Probably the best iron on the market . I love cotton bedding but it is fiendishly hard to get the creases out , this iron smooth glides over cotton and really gets deep creases out . Marvellous. I also like a heavy iron in my hand , if you are elderly , maybe this iron would be a bit sturdy for you , I know my elderly mother would say it is too heavy for her , especially if you are doing a marathon family iron . I love it and give it 5* .

Should not be on sale in the United Kingdom. May be Amazon should be prosecuted for selling something unfit for use in the UK.

Disappointed with plug

This is a good iron but came with a USA plug which was not on the description so annoying I couldn’t use it straight away and had to order plug adapter. The other thing is it gets a lot hotter than other irons which is good in some ways but not so good sometimes if it burns fabrics and you have to clean the base more often than usual. However, the worst is that just a few days before the year is up, it has just suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason and we can’t see why. I want a refund but there is no way to request one as it says the return window closed 23rd April! No good and I see other reviewers say their Rowenta irons didn’t last long either. This is very bad. Can anyone tell me how to complain to Amazon?

This iron has made a crackling noise from new . It has now stopped warming up and has exploded while I was ironing nevervreally trusted it

Clear instructions were not there that we can use in UK. Since the plug 🔌 is different from UK . Tried with compatible adapter, works for 10 -15 mins and goes off looking for the right cable for UK it would be great if the seller can suggest.

I was disappointed with this iron paid a lot money it only as a 2 pin plug and can't understand the information wouldn't recommend

So this is a nice looking iron this particular iron I feel should not be sold in the UK it's only 120 volt ( 240v Uk ) with the two core wire unlike the UK which is 3 core one being an earth with a three-pin plug not a two pin plug as this iron has. if somone changed the plug to a uk it would more tha likey fry the iron may even catch fire. i t doesn't tell you anywhere on the description that this is for the us market only should not be used in the UK. i am in contact with Rowenta to find out more and if the iron could be used in the uk < I believe that the answer is going to be no I will have to send this back so disappointed

Iron became faulty just 3 months after purchase with very minimal usage. Repair centre said this voltage is not meant for SG usage and can’t repair. Waiting for seller to get back on a solution to repair the iron.

Excellent iron. Great amount of steam. Heats up fast. Make sure that you run the iron on the ironing board for when starting to iron after it heats up as the excess steam at the start may burn/stain your outfit. Once this is done, the iron is brilliant.

I have been use this brand for long time. I recommend it.

I'm a quilter by hobby so picking out an iron is a very important thing. This is my second Rowenta Iron - the only reason I had to choose a new one was the old one I kept dropping (always my fault for banging into the ironing board to have everything fall over) anyway, it went through 4 years of hard falls before the casing finally cracked. If you knew how many times I tipped over the ironing board, you would be impressed with that. So I finally got smart, moved the ironing board (and furniture) so I can no longer tip it over. This new iron is more impressive, does a much better job of ironing and makes for a smooth maneuver over the material. The only "thing" I can find fault for, is that the steam (water in the tank) does not last long due to that at the beginning it over steams the material and is using up the water faster. Not sure if there is a way to control that at the beginning to make it last longer. Now that I've got it (my ironing board and iron) in a safer place, I expect that this will last me for years. Thank you for developing a sturdy, safe and long lasting iron!

This review is for the Rowenta DG7626 Compact Steam Pro I am a home sewer. I make both garments and the occasional craft project. 15 years ago I bought a Delonghi Steam Generator Iron (a.k.a. Steam System a.k.a. Mini-boiler) and found it to be vastly superior to using an inexpensive iron with a water tank in the handle (which usually drips water on the fabric and doesn't make enough steam.) Also, spritzing the fabric with water while ironing is fine for cottons and may work for quilters but just does not cut it if you are trying to shape seams for a garment or working with fusible interfacing. I stupidly broke my Delonghi and I just can't go back to the old type of iron. Sadly Delonghi doesn't seem to make these anymore. The only brands I found with products in the "low" price range ( $250 to $300) are Rowenta and the Reliable "Maven" model. Over the years on sewing forums I have heard plenty of complaints about Rowenta quality. The Reliable Maven reviews also had a number of complaints and there were a lot fewer reviews. While Reliable's commercial steam systems have a very good reputation, spending over $600 for a professional steam iron doesn't make any sense for a home sewer of only average skill and small output. So after reading a bunch of reviews and shopping all over the internet I decided to try the Rowenta DG7626. The Rowenta iron works differently from the Delonghi. The Delonghi had a big metal water tank with a heavy metal cap that screwed on really tight. It then heated the entire tank of water and once the tank had reached the proper temperature, you had lots of steam and it would only cycle the heat on if the water cooled enough. The Rowenta uses a plastic tank in which the water remains cool, and periodically a pump kicks on to inject some more water into the (much smaller) boiler to generate the steam. The Delonghi (which did not have a pump) produced more steam for a longer period of time, but it took FOREVER to heat up to temperature and produce that first blast of steam. The Rowenta has steam in about 3 minutes. The Rowenta design seems more energy efficient for shorter ironing sessions. The Rowenta is ready much faster but the quantity of steam can drop somewhat as it draws more water to make more steam if you exhaust the smaller boiler. The Rowenta does make a very noticeable humming sound for a few seconds every time the pump kicks on. I think the Rowenta system is fine for my individual needs as I am usually alternating between sewing and pressing steps in my projects, but if you need a LOT of steam in a continuous stream without any variation, this may not be the product for you. The Rowenta did generate enough steam to iron a bed sheet while working continuously. (I did that just as a test, I normally could not care less if my sheets are wrinkled.) The only other downside I can think of for the Rowenta is that this pump is another component that might fail over time. The Rowenta goes into Standby mode (for steam) after 8 minutes of disuse which is not a very long time, and shuts off completely after about 30 minutes. The Delonghi had no auto shut-off -- it would stay on for days if I forgot to shut it off. Some people really don't like auto shut-off but I'm at the age now where I appreciate the safety precaution and I will just work with the 8-minute limit. You need to press a button to get it to come back out of standby and it takes a couple minutes to generate steam again. As with both "steam system" irons, when you first heat up, you want to blast some steam away from your fabric so any condensation sitting in the lines from the previous use can be pushed out. Otherwise you get water dripping on your fabric which may or may not be a problem depending on what fabric you are pressing. The instructions say to use normal tap water for the Rowenta which is good because I am not buying special water for my iron. I have no need for "vertical steaming" so I can't tell you if the Rowenta is sufficient for steaming garments on the hanger. There are other appliances designed specifically for garment steaming that don't have an iron, just a wand that shoots steam -- that might be a better buy. Everything looked good coming out of the box and it is working correctly according to the manual. If the Rowenta starts to have problems I will update this review.
