Read the instructions fully. - This review is for the 1725 watt iron, without the cordreel, in the blue and white color, and it was purchased in November 2022. Overall, it's fine, but be aware of the following things: the different steam settings, having some common sense, the poorly-described self-clean "function", and the sole plate. The iron is simple to use: fill it with water, plug it in, set the temperature, and wait for it to heat. Once it's ready (i.e., the pilot light goes off), set the desired steam level, and start ironing. You've got three options for steam: off, "Eco", and max, and the switch has four positions. If you've got it set to steam, but nothing comes out, press the steam button. That'll clear out whatever might be clogging the holes in the plate. Then try ironing. Now for the steam switch: the first two are positions are basically off, and no steam will come out. The 'Eco' setting only kicks in at the third 'click' of the switch, and takes a second for steam to come out once the iron is horizontal and moving. The fourth position (all the way to the right) is max steam, which is exactly what it sounds like: a lot of steam for as long as the iron can sustain, before it needs to heat up again. Once the pilot light turns back on, don't press your luck, or else you might get water dribbling out toward the end of the cycle; set the iron upright and wait. Also, don't expect a lot of steam (or any at all) to come out at lower temperatures: expecting that just doesn't make sense. If you want to iron at low temperatures, and need moisture, use the built-in spray function before pressing your clothes. A lot of the "water leaks out!!" reviews probably don't realize that yes, if you've got the steam switch wide open, there's a valve that will let water through, and yes, that water (in liquid form) will dribble out of the sole plate because they've got a low temperature selected. About the self-clean "function": it's not a function, or a dial setting, or anything like that at all. It's a sequence of things you do, and the procedure is described toward the end of the manual. Lastly, the sole plate isn't smooth-shiny like my old Rowenta. I assume the new one is stainless steel just like the old one, but the new one has a matte and slightly textured surface that drags ever so slightly. It's not a big deal, but if you're expecting a mirror finish on the sole plate, this iron isn't it. The actual ironing performance: it works fine and gets the wrinkles out. For heavy and deep creases, no iron alone will solve that problem. Summary: The iron works well if you have some common sense about when to expect steam at high versus low temperatures, and exercise awareness with the steam switch; the self-cleaning function isn't really a function at all, but just a series of steps; and the sole plate has a slight texture. I iron at least once a week, so if this iron doesn't last, I'll update the review. May 2022 update: It's still working fine. If it doesn't start steaming right away after the iron is back in the horizontal position (and the steam switch is in the third or fourth position), I'll hit the "steam burst" button. Also, if you haven't ironed in a while, hit the button anyway but do it over a rag or towel so you don't spew mineral crud over what you actually want to iron. October 2023 update: Still going strong after weekly use. With semi-regular maintenance (the cleaning feature) and using the steam burst function to blow out any mineral build-up, this thing is working great. Looks like it's currently $80 which is a huge amount cheaper than what I bought it. Like Leonard from Community, I rate this a "buy". Review: Looks and feels like quality - After years of sewing and hating every iron I've ever owned, I finally broke down and paid a tidy sum for a good iron. I'm glad I did and am kicking myself for not doing this years ago. The first thing you notice is the weight. It feels heavier than the 3.2 lbs in the product description. No more "pressing", I let the iron do the job. It produces a serious burst of steam that'll take out the wrinkles out of just about anything. It heats up fast, before I've had time to get the fabric straightened out on the ironing board. And the cotton heat setting is TRULY a cotton setting, not the wimpy temperature of all my other irons. $99 seems like a lot for an iron, but if you want quality, this is it. ## Features - Powerful Steam: This clothes steamer iron delivers an impressive steam boost of up to 135 g/minute for stubborn creases and thick fabrics, with a continuous steam output up to 35 g/min for efficient ironing performance - Exceptional Coverage: A clothing steamer iron boasting the best steam distribution on the market* thanks to over 400 active holes, perfectly distributed on the soleplate - Variable Steam Settings: Variable steam settings of this clothes iron allow you to adjust the amount of steam produced to suit different fabrics and ironing needs.

Says I need to match amps when using extension cord** A: When it comes to electricity, an extension cord that is thicker has my wires and can carry more amperage/wattage. If you're extension cord is equal or thicker than the cord on your iron, you should be okay. **Q: Does this iron spray water as well as steam?** A: Hello James, Yes, the Rowenta Professional DW5280 does include a spray button as well as a steam button. **Q: Why can’t I find this model on the Rowenta website?** A: I heard it is not the real Rowenta version. They are supposed to fix that. **Q: Why are these made in china?** A: Probably because it’s cheaper to make them there. The quality sure has gotten cheaper, too. I switched to the Chi iron. It’s wonderful! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Irons and steams well; seems like it should last.

Rowenta is a good brand; this is my second. I sew custom drapes and the iron is fine in that the steam function is powerful. The water receptacle is a decent size and it’s not terribly heavy like my gravity feed iron. So all good there-but it spits. I have to exercise caution when using it on costly drapery fabric. As you can see from the photo, the iron left a brown residue on the cream colored fabric I’m using to make Roman shades. 😡 I don’t have time to try a bunch of irons to find one that doesn’t spit so I’ll keep this Rowenta, but I’ll only use it for ironing clothes ## Frequently Bought Together - Rowenta Iron Steamer for Clothes, Focus Stainless Steel Soleplate, 400 Microsteam Holes, Powerful Steam Iron, Lightweight, Leakproof, 1725 Watts - Bartnelli Classic Ironing Board with New Patent Technology | Made in Europe Iron Board with Patent Fast-Glide Zone, 4 Layer Cover & Pad, Height Adjustable, Safety Iron Rest, 4 Premium Steel Legs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/222522596-focus-excel-steam-iron-for-clothes-anti-drip-protection-iron](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/222522596-focus-excel-steam-iron-for-clothes-anti-drip-protection-iron) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
