Customer Reviews
Rowenta iron -- 2010-09-03
I was in the market to replace an older rowenta iron that had given us good service.
The specs on this model (DZ5080) appeared to be just the replacement that we needed.
Indeed, we are pleased with our purchase and it was priced reasonably.
Best Iron -- 2010-08-29
This is the best iron I have ever owned. It was the "recommend" model in Consumer Reports and they are not right on every recommendation but they are with this one.
Good till it isn't -- 2010-08-25
I had this iron--the latest of several different brands, all at least serviceable--for about a year, and ordered a Panasonic (Amazon 5-star) today. While Rowenta knows how to make an iron with excellent features, this one spits; has a fairly small water tank that needs more frequent refilling than others I've owned; and now it's leaking from the cord aperture, with increasing severity, to the point where yesterday it all but drained its tank on the ironing board and floor while in the correct, resting upright position. (I answered the door for five minutes.) It irons well, the weight is suitable, the steam and water-jet work very well (though you can't regulate the steam as variably as w/ some brands). I just can't trust it anymore, and it's too soon to have hit that point.
Xtra Powerful iron -- 2010-08-25
This iron is very good.
Possibly one the top five available for residential use. Its performance shies away few notches from the commercial grade ones with a gravity water tank .
This particular models has many holes and it is heavy enough to give a nice flat press at the first touch. It will cut the ironing by 50%.
It is a must have it if you sew and need to press seams or iron a lot of shirts and pants.
I'd would caution all those who are going to purchase it, to ONLY use distillate water. This will prolong the life and performance of your iron to infinity.
Because the number of holes on the plate and the higher wattage this iron uses a lot of water when on steam. Again, this is comparable to driving a Smart car VS a 8 cylinder Mercedes.
This iron can also be used as a steamer by simply getting it close to a garment while it is hanging. So it is excellent to revive a wedding gown, prom dress or special occasion gowns that cannot be ironed on a flat board.
A Rowenta will last you 10+ years. This European company makes very powerful, hi-performance, rugged irons with a European consumer in mind, since European consumers usually do much more ironing than the US ones.
However, this is my third Rowenta iron.
The first one lasted me 15 years and eventually I needed to upgrade it since the cord was overheating and the plate was too dirty for smooth ironing, because I ironed all sort of fabrics being very careless.
I bought my next one 5 years ago. I dropped it, and it cracked on the side, causing a water leakage that occurred when the iron was off. Other than that it worked fine. I bought this one by mistake, because I though the cracked one was broken (I had a faulty outlet in the house). Oh well! This new one is a nice addition.
Easier ironing -- 2010-08-20
My second Rowenta Iron and better than the old one---steams super and temperature control accurate.
