Paid extra for more suped-up version (made in France vs China), and this thing LEAKS when using steam and it's brand new! My old one I'd had for 25 years and only recently started leaking.
We love our SteamForce+ steam Iron, only concern my wife has is the weight of the iron. Keep in mind my wife is nearly 5 foot, 107 lbs! We've always had Rowenta irons and only complaint has been leaking water after owning for a period of time which can be very annoying, this iron so far hasn't leaked!
This is a solid iron, steams well. I just wish it got a little hotter and the soleplate was larger and came to a smaller point like the old Steam Force.
I have had Rowenta irons for many years! What a great product! just recently had the Rowenta Professional iron and can’t give enough rave reviews, I just replaced it with the Steam Forced iron. So far it’s done a good job. I miss the clip on the cord to help better with storing when not in use. I’m not sure I like the steam burst button’s position yet, but sure I will get used to it in time. With all things new and not do familiar, it takes time to get use to. I do hope that this iron does not leak as the professional did with long term use.
I love this iron! Lots of steam and gets hot enough. I have been buying Rowenta irons since the early 1990's. As a professional seamstress, I use my iron all day. I will continue to buy Rowenta irons in the future. Thank you for a great product.
This is my third Rowenta iron in over 20 plus years. My second one fell off a cheap wobbly ironing board and met its demise. Still good enough to go to Goodwill. So starting a new era with a new heavier ironing board and this Rowenta. Lots of steam, easy to use, if a tad heavier than my older iron. Definately a quality product!
