Rowenta Pro Master Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron for Clothes, 210 g/min, 400 Microsteam Holes, Cotton, Wool, Poly, Silk, Linen, Nylon, 1775 Watts Iron Steamer for Clothes, Powerful Steam DW8360

I read many reviews on this iron and I think they have upgraded this model. First, the temperature dial is not that easy to move so brushing your hand on it when picking it up will not move the dial. My iron did not leak at all. I filled it to the MAX level and turned it on. It did not leak before it heated up or while it was hot. I even put the iron horizontal and there was no leaking. The steam function worked fine. The instructions were very informative with pictures. The wool setting of two dots (eco) will not steam unless the steam setting switch is also on eco. Then a smaller amount of steam is produced. It says that in the instructions. The auto off is on when the auto off red light on top of the handle is flashing. When that red light is not flashing the auto off feature is not on and the iron is working on the setting you have it on. To reactivate the iron from being off you just move the iron horizontally back and forth a couple times and it comes back on. The light that is very hard to find and see is the "Pilot" light. The one that tells you the iron is heating up. It is located on the left side bottom of the handle and it is sort of back under the center of the iron and it is a very faint orange. In order to see it you have to look for it and tip the iron a bit to see it. It is on only when the iron is heating up. The instructions say not to iron until that light goes off. This iron's spray and burst buttons worked fine. This iron steam presses very nicely on a flat wool ironing pad. I have not tried the vertical steaming because I don't have any clothes or items to vertically press. I sew and quilt and I use an iron for my sewing projects. So I use the highest cotton setting when I iron and this does great on that setting. It does glide over fabrics very well. I did not time the time it took to heat up. But I would guess it got to the cotton setting in a minute or two. It is an expensive iron but it has a lot of nice features like how the cord is attached to the iron on a pivoting ball to help the cord stay out of the way. The cord is about 7.5 feet long. The iron is not too heavy and not too light. It does have the calcium cleaner on it for easy cleaning of the iron. It pressed serious creases in fabric that was folded many times so it was 12 layers of fabric. Ironed it flat with the cotton setting and burst of steam. So far I like this iron. :)

I have used Rowenta irons for a long time. The iron has auto shut off, easy to fill water basin and a large iron plate with great steam. Great value for the price point. Love the shape and the way it’s made. Very easy to use and glides smoothly over your clothes. Highly recommend this brand

This is a very nice iron; it feels nice, it irons quickly, and the steam is wonderful. This iron comes in a box with a German flag, but the plate on the iron states "Made in China". More pros, the dial clicks into place, you're likely to move it when you pick up the iron. Filling the iron is easy, no funnel! You can control the amount of steam. It has a calcium filter. It uses tap water. The ball joint cord makes it even easier. The cons: The iron heats up quickly. There isn't a light to indicate when it's ready to use, even though the manual says that it has one. If you're standing next to the iron, you will hear a click. There's no power off. The manual tells you to unplug it when you're done, but then you're unplugging an appliance that is on. If you walk away for eight minutes, it will turn itself off. I would rather be able to turn it off and unplug it rather than remember that I left it plugged in. This is inconvenient when getting ready in the morning. Overall, I like it very much, however, the user manual should be updated and the box should tell us it's made in China.

Love my new Rowenta! I had a different Rowenta model (now discontinued) for years and just recently started to leak. I use my iron every day under heavy usage. I do use the steam function rather than a water bottle. Any model of any brand iron will begin to leak at some point if you use the reservoir for the steam function, why, I have not clue, but they do. I do not consider my old Rowenta showing leakage as a fault of design. Again, I use my iron daily under heavy usage. I am a sewist and sew up to 12 hours a day. I am now using my old Rowenta as my household iron. When I was searching for a new iron, I did admittingly stray and tried the Oliso. My sister has had her Oliso for years, loves it and has never had any issues. So thought would give it a try as it is marketed specifically for sewists. Had it for exactly 30 days and it literally stopped working. Right in the middle of me ironing my quilt top; I set the iron on the silicone pad, it raised, I moved the top to the next section to be ironed, grabbed the iron and the feet didn't move. It had completely shut off. Unplugged it and waited quite some time, plugged it back in, nothing. Did that several times, even the next day. Nothing. Not to mention several other functions were disappointingly subpar considering the price tag. Immediately returned it. Will never stray again! Love the weight of this iron, even when the reservoir is empty. The reservoir holds quite a bit of water. I can see the water level just fine and I have to wear reading glasses when sewing. We have hard water so I do use distilled water. The soleplate glides like a skater on ice. The amount of steam is ka-pow-pow. I love the size of the steam/spray buttons. The selection dial is well-marked. I know some people have complained about the dial being easily turned while ironing. I find this confusing - you literally have to let your fingers fall from the handle and make an effort to turn the dial while ironing. I love the ball cord pivot so the backend does not fishtail from the cord being pulled. The auto-off function is nice and only takes a couple seconds to get back to temp when moving the iron to a horizontal position. And to top it off, I really like the color! There only a couple cons I can think of. The precision tip on this model is a little blunt compared to my old model. Still works great for my usage though. The indicator light to let you know the iron is warming up is a deep orange. I wish it was red or another color. During the day, it is almost impossible to see the indicator light; however, when the iron gets to temp, it makes an audible click so even if there wasn't an indicator light, the iron clicking tells you it's ready to go. I find these to be minor cons. Rowenta has been a long-standing trusted name in irons for over 100 years and for very good reason. Rowenta irons are worth every penny. I will only purchase Rowenta irons from now on. I know I sound like an infomercial but it is true. Solid name, solid iron, many years of reliable usage and great results.

