Rowenta irons

I know lots of sewers have this brand. What makes them so great? I've never had one and am curious about what makes a really good iron?

Re: What makes a really good iron

 Dear alternator,

The first thing that I like about this iron is that it is made in Germany so you know that it is a well made product.

The features that I like about the Rowenta DW9080 are its size. It is not a light iron so it is easier to press the fabric. It also has many vents which are small and help distribute the flow of steam evenly across the sole of the plate.

There is a steam bursts feature with a separate button. In addition you can steam burst while holding the iron vertically. You can increase the flow of steam a bit more with a trigger button under the handle when pressing. 

This iron does not leak water when in use and has a self cleaning button. You can also use regular tap water as long as it is not hard water. There is also a digital display that show which fabric goes with which heat setting.

I hope this helps you select your next iron.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
