Review #1: Pretty good

It works as advertised. However, I was expecting it to produce more steam than what I saw. It heats up fairly fast, all things considered. In the end, this is one heck of an iron.
Review #2: Rowenta Iron

I first used the Rowenta when visiting family in Switzerland. It was so marvelous that as soon as we returned to the US, I went on line and ordered it for myself. It makes ironing unbelieveably easy. It's still not fun to iron, but now it's not the chore it was before I used the Rowenta. Everyone should use one.
Review #3: Incredible!!!!

Oh, how have I lived all these years without one of these!!! Literally. This thing is a dream and saves me so much time. The first time I used it, yesterday, I did three hours ironing in 30 minutes. And the clothes aren't fried. I'm still flabbergasted. The secret is to be as "scientific" as they are about the 33 ounces. And when that water is gone, they probably expect your ironing to be done too. I did have to reload once. I thought it would be a dog to handle with the weight of the cord: that is the easiest part. Not a problem. If you iron, must iron, or love to iron, get this beauty. I think my five hour ironing days are over. Thank you Rowenta.

I researched steam irons on the internet to find what I hoped would be an answer to my needs and found it with the Rowenta Steam generator iron! It's very efficient on my Levis and my silk or cotton shirts. With the generous steam feature I can iron a pair of jeans in about 3-5 minutes and really put a crease in them. It is a breeze to do my shirts with too, all the way from the casual to the cotton dress shirts!

Review #5: How Did I Live Without This For So Long?
2007-08-05
I just got this and immediately tried it out on 2 very wrinkled cotton and rayon blouses. It worked fantastic! It only took a few minutes to heat up. After pressing the steam button to get it going (no splatters or water drops), it only took a few minutes to iron each shirt. Cut through the wrinkles like butter! It even steamed out wrinkles in the vertical position!
It also worked great ironing out a 3 yard fabric. I sew a lot and the steam ironed out the creases in the folded fabric with no effort whatsoever (these can be very hard to get out). I like the way I can control the amount of steam by how long I press the steam button.
I have a larger ironing board that has a silicone iron holder (not a Rowenta). It's large enough so that the Rowenta DG5030 can rest right on top of it. Although the unit isn't that heavy, even when filled with water, be careful with it on a lighter ironing board. It doesn't have an automatic shut-off, which is perfect for my sewing. Just need to remember to turn it off!
The only thing I wish it had was a water level indicator or a see-thru tank. But I think I can tell when the water is running low. The steam starts to sputter a bit (no dripping).
I am so glad I finally decided to get this and it will definitely make ironing and sewing much easier!! |
