I have been using Rowenta irons exclusively for the last 30 years. No other iron can match the steam power of a Rowenta. My last iron worked for close to 8 years (longer than usual for them), but recently started turning off randomly while using so I purchased a new one. This model is not as good: in addition to being TOO big and unwieldly, it does not steam up as well - while conversely going through water more quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was to replace an older Rowenta model that finally gave up and rusted out. The steam power and high heat on this iron is superb. It is quite heavy so it presses well. It seems to hold more water than the older models, and so far it has not had any drips. There is an uncomfortable ridge on the handle from mismatched plastic parts, but it is a taller handle and you no longer hit the temperature dial inadvertently with your knuckles as with the old model. I wish they would move the temperature dial. Be aware that the broad base while convenient for stability means it will not fit into the standard iron rest on a Rowenta ironing board anymore.

Worst iron I’ve ever owned. This iron is so heavy that I dread ironing with it. And in fact it’s so heavy I dropped it. Buyer beware.
I even called and they told me since I dropped it they can’t help me.
Awful all around.

I was sad to say goodbye to my first Rowenta iron that I used regularly for at least 25 years, Like my first, I purchased the iron second from the top. It’s a bit larger and heavier but functionally is substantially improved from the first. My old iron had a shot of steam, which I used instantly, but my

It's understandable that a manufacturer needs to find new places to build their products to keep costs down, but the challenge there is maintaining quality. Between the Rowenta I owned before and this one, there was a noticeable difference. The temperature selector felt cheap, the steam didn't come out as smoothly, or as consistently and it just didn't iron as well as my old one. While this is still a good iron, I think I will consider other brands the next time I purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Replaced my 20 year old Rowenta with this unit. The improvements are, probably unsurprisingly, impressive. I use my iron primarily to press fabrics and garments for home sewing. The Steamforce emits powerful amounts of steam across the entire sole plate, including the tip. It heats up fast and stays quite hot. There is an auto shutoff to manage, which makes it less than ideal for sewists, but it reheats quickly. The water tank is fairly well sized to the steam emitted, although it could be larger. It’s kind of awkward to fill. While the overall construction isn’t quite as hefty or sturdy feeling as my 20 year old retired Rowenta, I’ll take the performance of the new iron any day.

I left my old Rowenta on overnight and it caught fire the next day. Fortunately I was home when 8 smoke alarms went off so I picked it up and took it outside. I purchased the similar iron to what I had. It's a heavier iron with upgraded features. Works just like it is supposed to. It looks good. I unplug it when not in use to be sure it is off. I recommend it as high quality and all I need.

I had a Rowenta Iron for years, but it started to leak and I needed to replace it. The Rowenta replacement Iron does not hold up to the former one, it does not get hot enough and the dial is difficult to turn to the desired settings. Not too happy!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
