Rowenta Iron Steamer for Clothes Master Steam Station, Professional Steam Iron for Clothes with Stainless Steel Soleplate, 57 Oz, 400 Microsteam Holes, Built-In Pump, 1750 Watts, Black/Green, VR8338

I iron nearly every day and this is a heavy iron which I love. There are two things I which I wish were different: It doesn't have a shut off and it doesn't have a spray feature. It does have a good steam pulse, however. If I want some spray, I keep a spray bottle of water near my ironing board. It heats up quickly.

Works great great. Ironing is easy No leaking of water. Good steam

Professional steam iron. Well built and feels sturdy when in use. Produces a ton of steam and is easy to fill / drain water. Only caveat is this thing is wide so it doesn’t fit my existing hanging ironing board and iron holder.

I owned the same model for 10 years (the picture is of the old one). It worked fine. Only the water cap hinge broke early on. Otherwise, I had no issues with it. Recently, it started overheating, and I decided it was time to get a new iron. I bought the same model (Rowenta steam force). It looks similar, but it's much lighter, and the surface is not super smooth, so it doesn't glide as easily. And it did not feel as effective as the old one. For the money you pay, I do not think it's worth it. I'm returning it.

And, yes, it spits. On the plus side, it makes lots of steam, it is beautifully made, and the sole plate looks as if it will last forever. Removing soft wrinkles from washing and drying is a breeze. There may be too many steam ports to allow the sole plate to stay hot enough?? I used ten passes each, on the hottest setting, to try to remove the creases from cotton batik shown in the photo, with steam, without steam, and with water from a spray bottle. If I accidentally add a crease while ironing, I can't get it out. Can't undo. When it spits, I shut of the steam, then iron for another ten passes to (mostly) get it dry. I have used Rowenta irons for many years, so I am surprised and disappointed, especially given the price.

Loved my new iron. works will. Iron is a little heavy but ok.

This iron is good quality and irons easy. Heat level is accurate for different types of fabric. Would recommend.

This is my second Rowenta iron. I purchase my first one in 2008 for $47.99 from Bed, Bath and Beyond. It performed well until it developed a leak coming from the retractable electrical cord casing. That first Rowenta lasted longer than any other brand I had, so I stuck with the manufacturer. Both irons have the self-cleaning feature. The new iron weighs 3 pounds 12 ounces empty and 4 pounds 8 ounces with water. My old iron weighed 3 pounds 4 ounces. The heavier weight is noticable. The base is wider promoting stability. The sole plate is not polished. The steam output is enough to steam my glasses. The cord is not retractable. The cord is long enough. The cord is rubber coated and drags pulling the fabric. Very disappointing A slippery-fabric cover on the cord would solve this issue. I tested both auto-shut-off features; horizontal idle turns off after 30 seconds, verticle idle auto-shut-off happens after 8 minutes. The water tank holds ample water. There is a slight vibration as the water pump fills the steam chamber while in the horizontal position. Not a big deal. To summarize: Con: heavy weight with a cord that needs constant attention to prevent dragging on the fabric. Pro: Ample steam with safety features that work. It uses 1,800-1,850 Watts. Make sure you have a GFI on that circuit.