I had to give 1* in hopes that Rowenta will adjust the few small, but mega important features. To me the most important ones are: Weight Water neck Water amount Dial and Steam button position. I have to to Complement the perfect stainless steel surface, steam holes and ease to raise the iron. The self turning off feature is awesome, however model 9280 was making a strange noise. The self adjusting temperature MODEL 3182 HAD IT ALL PERFECT, but it does not get hot enough when I do linnens and I wish it had bigger water tank. It's light weight with the same surface like the other models. The water neck is rectangular and super well designed so not even a drop spills. It is important that the water cover/cap opens wide. I tried Models 9280 8350 8080 5280 and I will not keep even one in hopes that a new design will come out. All I need was the perfect Model 3182 a bit hotter. They are all heavy. Sometimes weight listed on Amazon is in OZ another times in LB. Can we unify at least on Rowenta seller's profile? They all have the Steam button on the left now. It used to be right. Applying force multiple times in a staight line rather than diagonally is a simple physics and for a weak wrist trust me it is important. The temperature dials are positioned too much towards the front. It makes sence to be positioned towards the back under the pinky. Each time I am grabing the iron my ring finger would turn a bit the dial. Crusial with delicated fabrics, right?! Last wish for all models is that the water tanks are larger and their capacity is listed so I can kind of guess which one will last longer steaming. Thank you. You still have a great iron, I just wish my features are back with and hot HEAT is more ;) Also, why small letters on the dial? Why dark color dial? Past age 40 most folks do not see well. It is a pity to put glasses so I see that. - Vassya

I have always hated ironing until purchasing this iron. Thanks to a Google search for best irons for denim - I found this iron. It works so well, one pass even through a thicker denim. I actually enjoyed ironing! Who knew simply investing a few extra bucks would bring so much joy. It’s a great iron! Pointed tip helps get in and around those buttons!

It is my understanding this an upgrade from the previous model, and aa good thing That one the little fell off and was useless The model number SHOULD be listed here and is not. THIS IS CRITICAL AND IS DW8360 ROWENTA AND AMAZON SHOULD MAKE IT A PRACTISE AFTER SPENDING ABOUT 3 WEEKS, trying to find an iron that works for my short wife, and is not heavy we finally resorted to having to buy from Amazon This is priced right iron, light weight, THE BEST PART ,ONE CAN SEE THE RESERVOIR WHEN FILLED Most of Rowenta irons use a dark non see through blue plastic and it is a guess where the MAX line is, and important so one does not over flow Most of them are impossible to see Rowenta @ site advertises a cleaning kit for the sole plate. I think this should be sold with the iron, it is necessary if one gets stuff on the sole plate, because one can iron any more without risking clothes STICKING I will give this 5 stars for the items on this iron for the new upgrade The important thing one needs to do the simple maintenance otherwise the calcium builds up and the iron is dead it is a pretty simple things do the CLEANING, and do the calc valve. If it is hard to extract turn of the top for steam, and open the port for adding water Yes we like this iron but this NEW one right out of the yellow never came on and that with the on and off on the handle need to work to give a visual when the temp is high enough to start ironing Yes we are returning this iron, but we ordered a new one HW OREGON

I love my Rowenta steam iron!! Rowenta is a quality brand and their irons last YEARS!! This purchase was to replace a 20 year old Rowenta iron that couldn’t go on. I like the multiple settings for various fabrics, the Shot of Steam and Spray Shot functions when I need a bit more umph to get out a wrinkle. The iron is moderately heavy and sturdy, which I like. It also has an auto shut off for safety. The price is right for the iron’s qualities. For durability and longevity, pass up on the cheaper irons and buy this one.
