Review: A very good iron - I read many reviews on this iron and I think they have upgraded this model. First, the temperature dial is not that easy to move so brushing your hand on it when picking it up will not move the dial. My iron did not leak at all. I filled it to the MAX level and turned it on. It did not leak before it heated up or while it was hot. I even put the iron horizontal and there was no leaking. The steam function worked fine. The instructions were very informative with pictures. The wool setting of two dots (eco) will not steam unless the steam setting switch is also on eco. Then a smaller amount of steam is produced. It says that in the instructions. The auto off is on when the auto off red light on top of the handle is flashing. When that red light is not flashing the auto off feature is not on and the iron is working on the setting you have it on. To reactivate the iron from being off you just move the iron horizontally back and forth a couple times and it comes back on. The light that is very hard to find and see is the "Pilot" light. The one that tells you the iron is heating up. It is located on the left side bottom of the handle and it is sort of back under the center of the iron and it is a very faint orange. In order to see it you have to look for it and tip the iron a bit to see it. It is on only when the iron is heating up. The instructions say not to iron until that light goes off. This iron's spray and burst buttons worked fine. This iron steam presses very nicely on a flat wool ironing pad. I have not tried the vertical steaming because I don't have any clothes or items to vertically press. I sew and quilt and I use an iron for my sewing projects. So I use the highest cotton setting when I iron and this does great on that setting. It does glide over fabrics very well. I did not time the time it took to heat up. But I would guess it got to the cotton setting in a minute or two. It is an expensive iron but it has a lot of nice features like how the cord is attached to the iron on a pivoting ball to help the cord stay out of the way. The cord is about 7.5 feet long. The iron is not too heavy and not too light. It does have the calcium cleaner on it for easy cleaning of the iron. It pressed serious creases in fabric that was folded many times so it was 12 layers of fabric. Ironed it flat with the cotton setting and burst of steam. So far I like this iron. :)
Review: It works!!! - I iron all kinds of albs and priest vestments which are made of materials that you have to iron hot and lots of steam to have nice creases . I had a Rowenta professional iron that lasted me over 20 years. However I did not allow anyone else to use my iron in my studio, one good reason ? anything lasts longer when one person uses it. So, I found myself having to replace my iron the old and faithful stopped working . I was trying to be frugal and not spend over $150 for another iron since there are so many out there. I did purchase five not all at the same time all different brands and they were horrible so I bit the bullet and I got another Rowenta. this particular model wasn’t the most expensive but it had everything that I needed. I particularly do not like the automatic shut off. I guess ill have to deal with that. Everything else is really good. Easy to use. Water does not drip and or leak out all over the items being ironed. Thats another pet peeve of mine. The tank does not last as long as I need it too, nothing I cant get use to. Over all it’s a good iron. Clean, glides smoothly over fabrics . Love the narrow front for small corners that never get ironed . I don’t like the electronic buttons . However , I will adjust. The iron Gets nice and hot, plenty of bursts of steam when you need it… i loved my older version. Im hoping this one , in this day an age will last just as long .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rowenta is the standard for irons
*by B***E on April 29, 2024*

Love my new Rowenta! I had a different Rowenta model (now discontinued) for years and just recently started to leak. I use my iron every day under heavy usage. I do use the steam function rather than a water bottle. Any model of any brand iron will begin to leak at some point if you use the reservoir for the steam function, why, I have not clue, but they do. I do not consider my old Rowenta showing leakage as a fault of design. Again, I use my iron daily under heavy usage. I am a sewist and sew up to 12 hours a day. I am now using my old Rowenta as my household iron. When I was searching for a new iron, I did admittingly stray and tried the Oliso. My sister has had her Oliso for years, loves it and has never had any issues. So thought would give it a try as it is marketed specifically for sewists. Had it for exactly 30 days and it literally stopped working. Right in the middle of me ironing my quilt top; I set the iron on the silicone pad, it raised, I moved the top to the next section to be ironed, grabbed the iron and the feet didn't move. It had completely shut off. Unplugged it and waited quite some time, plugged it back in, nothing. Did that several times, even the next day. Nothing. Not to mention several other functions were disappointingly subpar considering the price tag. Immediately returned it. Will never stray again! Love the weight of this iron, even when the reservoir is empty. The reservoir holds quite a bit of water. I can see the water level just fine and I have to wear reading glasses when sewing. We have hard water so I do use distilled water. The soleplate glides like a skater on ice. The amount of steam is ka-pow-pow. I love the size of the steam/spray buttons. The selection dial is well-marked. I know some people have complained about the dial being easily turned while ironing. I find this confusing - you literally have to let your fingers fall from the handle and make an effort to turn the dial while ironing. I love the ball cord pivot so the backend does not fishtail from the cord being pulled. The auto-off function is nice and only takes a couple seconds to get back to temp when moving the iron to a horizontal position. And to top it off, I really like the color! There only a couple cons I can think of. The precision tip on this model is a little blunt compared to my old model. Still works great for my usage though. The indicator light to let you know the iron is warming up is a deep orange. I wish it was red or another color. During the day, it is almost impossible to see the indicator light; however, when the iron gets to temp, it makes an audible click so even if there wasn't an indicator light, the iron clicking tells you it's ready to go. I find these to be minor cons. Rowenta has been a long-standing trusted name in irons for over 100 years and for very good reason. Rowenta irons are worth every penny. I will only purchase Rowenta irons from now on. I know I sound like an infomercial but it is true. Solid name, solid iron, many years of reliable usage and great results.
