine was made in China too.
5 Stars Great iron Great price!
I have never had a bad experience with Rowenta. And you cant beat the price of this one. Yes you can get a cheaper iron, but it wouldnt be the same quality.
5 Stars Great Iron
I love this iron. Glides over the clothes easily with a lot of steam, and i don’t have any leaking problem. I could iron stuff with this Rowanta in half the time of the other iron(sunbeam) that I had.
4 Stars Getting the job done
With this iron the job gets done without major effort and in an efficient way. The weight of the iron is perfect and the steam is well controlled. I am a very satisfied customer and is the second Rowenta iron that I own.
