 Ironing not a chore anymore! July 16, 2008
Beth E. Settje (CT, USA)
After using the same iron I received as a shower gift over ten years ago I decided to upgrate. Wow, what a difference a better iron makes. Wrinkles disappear on the first swipe. Steam is everywhere. The iron just easily glides over the clothes. Cannot over-recommend Rowenta or this product, as it is just great. Worth the purchase.
 Great iron, if it only worked correctly May 28, 2008

This iron was a great product, even though I already had to replace the one I bought in December with this newer one. Now this one is doing the exact same thing - the auto-shut off button engages. Even though the iron is not sitting more than 15-20 seconds, just long enough to adjust the shirt or other item on the ironing board to continue ironing. We lose heat. We unplug it, it heats up again and shuts off promptly with the red light flashing. Unfortunately, I am going to buy a Black and Decker, GE, or whatever gives me longer than 3 months of service. I tried.
 Effective iron...just like it's name! February 9, 2008

I bought this iron (through Macy's) after using cheaper irons. This Rowenta iron is the best iron I've EVER used! It is worth paying a little extra for this iron. The steam works great and ironing is much quicker with it...I love it!

The iron has several drawbacks. The first two involve the retractable cord. The snap back of the cord has injured me and my kitchen cabinets because of the speed and the whiplash effect. The cord attachment angle is such that the cord falls under the bottom of the iron when placing it upright on the board. Thus, after ironing a section, an awkward twirl of the wrist is required to set the iron firmly on the board. Therefore, the retractable cord is neither safe nor ergonomically sound.
The second area of drawbacks is the shutoff feature. The iron shuts off after about 30 seconds whether the iron is upright or in its slanted holder attached to my board. To heat it again, I have to tilt it up and tilt it down and then wait for it to reheat. A time waster and also not good ergonomics.
The third area of drawbacks is the steam function. The iron steams only at the highest temperature setting and does not steam for very long. In order to produce steam again, the iron must shutoff and then turn on again.
I'm in the market for a new iron. Anyone know of a good one?
designed to malfunction? January 20, 2008

I decided to spend a little more on an iron that would last. I thought Rowenta had a good reputation. At first, I loved ironing with this iron. It made the chore of ironing easier and more fun. I've had it about a year now, and it has gone from spotty to extremely aggravating and consistently malfunctioning. After a few weeks it would unpredictably stop maintaining temperature, and got worse and worse over the year. I realized that the automatic shut off was being activated spontaneously, and nothing I could do would keep it hot. I even read the manual. I gave up and bought a black and decker.
