Steam Force Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron for Clothes, Anti-Drip Protection, 400 Microsteam Holes, 1800 Watts, Iron, Fabric Steamer, Garment Steamer for Clothes, Precision Tip, DW9440

Love this iron. I used it to steam iron 30 tablecloths for my granddaughters wedding. It worked perfectly

Replaced my 40 year old Rowenta. A bit heavier. No leaks and a far better spray. Stays upright on a stable base. Much improved product.

Love this iron! Perfect for my jeans and cotton shirts. Presses out wrinkles without much effort. Steam presses and no water leaks.

It's heavy but I like it for the price and I don't use it that often. It does have great steam and clothes and sheets come out great. But it looses a star as it's heavy and I won't recommend it for any housekeeper or anyone that has to iron for long hours.

UPDATE: I really blew it on this review, should have given it more time. I HATE this iron!! I have had it barely six months, and right out of the box it worked great. But six months in, I am throwing it in the trash to vow never to buy another Rowenta iron. The iron sits in my linen closet, has never been dropped, and here are the problems. It not only spits water all over the clothes, you can see by the photos. But it literally dumps water on the clothes. If I turn the steam off, the iron cools down and doesn't stay hot enough to iron. So BEWARE, it may work great out of the box, but give it time. I am purchasing a different brand, and won't even donate this one. I don't want anyone else to feel the same frustration, so in the trash it goes. This is my 3rd Rowenta Iron, and I love them. Yes, they are a bit heavier than other irons, but I prefer that. Some have said the water reservoir is small, I haven't noticed that. The iron heats quickly, steams well, and is heavy enough that I don't have to press down to get a nice clean garment. The water reservoir is fine, if I have a lot to iron I may have to refill it. But it isn't leaking, or spitting water, and I am very happy with this Rowenta iron.

The Rowenta Steam Force Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron is HANDS DOWN the best iron money can buy! The steam power is absolutely incredible, and it removes wrinkles effortlessly, even on heavy fabrics, linen, and dress shirts. The stainless-steel soleplate glides smoothly and evenly without sticking or snagging. What really impressed me is how professional the results look — crisp, clean, and sharp every single time. It heats up quickly, delivers powerful steam consistently, and feels durable and high-quality in your hands. You can truly tell this iron was built to last! If you want an iron that performs like commercial-grade equipment while still being easy to use at home, this is it. Worth every penny!

I’ve been a loyal Rowenta Steam Iron user for over three decades. I own one of the older models that still works, but it lacks the heating and steam capabilities of the newer ones. All these irons were manufactured in Germany, and I never had any issues during the 30 years I owned them. The last one DW9220 only last three years as it started leaking or more completely soaking my ironing board and floor. I had to iron dry with a spray bottle. First bad experience. I probably have only bought before this one, four Rowenta Irons. One just because it was a Professional version on sale. The Rowenta Steam Force Iron I purchased was used or tried out. (Was this an Amazon issue?) I resolved that issue. However, I noticed that it’s now made internationally and doesn’t seem to meet Germany’s standards for Rowenta. The heat dial is difficult to read and use. The dial doesn't turn easily or seem to set where you need it. Nor does it heat up quickly at all. Using the wrinkles feature is awkward when using steam or spray on top of the iron because the dial is just underneath. You have to hold the iron further back or different. I do appreciate the heavier weight, but it’s not too heavy. It glides smoothly, making ironing easier. The model I purchased DW9440, which it states has a digital display, but it actually has a dial underneath. I can't speak to leakage, yet. As with the Rowenta DW9220 it worked great for approximately two and half years until it began to leak water onto clothes. Then, began to poor water out the end of cord and through the iron. So I will hold on to hopeI’ll hold on to the hope that this Rowenta Steam Force won’t leak. (For those experiencing leaks, please refer to the instructions.) I know it sounds silly, but there’s a correct way to use the steam button. Value now is much cheaper for what I paid in October, 2025. Rowenta used to be a great company that stood behind their products. Make sure to registered your Iron.

This iron heats up quickly for ironing. The section for adding water is easy to open The cord is long, not retractable but overall I lathe iron’s performance

These are my first impressions and I’ll update with any new info. First, this iron is a behemoth. It’s large, and with 1850 watts, very powerful. The burst of steam is ejected with such force, you better make sure your hand is nowhere near it, lest you get a scald. I wear a lot of linen and ironing with a regular iron takes forever. The wrinkles fell away effortlessly with this one. I was able to iron delicate synthetics on low setting with equal ease. The downside of the size is that it doesn’t fit in my ironing board / iron holder! My old iron rattled around with plenty of room. This iron is huge! The water tank is over 11 oz and is easy to fill which is a good thing because with the amount of steam it generates, you go through a lot of water. I ironed 12 blouses and went through 3 tanks of water. There is also a calcium filter for hard water. There is no digital display for temperature or steam settings, just manual dials which suits me fine (less electronics to break down.) This appears to be just one of two Rowenta steam irons made in France (the other being the Steam Force Pro). All others are made in China. Rowenta needs to be more clear on this fact. I never thought I’d spend $150 on a steam iron but I didn’t want another cheap made in China appliance that’ll die in a few months. I am hopeful this one, being made in France, will last a few years (fingers crossed).

Es un poco pesada, pero se compensa por mucho con la facilidad para planchar por la gran cantidad de vapor que emite. Excelente producto

The iron seemed to be great, but first of all we’ve ordered it from uk has US plug. Then it has stopped working after one month

Cumplió las expectativas, es un plancha que cumple con las especificaciones con que se ofrece

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.
