Summary: All the glitters
Comment: When I bought the Black and Decker 2030 based on recommendations on this site, I was hoping that it would perform better than my 17 year old Norelco 725 steam iron which required that I spray the garment with water before ironing to get a good press. But when I compared the two (with the both on the highest steam setting), making a single slow pass over a linen shirt, the Norelco actually did better! The B&D burst of steam was impressive, but it wasn't enough to remove the wrinkles on its own. The B&D has its steam holes around the perimeter, leading me to try out the Rowenta DZ9080 which has them distributed more evenly. It has a larger plate and looks great. But using the same test, the Rowenta was the poorest performer. The Rowenta did have the best, finest, water spray. But like the B&D's, the Rowenta spray points straight ahead; you have to lift and tilt the iron down to spray the item, which then causes an unnecessary burst of steam.

Summary: Doesn't last!
Comment: I am very disillusioned with the concept buying a high end iron, especially a Rowenta iron. It just quit heating completely and suddenly within only 2 years of purchase. I was very pleased with the steaming ability of this iron and expected, at this over $100 price point, it would last a very long time. My cheap Black and Decker iron is still going strong after 10+ years! Of course, there is no local repair facilitiy in the Sacramento area. The nearest Rowenta repair facility in in the San Francsico Bay area. My calls to Rowenta consumer "Service" were unsatisfying. All they would do is send me a $15 gift certificate for toward the purchase of a new Rowenta iron!! Why would I continue to be a Rowenta customer???

Summary: THE WORST IRON!!!!!!
Comment: THIS IS THE WORST IRON I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I ALSO BOUGHT A SECOND ONE THINKING THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WAS A FLUKE BUT IT IS NOT. WILL NOT HEAT UP AFTER 4 MONTHS OF USE AND THE AUTO CUTOFF QUIT WORKING 2ND MONTH. BEWARE, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL.

Summary: You weigh the options
Comment: This is my second Rowenta. I did not learn the first time. My first Rowenta lasted about a year and a half. It did a fabulous job while it worked but obviously did not last long. To replace it, I purchased this Steam Advancer. Again, I was thrilled with the product, until it stopped heating after three months. I sent it to the Authorized Repair Center; it was under warranty and it finally came back to me after about a month and a half. Now the iron heated up but leaked all over the clothes. I sent it back to the Repair center two months ago; they are now telling me they are awaiting a replacement shipment and it should be in "by the end of the week" (I've called weekly since I sent the iron; no iron has been returned to me yet.) While I wait for the Rowenta, I'm using an old P&G workhorse that probably cost a little over $10 and has worked steadily for over twelve years. I paid over $120 for my Rowenta, and have been able to use it about a third of the time I've owned it (seven months). My first Rowenta lasted less than two years. You do the math.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great product, but a bit heavy
Comment: It's excellent and the settings are adjustable to avoid damaging the finest of fabrics. It's a bit heavy, which took some getting used to. Other than that, excellent for the price!

After two years of development, Rowenta has ironed out all the rough edges, creating the ultimate performance wrinkle-remover. Using the new Microsteam Platinum soleplate and Steam Advance System, this iron glides easily and delivers better, faster results on all types of fabric. One-year warranty. Model DZ9080.
