Rowenta, 2-in-1 Duo Force Iron and Steamer for Clothes, 1700W Steam Iron, Stainless Steel Soleplate, Ultra-lightweight, Detachable 13.5-oz Water Tank, 30s Heat-Up, Anti-Drip, Black & Green, JR4030

Unique and cute, comes with a very long cord and a holder for when it’s hot. Steams very well and works well on every piece of clothes with good temperature gauge. This was a good buy and will last very long.

I had no idea what a good iron was until I spent a little money and purchased this. It is so great! It heats up super fast, irons incredibly well (I appreciate the weight so I don't have to press down too hard), doesn't get goopy (somehow, my old iron always got goop on it, which was a concern every time I had to use it due to the transfer concern), and shuts off automatically so you don't burn the house down. The steam function is fantastic -- no drippy water, just the right amount. Also, it looks really sleek -- like a serious piece of equipment. That's a minor point but these things are designed, and I appreciate the effort that was put into this one. I will leave it up to other reviewers to give a more in-depth analysis -- just wanted to put in my two cents based on decades of reluctant ironing until now.

In my opinion this iron is not heavy as some reviews stated. I absolutely love it! Plug it in and you will be ironing in no time. It glides smoothly over the fabric. I did accidentally melt the collar on one of my blouses, I underestimated how quickly this iron would heat up. This is without a doubt the best iron i have ever owned. I think nothing looks worse than someone wearing wrinkled clothing. If one has a decent iron it only takes a few minutes to make your clothes look nice. I have been living on my own for almost 50 years, so I have owned several irons. I love the retractable cord! Makes storage a breeze. The weight of the iron is sufficient to decrease the effort required to get wrinkles out. I do wish the water reservoir was a bit larger, but that is not a deal breaker for me. The temperature adjustment is in an awkward place which makes it a bit difficult to read. I do recommend that you use a pressing cloth if working with delicate fabric as i melted the collar on a synthetic blouse. Overall i am extremely pleased with my purchase!

Rowenta DW2459Overall, I find this iron to be a pleasure to use. Its substantial weight and ergo-dynamic design allow for smooth forward, backward, and side to side motion for quick and effortless ironing.Strengths- The cord is the perfect weight with quality rubber covering that does not snag as it drags over fabric as do other irons.- The cord rewind has strong tension with a convenient push button activator at the base of the handle.- The thermostat knob is smooth and sturdy with a quality feel.- I have not yet used the steam function for upright garment steaming so I can’t address that option.- The spray button is conveniently located next to the steam button at the head of the handle and has a quality feel and slow, cushioned recoil. The spray nozzle at the tip of the iron sprays a uniform and steady mist with minimal oversized drops.- The spray coverage area is substantial and if the user gets a feel for swiping left and right while spraying, the iron becomes even more effective with coverage.- The handle is comfortable with a well-designed shape and angle.- The soul plate has efficient coverage area with a narrow tip that fits well under overlays.- The iron has a comfortable weight that works well to effortlessly iron out wrinkles without much if any additional pressure.- This model comes with an auto off safety feature that switches the iron off if left on the soleplate motionless for 30 seconds or if left on its heel untouched for 8 minutes. A red light at the top of the handle just below the steam and spray buttons indicates whether or not the iron is on, while an amber light on the left side of the base of the handle shuts off when the iron has not been used but turns back on once you move the iron, indicating that the soleplate will now reheat.- The heel of the iron is wide and stable.- The soleplate cools remarkably quickly after turning the iron off.Suggestions- The soleplate scratches easily; after the first use a number of scratches appeared at the tip, the center, and a small area in between that could only have been caused by knots of thread on the underside of buttons; the soleplate did not contact buttons or zippers.- The owners manual that comes with this model shows the icons reversed for release valve steam/spray slide from what actually is displayed on the iron; a more generic Rowenta iron instruction guide downloaded for comparison displays the same reversed configuration.- The instructions note that the release valve pin attached to the steam/spray slide is not replaceable if damaged. This should be a replacement part.- The instruction guide directs the user to release the steam lever valve pin to the self clean position and keep it in the raised position for self cleaning; this position is unclear in the diagram as it shows the user holding the pin instead of it being in a locked position.- To reduce having to use the anti-calc feature for my extremely hard water, I just use spring water.

Probably the Best Iron out there. Durability is there. The weight of it helps a lot because you don’t have to press it onto the fabric. You just let it Glide. The steam is strong! Professional level iron.. if you actually know how to use it properly.

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.

I love Rowenta and this iron is great! With this iron, you don't even have to iron both sides of your clothing because the steam is strong enough to straighten the opposite side that you're ironing. The retractable cord is an added bonus too!
