Steam Force Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron for Clothes 400 Microsteam Holes, Cotton, Wool, Poly, Silk, Linen, Nylon 1800 Watts Portable, Ironing, Garment Steamer DW9440

I'm super happy with this purchase!!!! I had to replace my very old reliable Shark iron that died. Before purchasing this one I purchased and returned many different irons (brands like Singer, Shark, Rowenta and two no name brands) all of them did not get hot enough. I do a lot of sewing and quilting so heat is very important for pressing seams and getting crisp lines. It gets super hot and has a nice plate to keep clean. Steam function is nice too, but I don't need it very often with this iron because the iron gets super hot. The cord is not as long as I would like but its manageable. Hoping this one lasts.

The iron seemed to be great, but first of all we’ve ordered it from uk has US plug. Then it has stopped working after one month

Clear instructions were not there that we can use in UK. Since the plug 🔌 is different from UK . Tried with compatible adapter, works for 10 -15 mins and goes off looking for the right cable for UK it would be great if the seller can suggest.

Very good and has powerful steam!

These are my first impressions and I’ll update with any new info. First, this iron is a behemoth. It’s large, and with 1850 watts, very powerful. The burst of steam is ejected with such force, you better make sure your hand is nowhere near it, lest you get a scald. I wear a lot of linen and ironing with a regular iron takes forever. The wrinkles fell away effortlessly with this one. I was able to iron delicate synthetics on low setting with equal ease. The downside of the size is that it doesn’t fit in my ironing board / iron holder! My old iron rattled around with plenty of room. This iron is huge! The water tank is over 11 oz and is easy to fill which is a good thing because with the amount of steam it generates, you go through a lot of water. I ironed 12 blouses and went through 3 tanks of water. There is also a calcium filter for hard water. There is no digital display for temperature or steam settings, just manual dials which suits me fine (less electronics to break down.) This appears to be just one of two Rowenta steam irons made in France (the other being the Steam Force Pro). All others are made in China. Rowenta needs to be more clear on this fact. I never thought I’d spend $150 on a steam iron but I didn’t want another cheap made in China appliance that’ll die in a few months. I am hopeful this one, being made in France, will last a few years (fingers crossed).
