DX1700 Rowenta  Steam Iron

For steam treatment on silk scarves, linen tablecloths, wool slacks, and more, Rowenta presents their Effective Steam Iron. The 1600-watt iron adapts for vertical use on curtains and long, hanging garments. The iron’s translucent water reserve holds 8-1/2 ounces of water for conversion into steam bursts, mists and other steam patterns. The steam iron features a polished stainless-steel soleplate that provides even heat to fabrics.

Channeled steam holes along the soleplate ensure smooth movement. Steam holes in the soleplate’s profile tip assist in ironing around buttons and in pleats. A soft covered handle resists slipping with ergonomic comfort. A special indicator monitors the tap water levels in the iron’s anti-drip tank. After use, the iron cleans itself by flushing out any mineral or impure deposits collected through the ironing process, preventing calc build-up.

For home safety, Rowenta designed the steam iron with three different automatic shutoff functions. The steam iron shuts down after 30 seconds resting horizontally, or if knocked over. If left idle sitting safely on its heel rest, the iron arrests power after 8 minutes to prevent overheating and wasted electricity. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. The Germany-made iron benefits from a one-year limited warranty. The iron measures 11.9 by 6.6 by 5.6 inches and 55 ounces upon shipping.

DZ5080 Focus Stainless-Steel 1700-Watt Rowenta Steam Iron

Providing a smooth nonstick surface with excellent glide, this iron features a thin stainless-steel soleplate with 400 microsteam holes to deliver perfect steam distribution. The unit combines electronic temperature sensors and controls with LED lights in an easy-to-use system.

Red signals too hot, yellow signals too cool, and green signals an ideal temperature for the fabric. In addition, its high-precision tip delivers steam to hard-to-reach areas like seams, collars, pockets, and around buttons. Choose the powerful burst of steam option to help iron out stubborn wrinkles, or select variable steam that matches the right amount of steam to the fabric type.

Even more, the vertical steam function allows the iron to be used in an upright position to remove wrinkles from drapes and hanging garments. For safety, a three-way automatic shutoff function turns the iron off after eight minutes if vertical and after 30 seconds if horizontal or tipped over. The iron also provides a self-cleaning system that removes loose mineral deposits and flushes out impurities for clean steam performance.

Other highlights include a soft-grip handle for comfort, a large soft-touch rear for extra stability when set on its heel, a large 10-ounce water tank, a covered filling inlet, an anti-drip system, and an easy-to-use precision dial. The 1700-watt iron measures 10-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

DX-8800 1750-Watt Professional Rowenta  Steam Iron

Serious quilters and sewing professionals know the benefits of having a high-quality iron, especially one with an extra-large water tank that needs refilling less often. Made in Germany with comfort and technology hand in hand, the Rowenta features a soft-grip handle, ideal for this large, heavier-weight iron; a transparent 12.7-ounce water tank with a sliding cover over the fill hole and anti-drip system; and a burst of steam that lasts longer and is forcibly shot into stubborn fabric wrinkles.

The iron’s soleplate is polished stainless steel that will never chip or peel. Other functions include spray, variable steam, and steam-free ironing, as well as vertical ironing for drapes. Safety is a high priority for Rowenta. This iron shuts off automatically under three different circumstances: after eight minutes of standing vertically without use, and after 30 seconds if left flat on the soleplate or if it has toppled over on its side. A lift or gentle shake reactivates the iron and a light comes on indicating the iron is in use.

The iron also features a flexible cord mount for easy maneuverability and an anti-slip frame for stability. Rowenta covers the iron with a one-year warranty. –Ann Bieri

The unit features a microsteam 400-hole platinum soleplate coated in stainless steel with an ultra-thin silicate coating for smooth, nonstick gliding, plus a high-precision tip that works well for getting into pleats, between buttons, and along seams.
