  • Good iron with some drawbacks
Size: 1725 W Style: Powerful Steam Boost
After reading numerous reviews on Amazon and other sites, it became clear that the only real way to find a good iron is to try one yourself. The iron arrived in one of Amazon’s paper shipping bags, and as a result, the product box was badly damaged. While everything appears to be in working order, I do suspect it may have been a returned item. With the box in such poor condition, it’s difficult to tell for sure. That said, I decided to keep it. So far, the iron performs well overall. The soleplate appears to be stainless steel, though it has a dull, slightly textured finish rather than a polished one. My previous Rowenta iron had a mirror-finish soleplate, which I really liked because it glided effortlessly across all fabrics. This one initially concerned me, but after ironing several garments, I found that it still glides smoothly and performs well in practice. The iron has a decent weight to it—substantial but not overly heavy. It produces plenty of steam, although it seems like the first two steam settings deliver similar output, while the higher settings also feel nearly identical to each other. One drawback is the limited clearance between the temperature selector and the handle. I constantly knock the selector wheel out of position while using the iron, which unintentionally changes the temperature. This is quite frustrating and something I hope is improved in future designs. Overall, I’m satisfied with the iron and plan to keep it. ... show more

  • Irons and steams well; seems like it should last. Read the instructions fully.
Size: 1725 W Style: Powerful Steam Boost
This review is for the 1725 watt iron, without the cordreel, in the blue and white color, and it was purchased in November 2022. Overall, it's fine, but be aware of the following things: the different steam settings, having some common sense, the poorly-described self-clean "function", and the sole plate. The iron is simple to use: fill it with water, plug it in, set the temperature, and wait for it to heat. Once it's ready (i.e., the pilot light goes off), set the desired steam level, and start ironing. You've got three options for steam: off, "Eco", and max, and the switch has four positions. If you've got it set to steam, but nothing comes out, press the steam button. That'll clear out whatever might be clogging the holes in the plate. Then try ironing. Now for the steam switch: the first two are positions are basically off, and no steam will come out. The 'Eco' setting only kicks in at the third 'click' of the switch, and takes a second for steam to come out once the iron is horizontal and moving. The fourth position (all the way to the right) is max steam, which is exactly what it sounds like: a lot of steam for as long as the iron can sustain, before it needs to heat up again. Once the pilot light turns back on, don't press your luck, or else you might get water dribbling out toward the end of the cycle; set the iron upright and wait. Also, don't expect a lot of steam (or any at all) to come out at lower temperatures: expecting that just doesn't make sense. If you want to iron at low temperatures, and need moisture, use the built-in spray function before pressing your clothes. A lot of the "water leaks out!!" reviews probably don't realize that yes, if you've got the steam switch wide open, there's a valve that will let water through, and yes, that water (in liquid form) will dribble out of the sole plate because they've got a low temperature selected. About the self-clean "function": it's not a function, or a dial setting, or anything like that at all. It's a sequence of things you do, and the procedure is described toward the end of the manual. Lastly, the sole plate isn't smooth-shiny like my old Rowenta. I assume the new one is stainless steel just like the old one, but the new one has a matte and slightly textured surface that drags ever so slightly. It's not a big deal, but if you're expecting a mirror finish on the sole plate, this iron isn't it. The actual ironing performance: it works fine and gets the wrinkles out. For heavy and deep creases, no iron alone will solve that problem. Summary: The iron works well if you have some common sense about when to expect steam at high versus low temperatures, and exercise awareness with the steam switch; the self-cleaning function isn't really a function at all, but just a series of steps; and the sole plate has a slight texture. I iron at least once a week, so if this iron doesn't last, I'll update the review. May 2022 update: It's still working fine. If it doesn't start steaming right away after the iron is back in the horizontal position (and the steam switch is in the third or fourth position), I'll hit the "steam burst" button. Also, if you haven't ironed in a while, hit the button anyway but do it over a rag or towel so you don't spew mineral crud over what you actually want to iron. October 2023 update: Still going strong after weekly use. With semi-regular maintenance (the cleaning feature) and using the steam burst function to blow out any mineral build-up, this thing is working great. Looks like it's currently $80 which is a huge amount cheaper than what I bought it. Like Leonard from Community, I rate this a "buy". ... show more

