Access Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron with Retractable Cord, Powerful Steam Diffusion, Auto-Off and Anti-Drip, 1725 Watts, Black Clothes Iron, DW2459

Iron works great!! Water container is a bit difficult to fill but not bad once you get the hang of it. Works a bit differently then my last Rowenta, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to use and works great. It's a bit heavier than my last iron but not enough to avoid buying it. Still irons great and doesn't feel heavy when using. It would be nice to have a larger water tank so you don't have to refill as often, but I had this same issue with my last Rowenta iron as I'm guessing most irons gave the same issue.

Great iron. Works really well fro low hest to super hot steam. Made quick work of highly creased pre-made drapes that I wanted to hang. Auto shutoff works great. Seems to be really sturdy--cat knocked it off the table to the hard floor, but the iron was A-OK!

I love this iron. I usually have my irons for years. My last one started scorching my clothes. It is lightweight and very easy to use. I would recommend emptying the water out of the iron after each use.

The Rowenta Access Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron offers excellent performance with smooth glide, strong steam output, and a convenient retractable cord, making it ideal for everyday ironing. But noticed some water leakage and inconsistent heat. Overall, it's a solid mid-range option for those seeking efficiency and comfort, especially on cotton and linen fabrics.

I owned a Rowenta 20 yrs ago. I wanted another one because I loved the one I had. I looked at many different Rowenta irons before purchasing. I felt I needed to use it for a few months before reviewing. The new iron is no where even close to the Rowenta quality I owned 20 yrs ago. This iron leaks. It drips out of the opening door of the water well. The instructions state clearly to keep the water well full and it won’t leak. That is a lie. It drips water all over everything I iron. Very frustrating. And there is no way to stop the leaking. It leaks out the tip of the door of the water well. You can literally hold the iron face down and see the water drip out. It just seems to me this should not be happening. Very poor design. Now let’s talk about the iron plate. I’ve used this iron maybe 20 times since purchasing. The edges of the iron plate are black. I’m going to have to purchase some sort of iron plate cleaner. This should not be happening. I’ve had irons I used 10+ yrs and the plate never looked like this. Or needed cleaning. The iron is light weight. Love the slim tip. I find the water well difficult to put water in. And the temperature dial is a disaster. Does not get nearly as hot as other brands I’ve owned. After using it a few months I can honestly say I wish I had returned it. This iron is in no way shape or form the same quality of my first Rowenta. Fortunately I bought this iron at a Black Friday price. Being totally honest here. It’s the worst iron I’ve ever owned. It’s clear to me I’ll be replacing it with another brand sooner than later. No more Rowenta irons for me. Very disappointed in my purchase. Very disappointed Rowenta has fallen so far. Rowenta once made a superb iron. Sadly not anymore. I’ll never buy another one.

I was sent a used iron in a new package. The water tank had moisture in it (could be from testing at the factory) , the chrome accents were scratched and it looks like someone wiped down the base plate with a sponge because there is residue all over it. Also in the package there is a card that should be attached to the base plate for protection and it was just thrown in the box. If it was just the moisture in the tank I wouldn't think anything of it because of the water tested sticker on the tank but the other issues don't give me any confidence that I didn't just get a repackaged returned item. I could be wrong in my assumptions and it may just be a product of a lazy worker in the testing group but Id rather not take my chances on something that has the ability to grievously harm the user if damaged. Update: I have updated to 5 stars because it is a great product and the issue was resolved immediately. I was sent a replacement the next day which did not have any of the above mentioned issues other than moisture in the tank from testing which isn't an issue. The iron itself works great and I could safely recommend this product now.

This is by far the best steam iron I've ever owned. I was visiting family and used their's to iron some clothes and I loved I'd so much I went online and ordered one for myself immediately. It does cost a little more than your typical department store brand, but it is worth every penny!

This the first new iron I purchased in 20 years. I had a Rowenta from 2001. It still worked but the steam mechanism was clogged for good. This iron is so much lighter than my old one. My first task was 16 sheer curtains. The light polyester fabric was easy to iron and the light weight of the iron was appreciated. I did have to turn the iron up to a much higher setting than the polyester setting. Next I ironed a set of cotton sheets. I never buy 100% cotton sheets but I thought I would try them. These came out of the wash a stiffly crumpled lump and needed to be ironed before I could use them again. I never ironed sheets before in my life and this was not an easy task. It is a queen set and I had the iron on the highest setting. I had to fill the water well 3 times before I completed the job. Filling is not recommended when the iron is hot but I didn't want to wait for the iron to cool. Is there an iron that fills easily? I don't know, but I dribble the water everywhere. I used only distilled water and I hate to waste it. It's not the price, it's having to go buy it. So back to ironing, this is where the light weight wasn't in my favor. It was a bear to remove the wrinkles from the cotton and I had to press down quite a bit. I have ironed cotton shorts with my old heavy iron without a problem but without comparing the same irons on the same fabric, I can't really say if the weight was the issue. My third experience was with a manmade fiber jacket purchased from one of those Chinese websites that arrives a mass of wrinkles in a plastic bag. I also had difficultly removing the wrinkles. I was now regretting throwing away my old iron. I would have gladly gone back to spraying the water from a bottle for steam. The retractable cord is a fantastic feature and the iron heats up quickly. I find myself accidentally moving the temperature dial as I iron because it's behind the handle and moves easily. I feel like they made advancements with the looks and retractable cord but have sacrificed the quality of materials and this reduces the functionality.
