"Good iron!" | 2010-08-11 |
| - Reviewed By Susan Canavespe from Katy, TX |
| This promises to be the best iron I've had in a long time. Which is really only three or four. Anyway, since the one my Mom passed down to me when I left for school. In researching irons before I purchased this one, one reviewer made mention of buying one made in Germany, which this one is. Good advice. Even though this iron is a bit heavy, it promises to last a long time, has all the pertinent features, and the auto-off actually works. |

| After being left highly unimpressed by the Rowenta Pro Master, I exchanged it for the Steamium, which - according to many reviews - was supposed to be "the supreme". I found it incredibly disappointing. Wimpy, no power, yet very heavy, the sole feels non-smooth and doesn't glide too well. A total "no". It is going right back to the store. At this point I am desperate, so I will just have to get a steam generator. |

| I received the Rowenta Advancer Iron DZ9080 for my birthday. I read the manual front to back and then filled the tank with water. The next day it had leaked every where. I, then had to return it to the store which was a little hassel but I was happy to get a brand new one so that i could start ironing. I used the iron 3 times, then it would NOT heat. I called Rowenta because it had been past 60 days and the store would not let me return it. I had never dropped it or hardly used it for that matter. I had to send it off (and pay the shipping) for them to replace it. After 3 weeks I finally recieved my iron and they sent me a different iron (Rowenta DW9080). I am not sure if I am happy about this decision or not. I havent used the new one yet so I cannot comment about it. I pray that this one works and last longer than 3 uses! |

"A powerful iron - 1800 watts" | 2010-07-16 |

| I've been ironing for over 45 years and the past 20 years I've used Rowenta irons. They are great irons but they don't seem to last long. I take great care and empty them after every use but they still stop working after about 18 months-typically, they start spitting badly and fail to even heat up. At least, that is my experience with Rowenta. I bet I have purchased 10-15 Rowenta irons in the past 20 years. Even so, I still like the Rowenta because of the watts and excellent steam system. I purchased Sharp irons but they too don't last. I keep two irons-one for back-up in case the first fails. I've just had this iron for less than a week however, from this short time, I do love it. The reservoir holds a lot of water so you don't have to keep refilling it. This iron, DW9080, is powerful, 1800 watts which is very important. The more powerful the iron, the easier the ironing. This iron is easy to fill and heats up quickly. Since it has over 400 steam vents, it really puts out a lot of steam plus you have a couple of options to add more steam with the "autosteam vent", the "spray button" and burst of the "steam button". If you iron a lot and really care that your clothes look nice then I would recommend this iron, however, keep in mind that it may not last. But, on the other hand, maybe the problems that have plagued Rowenta have been addressed and it's more durable. |

"Broke within first week" | 2010-07-15 |

| This iron is an absolute piece of garbage (like every other Rowenta iron I have ever owned). The temperature knob broke within one week of use. After two and a half weeks of use, the steam button no longer worked, rendering the iron absolutely useless. Please don't waste your money on this iron. If you are going to buy Rowenta, buy a less expensive iron, as whatever you buy will not last you very long. |

"Wow! What an Iron!" | 2010-07-09 |

In June 2010, I received this Rowenta Steamium Model DW9080 as a free replacement for a Rowenta Advancer DZ9080 whose heater unit went out while still under warranty.
This new Steamium model is much easier to manuever with its ergonomic handle and controls. That's the way I like it! It still has the great sole plate with all the little holes for delivering lots of steam. The control dial is much easier and ergonomic. I can empty the water out of the chamber much more easily when I'm done ironing. The precision tip teamed with the 360 degree cord rotation is perfect for ironing between buttons and tight corners.
This iron is a big improvement over the clutzy, cumbersome DZ9080 Advancer. The water in the tank lasts longer, too. This is a buy recommendation.
