Rowenta Travel Iron, Pro Compact Stainless Steel Soleplate Hand Held Steamer Iron for Clothes, 200 Microsteam Holes, 1000 Watts Ironing, Fabric Steamer, Dual Voltage, Mini Iron, Purple, DA1560

Needed something small I could keep in my room at home (around the size of a dorm room). Easy to put away, the handle locks into place easily and the button on the bottom to fold it back in isn’t easy to accidentally push so no fear of your hand flying down. It’s a great size, but due to the size the water container (the handle) isn’t super big and will probably need to be refilled often if you steam a lot of clothing. Heats up quick but takes a while to cool down (not a big deal for me, I just put it in the corner until it’s cool). The cord is a good length and easy to plug into the wall. It had a bit of a funky smell the first time I used it but I am assuming thats because, well, it was the first time I used it. Knocked out the wrinkles in my shirt real easy.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY A FRIEND WOULD REORDER. I DO NOT PUT WATER IN THIS SO NOT SURE ABOUT THE STEAM FEATURE. PERFECT SIZE FOR QUILT RETREATS. DOES NOT POWER DOWN SO DOES NOT AFFECT POWER IN OLDER LOCAITONS

5 solid stars!!!!! Powerful little guy! Best steamer I have ever used... AND IT'S A TRAVEL VERSION!?! YES! Took this on vacay and literally steamed several flowy dresses/skirts/blouses in minutes! BUY IT!

Received this & tried it today. So far, pretty happy with it. It was easy to assemble although the directions were a bit confusing but common sense carried me through. It heats up quickly and worked well to remove wrinkles from lightweight fabric but not so great on heavier fabrics, including oxford cotton shirts - helped but required extra work & finger "ironing." No leaking & easy to fill. Water tank is pretty small but easy to refill. Overall, good for my needs, but if you're looking for something to replace having to send dress shirts to the dry cleaners, you'll have to look elsewhere and probably spend a lot more.

Very powerful. Works well. I’m am surprised it is so effective. A bit heavier than expected but seems like a good quality product. First use very satisfactory.

I had high hopes for this Rowenta Travel Iron, expecting the quality the brand is usually known for, but I was quite disappointed. As someone who travels frequently, a reliable compact iron is essential, and unfortunately, this one didn't meet my needs.Firstly, the heating was inconsistent. It took a long time to heat up, and even on the highest setting, it struggled to remove wrinkles from basic cotton shirts. I found myself going over the same areas repeatedly, which was frustrating and time-consuming, especially when trying to get ready in a hotel room.The "Pro Compact" design is indeed small and lightweight, which is a plus for packing. However, the small size also translates to a tiny soleplate, making ironing larger items like dresses or pants quite tedious.Another issue I encountered was with the steam function. It was weak and sporadic, barely making a difference in tackling stubborn creases. I even followed the instructions carefully regarding water levels, but the performance didn't improve.Overall, while the portability is a selling point, the lackluster heating power and ineffective steam function make this Rowenta Travel Iron a poor choice for anyone who needs reliable wrinkle removal on the go. I ended up having to rely on hotel irons anyway, defeating the purpose of bringing my own. I would not recommend this product.

I use this for costume design, specifically when I need to apply heat transfers on clothing. It can fold up and put in it's bag when not in use. So far, it's worked great for my application.

This is my second Rowenta Travel Iron, and I like it very much. I bought my first travel iron several years ago due to its lightweight size and the quantity of steam holes it has. I am still amazed at the amount of steam this lightweight iron produces, and it is does an excellent job of pressing flat the seams on all of my quilting projects, as well as removing wrinkles from our clothing and the top of our flat bed sheets.I have learned through the years that if you have what is considered Hard Tap Water that the buildup of limescale deposits on the internal components of your Rowenta iron will eventually clog the steam vents and reduce the efficiency and lifespan of your iron. Rowenta USA recommends a mix of half untreated Tap Water and half Distilled Water for those with Hard Water. It works wonders!
