Product Description
This Pressure Iron was built with the consumer in mind. The powerful vertical steam option allows the iron to be used in an upright position to remove wrinkles from hanging garments, including curtains, drapes and slipcovers. The steamer has variable steam control so output levels can be adjusted to fabric type. It has a ergonomic trigger for immediate powerful steam. A stainless steel soleplate built with non-scratch properties creates an excellent glide. The steam is distributed through a 6 foot long steam cord for optimal versatility. The water capacity is extra large, at 33-oz., for 1.5 hours of autonomy. The 12 foot long electrical cord provides greater convenience and the compact base fits most ironing boards.Please note tap water is not recommended for this iron.

 Best Iron I've Ever owned October 14, 2008
Alice B. Mayurin (Branch, Louisiana)
I lusted over this iron about a year before I finally broke down and bought it. My husband bought it for me with the warning that it better last forever. I have not had the problems other posters have had. The only time I have a problem with leaking is when I walk away for more than five minutes, and even then I just hit the steam button and wait untill the cool water stored in the steam line dispurses before ironing with it. I love this iron. I love the steam, I love how quickly it does away with wrinkles, and I love how my clothes look after I've ironed with this iron. I can usually iron at least an hour before running out of water....and I usually am ready for a break by then. I find if I empty the tank after I finish, and start fresh with 32oz when I start again, I don't have to worry how much is in the tank. While true that it doesn't give much warning before running out of steam.....I can now judge when it's about to happen. I suffered for years with irons that never got hot enough, steamed enough, or put "rust" on my clothing. I simply can't say enough good things about this iron. My friends love it too and I'm sure I'm responsible for at least three sales. Even my mother in law wants one. She could put the "dry cleaners" out of business with her ironing skill. I iron with the heat set to it's highest setting, and the steam at the halfway mark. Perhaps the unhappy customers did not have the iron hot enough. If I were in charge of improving this iron, I would put a bigger on/off button, and like others have said, a gauge to see how much water is in the tank. All in all, I am a happy customer. I reccomend sending off for the cd from Rowenta before purchasing. It really showcases what this baby does. LOVE IT.
I've owned it about nine months.
Major Design Defects Keep this Steamer on the Sidelines April 20, 2008

I can confirm what the other reviews have said.
Obviously, this iron doesn't have a clear tank, but what isn't readily apparent is that it also has no indication of the amount of water left. I'm forever running out of water in the middle of ironing. Refilling isn't as simple as adding water because the tank gets so hot that you have to let it cool first, or it will spray boiling water and steam all over the place.
I also call this iron the "ready, ready, ready... NOT ready" iron, because it shuts of the boiler for the steam tank, acting like it has steam ready, but then when you pick up the iron and press the steam button, water gushes out and the boiler light switches back on: "NOT ready".
Meantime, my hands are big enough that I'm forever bumping the temperature knob when I go to pick it up, and the stickers / labels seem to have loosened and are peeling off... as a result of heat.
The only positive comment I have is that, when this iron finally does heat up, the amount of steam that it generates is greater than a standard iron with a built-in tank. I would, however, suggest spending your money elsewhere.

I was so excited when I saw a Bloomingdales store demonstration of this item and bought it on the spot. What a disappointment. This iron leaks water, no matter what setting you put it on. I have ruined several clothing items, due to either water spots or burned water spots. Waste of money.

I returned this iron the day after I bought it. It leaks water no matter what setting it is on....leaks is too mild a word. It pours water...and the vertical steam option is laughable. It absolutely does NOT even relax the wrinkles in curtains or any other fabric. When I tried to iron on the low setting, white marks appeared on the fabric. There was nothing about this iron that pleased me. I called customer service and they went through the same things that the pamphlet in the box tell you to do. Nothing improved the iron.

I like the steam that the iron puts out, but if not careful, you will get lots of water marks. I also think that for the price of this iron it should have included a water level so that you can see with the water gets low. I also do not like the amount of time you have to wait for the iron to be ready (7 minutes or more). Not having to fill the tank so much is a plus when you have a lot of ironing to do. When using the right amount of steam it does a great job.
