Rowenta Professional DX8800 Iron with Auto Shut-off

Pros: Vertical steaming, anti-drip, glides over fabric, uses tap water

Cons: Pricey, heavy, some people who sew might not like auto shut-off feature

The Bottom Line: This is a great iron and it steams like a champ in both horizontal and vertical positions. Expensive but worth it!

Review: Not only do I need a good iron for ironing my clothes, but I also do a lot of sewing which requires me to iron extensively. I had an old cheapy iron for years and years because I just could never justify spending the $100 on the Rowenta that I really ...

Pros: Polished stainless soleplate, plenty of steam, solid feel, even mist spray

Cons: None so far

The Bottom Line: This is a great iron, everything about it works flawlessly. If it wasn't $100, I probably would have gotten one earlier, but it's worth the price.

Review: I put this iron on my wedding registry, figuring an upgrade from an old Sunbeam would be nice. Let me tell you, it actually makes me a more efficient ironer. The first thing I noticed about this professional series Rowenta was the polished stainless ...

Pros: Reasonably priced, professional quality product.

Cons: Temperature dial is sticky.

The Bottom Line: This is the iron for anyone that needs to press something at least once a week. No chance for scorching, or leaving behind streaks.

Review: As a professional seamstress on a limited budget I was thrilled to find this wonderful iron. With the efficiency of a butler this iron accomplishes what ever you ask it to do. With a setting for cleaning that keeps you from getting something unexpected ...

Pros: Great job when it works.

Cons: Quality of the appliance itself is poor.

Review: I was so excited about how well this iron worked until, ALMOST two years later, it wouldn't work. I'm sorry, for the price, I should get much more use than that. I just bought a $30 Black and Decker with a $20 rebate to use until I can get this Rowenta ...

Pros: great looking

Cons: too angry, read comment field

Review: This is the second rowenta iron I have had. Like the first one, the automatic shut off stinks. It keeps turning itself off and won't come back on. I must unplug it and let it cool off. I cannot get thru one pair of pants before this happens. It is 2 ...

Pros: When it worked, it did a good job. Good steam and plenty of it.

Cons: Automatic shut off will no longer turn on!

Review: I bought a Rowenta because I thought it was The Best. Well, it was fine for about two years of MINIMUM use. Then, one day...poof! Its automatic shutoff has shut off for good. Now what? Send it off for repairs? With the amount of time I spend ...

Pros: Fantastic steamer when it works - even if only a few months.

Cons: Breaks down quickly and repairs are worthless.

Review: This is my second - and last - Rowenta Professional! Because I am a quilter I use my iron constantly and thoroughly enjoyed all of the features including the steam. Unfortunately, this lasted for about 6 months. Then I could get steam only for about a ...

Pros: Largest water reservoir; Huge amounts of steam; Glides over fabrics getting toughest wrinkles out.

Cons: Leaks water and spits after 3 months. Not worth the price! 

The Bottom Line: Do not waste your money. This iron leaks and spits after a few months. It may catch on fire.

Review: This Rowenta does iron like a dream and produces tons of steam--for only 3 months. I purchased this iron on January 27, 2009 and I had to replace it today, April 26, 2009!  I purchased this iron because I do love Rowenta irons. They iron out ...

Pros: Steam is superior, unmatched to any other iron

Cons: Unreliable, auto shut off stinks!

Review: This is the first and last Rowenta iron I will buy. Mine lasted 2 years w/average use. Now, after 10 seconds of use, the auto shut-off engages. The only way to reset the auto shut off is to unplug it and plug it back in. Of course, you're are doing ...
