Review: Great Iron/Steamer - UPDATED REVIEW - DECEMBER 2022 I've had this item for 7 years now and it is still working fine - I've not had any issues with it - the pump makes a little louder noise now when it is pulling in water but otherwise this iron has continued for work fine for 7 years!! UPDATED REVIEW - JANUARY 2018 I've been using this iron for just over two years now - practically every day and it is still working great. I'm the type of person that irons my clothes just before I wear them - so I use this iron every single morning and it is a true joy to iron now - the steam and heat make easy work of even the most difficult wrinkles. I've had no issues with this iron in the two years I've used it. UPDATED REVIEW - AUGUST 2016 I've been using this steam iron daily for almost 9 months now and have not encountered any issues what so ever. It makes ironing fun and easy - I love the steam so much, makes quick work of tough ironing jobs, glad I made the investment in this product. UPDATE REVIEW - FEBRUARY 2016 I've been using this steam iron on a daily basis for almost two months now and it is working just fine for me - no issues what so ever. It continues to delight me and turns a chore into a joy. I'll update this review again in a few more months. ORIGINAL REVIEW - DECEMBER 2015 What a great iron/steamer - exactly what I wanted. First off - let me clarify that I am writing a review of the ROWENTA DG8520 - I've ready many reviews on this product page that reference other model numbers and I was confused but I want to confirm my info is related to the DG8520 Secondly - this item DOES have an on/off switch! Several people wrote that it does not - please see my photos or read the product manual to see that it does in fact have an on/off switch Lastly - the product is made in FRANCE - unlike many reviews saying it is made in China - the box clearly says made in France. Now - on to my other details. I bought this product after my sister showed me her hand held steamer (another product) that she really liked and it got me to thinking that I also wanted lots of steam but wanted a more traditional iron as well - this is where the ROWENTA DG8520 comes in - the best of both worlds. Having only used this product one day - but on several items it does what is says it does - makes short work of ironing and produces lots of steam unlike a regular iron. The larger water reservoir allows you to iron for extended time period - and you can fill the water tank without having to remove it from the base unit - just flip the lid up and pour. After flipping the power switch to ON the green light blinks while the water tank heats up and produces steam - once it stops blinking it's ready to go. While using the unit the water pump will turn on periodically as you use steam and it needs to draw in more water to the heating unit. The water pump sound is similar to that of a Keurig coffee machine if you are familiar with that sound - some people have said it is very loud - it's not that loud really - the sounds of the steam coming out of the unit is louder in my opinion - that whooshing sound. The dial on the iron controls the temp of the iron - I believe you can leave that turned off and just use steam if you are doing vertical steaming only. The one issue I have is the dial is a bit hard to grasp and turn as it is directly under the handle - it also is a bit hard to read due to its positioning - just a minor annoyance really. The trigger switch for the steam is in the handle and is easy to press to activate the steam. I have noticed some dripping from the iron - but that only seems to happen at initial start up/use and quickly stops - to be expected as we are talking about water vapor!! The base unit gets warm during using due to all the heating of the water. The cord is plenty long to allow you to use easily and move the iron around your ironing board - I have my base unit sitting on a side table right next to my ironing board. I find it interesting that you can place the hot iron on top of the base using and the silicone nubs that it sits on allow it to sit there while hot. Overall, on my short time period with this unit, I'm very happy with this item and it will make the chore of ironing a bit more fun.
