Huge fan of Rowenta. I eventually want to get the pro that has the huge water reservoir as this one for the type of long dresses Miron has to constantly be refilled. It has great steam power and love that the cord winds up into the iron. It auto shuts off which is nice when I get sidetracked and walk away. I have not had any leak except when I overfill the water. It is a standard weight of a quality and durable iron.

If you haven’t owned a Rowenta iron, then you owe it to yourself to get one. I’ve owned three over the last decade and they almost make ironing enjoyable. My other Rowenta got dropped after 5-6 years and didn’t make it. Which is totally understandable considering it was a 3 foot drop onto concrete. 😲 You certainly won’t want to use an inferior iron after this one. Somehow, they manage to steam evenly and also have enough weight to press most wrinkles out easily. It has a retractable cord, which makes it easy to stow. Definitely a huge leap above your average iron. Heats up fast too.

I had a Rowenta and after several years it finally stopped working. I purchased another brand of iron and that was a mistake. It didn't work very well and had it's own issues. I came back to the Rowenta as I have learned they make a very good product. One feature I really like is I can easily see if I need water in the iron. Also, the cord goes back into the iron without any issue. Does a great job ironing family clothes and I will continue to buy Rowenta.

I bought this to replace an older Rowenta iron, so I had some expectations. First, it has a retractable cord, which I love. My old one had a retractable cord, so that's a requirement for me. There is no going back. The cord seems lighter duty than my old iron, but I notice that with a lot of newer electronics. I couldn't figure out how to turn it on. Seriously. I figured out that I had to keep turning the dial until the lights came on and line up the setting with the triangle located beneath the dial until the iron turned on. Easier said than done, honestly, because the dial is tucked under the handle. It's a little hard to move, but it's brand new. Maybe it's a little tight. You can't easily see what setting you have chosen, but the LED selection is in front of you, so that's good. My old iron had more clearance and the dial was completely visible. Fortunately I have small hands and fingers. I also plugged in and unplugged the iron vs turning the dial on and off, but apparently you are not supposed to do that. On my old iron, I could adjust how much steam I wanted by moving a selector switch. This iron does not have such a switch. That seems weird to me. So if I'm ironing wool pants, the iron controls the steam and I can add extra bursts if I want to. The actual ironing is beautiful. I had dress pants that I had machine washed and air dried, so they had modest wrinkles. I set to Wool and wrinkles came out very quickly. It seems like it has a large water tank, but also uses water quickly. I don't iron often, so it's not a big deal to me. I will have to remember to empty unused water, per the manual. I never thought about it previously. Overall, love it. It's what I expected. The dial placement is my only complaint.

I took my time, waited until I had put it through its paces and only then did I decide to write this review. Over the years I’ve owned a lot of irons and none of them have been particularly good. They’ve all done their job, but that’s about it. This Rowenta, however is a standout. It’s on the heavy side definitely but the weight is there for a reason. When you press down on something, you don’t need to use your body to make a crease, or flatten the surface. When you push the steam button, it’s not a little puff steam, it’s a big big cloud of steam like you’d see from a commercial steam press. On top of that, the iron face itself is not fancy no stick surfaces. It doesn’t need that! It’s designed for real work on the ironing board. It holds heat, does its job, does it properly, and doesn’t let you down at any time in the process. It has a long cord that won’t run short when you need length. It holds enough water to keep you going through a lot of clothing, and it’s got settings from delicate all the way up through linen. From what I’ve experienced so far each setting is accurate. It even has a silk setting! I’m two months short of 69 years old and I’ve been ironing my own clothing since I went into the army when I was 18 years old. If you’re looking for an iron that is going to last for years to come, do everything you wanted to do, and never let you down. This is the one you want. And by the way, if you’re curious where Rowanta is made, it’s a German company. You’re paying for the best iron made. I highly recommend this, I use it every week and they expect to be using this iron to be passed on to my kids! Yes… it’s really that good.

I gave this iron 5 stars because the iron has auto shut off, retractable cord, so far no leakage while ironing. The iron heats up very quickly, it is a little heavier than most irons but it is great on the various settings and clothing.

Our last iron was a Rowenta. It lasted 12 years. We knew when it was time to replace it, we would be buying another. This one is just as heavy which helps to steam out wrinkles. Ironing doesn’t even seem like a chore due to the ease of use and functionality.

The iron is very easy to maneuver, has the weight that I want and a pointed end that works well on pants. There seems to be a dead space to turn it on but that just takes a few extra turns to get the dial to the desired setting. It has the standard safety features and the cost is very reasonable.

Made in China. Although I searched Amazon for Rowentha made in Germany and it did return this model and although other info on the internet indicated that this high end model was still manufactured in Germany, it is manufactured in China. It does the work but definitely not as good with steam as my previous iron.

Don't order it if you live on the Continent. Voltage not suitable and complicated to get a refund.

This is a fairly good iron. I thought it would be heavier, so that it would iron the more difficult sheets etc.
