Rowenta Poor Quality-Automactic Shut Off, September 16, 2009The Rowenta DX 8800 has a quality issue. I purchased this iron in January, 2009. It randomly shut off after only two weeks. The iron was replaced by Amazon in February , 2009. It is now September, 2009 and… the new iron is again randomly shutting off. I understand that the iron can be repaired under warranty but the repair can take up to two months. The iron is fine when it works. I will not purchase a Rowenta again because of the poor quality.
Rowenta Irons LEAK, September 10, 2009Water everywhere. Now it's junk.
rowenta professional iron, August 31, 2009Nothing But Trouble, July 29, 2009Leaks Poor Customer Service. Company wants me to produce a receipt. Like I Stole It. Expensive to repair. Company has only 3 service centers in the country, which means an arm and a leg to mail. Not… working after 1.5 years I followed all usage/cleaning instructions and still problems. Do Not Buy, unless you want an expensive heavy paper weight. My $20 S.B. is still going strong after 5+ years. It's simple and more importantly it works.
Rowenta DZ - 8800 1750- Watt Professional Iron, July 12, 2009I purchased this Rowenta iron a year ago,and it leaked from the first day I used it. I have put up with it for a year, and finally I have had it! An expensive iron should not leak. When I made enquires… about getting it fixed, it was very complicated and frustrating. I have used it for a year and it still leaks. It has gotten worse with use. I am sending the iron back to Rowenta with my receipt and experience. This was very disappointing to say the least. I am sorry I put up with it for a year.
