Rowenta Steam Force+ Iron for Clothes, Stainless Steel Soleplate, 1850 Watts, 400 Microsteam Holes, Garment Steamer, Copper, DW9540U1

My wonderful wife is the one in the household that does the ironing. Shirts and dress pants simply cannot go out without a decent look, and the ironing must be done! She inherited a Rowena after her mother passed, [she was an ironing Queen] and used it many years until it calcified beyond cleaning. Being fruegal she acquired a lesser brand and was not satisfied with it. So I purchased this model, and she is now in ironing heaven!

This iron is great because it works =, my older one just finally stopped working after 12 years so i do believe I got my money's worth out of it this is why a bought another ROWENTA - Very dependable even over time. This new iron looks like it will last a long time

I had old version (Rowenta) over 25 years old. Until I purchased this replacement steam iron. I did not realize I was overworking myself. Now the ironing is smooth and easy. The weight the iron allows me to glide over the fabric and look professional when completed. I would purchase this steam iron again.

Quality and good performance. I've been using rowenta for over a decade. I was disappointed the last one lasted less than 10 years. This one has some improvements though. More solid footing for standing upright. Better steam dispersal with holes on the faceplate. I hope this lasts a long time. Shirts come out wrinkless.

I've been through my fair share of irons, but the Rowenta Stranforce Pro truly stands out. From the very first use, I was blown away by how powerful and precise it is. The steam output is incredible—it smooths even the most stubborn wrinkles with minimal effort. I love the weight and balance of the iron; it feels solid and professional without being too heavy.

I thought I had done my research and was treating myself to an upgrade for my sewing room. Unfortunately, the steam force pro weighs in at a full 5 lbs--very heavy for a 68 yr old with a torn rotator cuff. Additionally, the instructions recommend you starch only the wrong side of fabric than you are ironing on--that is very inconvenient and frankly awkward to accomplish. You can't actually turn the iron off from the mode switch--it will only turn itself off after sitting 8 minutes/etc. You can't control the steam--it's always on above the synthetic level and some fusible interfacings, for example, want a higher heat setting with no steam. Bottom line, it's not a fit for my needs.

This iron is too heavy and awkward to hold. The steam button is right where you would put your fingers on the handle. Bad design in my opinion. Also, I keep accidentally changing the setting(from wool to cotton, etc)without meaning to. Not worth the price. Wish I could return it.

I like the iron very much. I especially like the fact it gets very hot. I don't like the fact it leaks. This is about my 8th Rowenta iron and the first problem I have had I read the directions 3 times as I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong. I have used it three times.

The Rowenta SteamForce Pro Steam Iron did not meet my expectations. The unit is noticeably heavy, which makes it difficult to handle during longer ironing sessions. Additionally, when I used it for the first time, it emitted an unpleasant odor that was concerning. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this iron.

I am quite disappointed with this iron. This is the fourth Rowenta iron I have purchased through the years. I have enjoyed years of using Rowenta irons before they started leaking water. However I have used my new Rowenta iron twice now: once to iron some flat linen items and once to iron three dress shirts. On both occasions, this new iron randomly leaked water while ironing. It is most frustrating to me to be ironing an item and then have a larger drop of water come out of the iron.
