A few weeks ago my iron up and quit on me. I am used to irons not lasting long. A year, maybe 2 is what I expect. I thought that if my irons don't last very long then why pay a lot for one.
When my iron died I needed to replace it quickly. I sew every day and didn't want to fall behind.
I put a request out on our Facebook page for iron recommendations. Rowenta irons seemed to be well liked by some of you so I bought one. I paid more for this iron than I usually would but maybe my longevity problem was I was getting what I paid for.
So here is my thoughts on the Rowenta Iron:
-it does'nt have an automatic off feature. This could be a good thing. I get frustrated when my iron keeps shutting off on me. I like a hot iron, not a warmish one. I will just have to get into the habit of turning it off when I am done for the day.
-I can see how much water I am putting in. My past irons would just spill over when I had filled it leaving me with a soggy ironing board.
-it gets hot, really hot. For me, this is a good thing. And the steam is abundant.
-the cord could be a little longer. I could use an extension cord and solve this minor problem.
-I have been using it for a few weeks now and I have no complaints and so the Rowenta gets a recommendation from me.
Thanks to everyone who took the time heeding my call on Facebook. Its good to know if I have a question you all are there to help me out.
Rowenta in no way knows of my existence and this review was on my own.

ReplyDeleteI have had my Rowenta for years, still looks like new and works like new :)
ReplyDeleteHope it'll work out for you! I mostly heard complains about it that they leak all over the place and don't last long.
