Rowenta Focus DZ5080

This is one of the best irons I have ever used. The only thing I have against this iron is that if you use a lot of steam (which I love and use a lot), you need to refill the tank more often. Everything… else is wonderful about this Rowenta iron. I always knew Rowenta was the best (this one is made in Germany) but I didn't know it was going to be THIS great. It doesn't spit out water (which I had read on some reviews), it is heavy but not too heavy and it irons everything very smoothly and quickly. My husband's shirts haven't looked like this in a long time! I am very happy with this iron and recommend for anyone!

My old Rowenta was a solid workhorse. Unfortunately the plug cracked and I have not found someone to replace it. I figured since I had a great experience with my first Rowenta I would purchase another. From… the very first use, I was not happy. It heats up too hot and melted the blouse I wanted to iron. If it isnt set at the minimal low setting to get steam it sticks on the clothes and before you know it you have melted material. I think the only material it has not messed up is jeans. I should have returned this iron after the first use, but my busy husband tossed the box and receipts the day I got it and of course it was trash pick up day. I will now look for another brand of iron to replace this one. I do prefer one that heats up fast and has great steam but to ruin clothes as much as this one did they lost me as a customer. Think very thoroughly if you have delicate clothes to iron and are entertaining the thought to purchase this one. Along with the receipt for the iron I wish I had the receipts for the clothes ruined and I would have sent the package to Rowenta for a refund.