Review: Ironman approved! - I'm one of those bizarre people who actually enjoys ironing. At least when I can use a quality iron that doesn't stain with brown spots randomly appearing like an evil fountain pen in your best shirt pocket, or run out of water needing to be refilled every five minutes. I opted for a Delonghi Pro1645, that I had for maybe 10 years based on reviews at the time and was relatively happy with it. It fit what I believed was required of a durable iron. It was heavy, no matter it's somewhat smallish footprint, and so retained heat. Several drawbacks I overlooked was that it had an insanely few amounts of steam holes on the soleplate so the steam was sort of a backup helper not the main ironing force. It required that I use heavy starch to get the job done as well, there was no way to see how much water was in the tank and it needed to cool down before opening up to add more. I always didn't stop filling in time and inevitably had a puddle to clean up after every topping off. The steam cord was also frustratingly short as well. But I thought I had the best that was out there. I've had this Rowena Steam system a month now, and I feel like I was living in the stone ages the last years of ironing! First of all, this is a proper Steam Iron with steam holes covering the entire soleplate. Second, the steam doesn't just ooze out like before but is exhaled with an impressive pressure to permeate whatever it is you're ironing, frequently eliminating the need to flip the piece over to iron both sides! Then there's the transparent tank that allows you to see at all times your water level, plus the ability of adding water on the fly without risk of being horrible scalded and disfigured for life! The steam hose is at least 50% longer than my previous iron which allows it to be so much more flexible and able to use with ease. The iron itself sits firmly upright on it's haunches while you reposition the garment on the board so it doesn't need to be put back on the silicone pad on the body each change of position. But it's literally redefined what ironing is to me. Steam has a compelling power over wrinkles and fabric so that the moist heat relaxes any fiber to release the wrinkles. I was accomplishing that with the moisture the starch supplied for years. But starch can gum things up and cause white flakes as well as shirts especially that felt more like wearing steel plated armor and not comfortable cotton. I completely stopped buying and using spray starch. Ironing a shirt takes a fraction of the time as before. Also, I don't worry about scorching anything since the steam pulse works so quickly that The iron doesn't need to stay in any spot more than a second. The cord is also extremely generous, I think it said somewhere it's 12 feet long. I don't use tap water, though it has a build in system to remove minerals. I opt for filtered water with my under sink system, to avoid any mineralization in the myriad holes and sole plate. The iron itself is comparatively remarkably light weight and I was afraid that would translate into not having enough metal to hold the heat. But the pressured steam pulse eliminates the need for a heavy dense metal iron. I already appreciated the power of steam, so have two steamers, the larger is a Jiffy Professional model that might be more for a costume designer or tailor, but I used to steam some clothing items as well. I have yet to power it up since I have this Rowena, since I can use it to steam even casual shirts on the board or even shoot steam on a garment hanging on my suit valet stand. This might seem overkill for your needs or too expensive. But even with my limited needs, I absolutely love this product. The iron itself is relatively light weight, though the tank has a substantial footprint. It heats up and is ready to go in just a few minutes. You can iron hours without needing to refill the water, but can refill on the fly, so no need to power down. The steam is incredible and extrudes over the entire soleplate with substantial clothes penetrating pressure. The steam cord is very generous in length as is the power cord. The iron sits upright very securely between passes while you reposition your garment. So far, I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this iron. Not to mention saving the cost of spray starch, which over the next two years will actually pay for the iron itself. I read all the reviews across websites and watched numerous videos from users and believe, especially if you have a large family or just require lots of ironed garments, I can't imagine any product doing a better job than this, made in France, Rowena. (A German company with obvious German efficiency, though many of their products are manufactured in the USA also.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***. on January 3, 2018*

I got this steam station after seeing the amazing price at INCREDIBLE LISTINGS on Amazon.ca. I did a bit of research on what the consumers said about the product and I was thrilled. I have no regrets whatsoever. I always wanted a serious iron but never opted for a system like this. So here is my review. I have other Rowenta products such and upright steamer and a travel steamer/iron. I am very pleased with both so the outcome of the quality of this item was not something that I questioned. When I received the item I was SUPER IMPRESSED that I got such a good deal for such quality item. Surely enough I put this baby to the test. I began with silk items which normally I find on cheaper irons with an all stainless steel plate tend to get dirty very easily. Not this machine! It glided well and the steam that it emits is very powerful and any creases vanish in seconds. You do not have to redo anything once it warms up this iron system delivers as a professionally ironed garment at the cleaners. Then I did sheets and here it delivered as well. I have not done anything heavy such as jeans yet but I plan to do so in the coming days which I will post. So far I have not checked the wattage for this machine but other reviewers said it was 1800 so it is heavy duty. It does have an ECO button which Rowenta says saves 20% of the energy. It is quiet portable and the iron locks onto the base from the front and back. The electrical cord unlike other more advanced models does NOT retract but has to be rolled up. I wish this iron came in a case. That would have been a plus for storage but that does not affect its performance. I have a home distiller which is a great thing to have when one needs to iron a large amount of garments. Story Short I am very impressed by this Item and totally thankful to INCREDBLE LISTINGS for having made it available at such a great price. Will certainly recommend it to anyone who wants some serious ironing system that delivers.