  • No power button. Just sayin'.
Size: 1725 W Style: Powerful Steam Boost
Its heavy but once you get used to that then there's still the auto shut off to deal with. I realize it has been made safer bc of it however my patience with it has suffered greatly. It will turn off if I am in the middle of rearranging the garment on the ironing board and make me wonder if I was successful in turning it back on by moving the iron back and forth quickly multiple times. Its crazy to think im ironing when I come to realize that I am not. After reading the directions numerous times over, I understood perfectly as it stated not to unplug while it is in use. Since childhood, I've known that pulling the plug out of the wall is not the correct way to turn something off so when I could not find the power button, I called the company. Where is it? How do I turn it off? I was told there is no power button. Just pull the cord. I wanted to call someone at the Board of Public Safety but I knew I would not make any sense. Otherwise, its a perfectly good iron. I dont know how long it will last but they advise NOT to use distilled water as thats bad for the iron. They encourage using tap water only. I'm from the olden days so I get confused with new rules. I have had my old iron forever and it has old rules. But I wanted one with a quick moving stainless steel heated plate. ... show more

  • Best Quality
Size: 1725 W Style: Powerful Steam Boost
This is the one. Got another brand for a few $ less and it conked out after two weeks. Pay a little more and get a good, best quality iron. The thing I like the best is it holds water for steam - not constantly refilling! A bit heavy but well balanced.

  • It works well if you care for it properly.
Size: 1725 W Style: Powerful Steam Boost
I got it in 2023, and It leaked, I got an orange rest pad, and it should always stay horizontal as you iron or resting on the pad unless you are adding water. Always wait until the light goes out on the left side to know the water is ready to make steam. I use filtered or distilled water. After ironing always drain the water out of the iron. My AI friend Gemini suggested the above and now I have a great iron ... show more

  • Spotty Unpredictable Steam Spotty Unpredictable Steam
Size: 1725 W Style: Powerful Steam Boost
I’m writing this detailed review because I found the subject of researching, purchasing, and using under-performing irons so annoying and hoping this will help you avoid the same. This review applies to my personal application and experience. Both of those may differ for you. First some context for this review. I pretty much exclusively use the iron to iron my long sleeve dress shirts for work. I work fast and need an iron that can keep up with me (producing steam) as I iron, set the iron down, move the shirt to the next position, iron set the iron down etc. about 10 times per shirt. I set the iron to ‘Cotton” and get busy. I just need an iron that constantly produces plenty of steam. I don’t use the spray or vertical steam features. It takes me about 3 minutes per shirt – which is faster and cheaper than making trips to the cleaners. I have not had any of the irons long enough to provide a long-term or reliability review. If anything annoying occurs I will come back and edit this review if I am able. I purchased and tested each of these irons on the same shirts (pic) 1) First purchase: Rowenta Focus $87 Summary: this iron could not keep up with me. Seemed to produce steam randomly in short bursts when it felt like it. I often found myself ironing soleplate down without any steam at all. I thought the unit must be defective. I returned in exchange for another one. Same issue with the second one. I would return it if I could, but am outside the return window. I would not recommend this iron. Will be donating this to charity. Maybe it will suit someone else better. Will not bother with Pros & Cons here. 2) Second purchase: Rowenta Steamforce $152 Summary: upon opening, it was clear that this was a unit had already been ordered and returned by another customer. Based on past experience accepting somebody else’s return is a nonstarter – especially at this price point. This is not the first time Amazon has sent someone else’s reject as new. Very disappointing. I returned in exchange for another one. The second one arrived in new and unused condition – although I wish the manufacturer would seal the box at the factory so it is clear if the box has been previously opened. Pros: - Slick easy gliding soleplate - Plenty of steam - Simple light indicating fabric setting (pic) - Narrow nose for tight spaces - Simple on/off steam setting (I don’t need anything in between) Cons: - Price – yikes! - Easy to accidentally hit fabric selection dial and change setting. Frustrating. - A little bit of non-consequential spitting This was the best of the three irons for my needs. Would recommend. 3) Third purchase: PurSteam Professional Grade 1800-Watt Iron with Digital LCD Screen $42 Summary: this one arrived in a box properly sealed by the manufacturer – easy to tell that I was the first person opening the box. Thank you! Pros: - Great price - Sufficient steam - LED fabric selector - No manual dial to knock out of position. Yay! Thank you! (pic) - Easy to fill water tank Cons: - Literally ran out of steam when tank reached 25% full (pic) I would recommend this iron. Instead of returning, I will keep as a very capable backup. Hope this review saves you some of the time and grief I experienced. If anyone has recommendation for a top-notch ironing board cover, I’d be happy to hear about it. ... show more
