This is the iron I wanted from Rowenta to replace my previous one that gave up the ghost when it tumbled of the ironing board and I had to grab the chord to save it from crashing to the floor. It has a separate steam control so you can use steam with several settings. The one I mistakenly bought previously paired steam with specific settings. The iron is heft and flattens wrinkles in the first pass. My only regret is that it lacks a "purge" button that clears the vents. There is a process for doing that, but it appears to be more complicated than it was on my previous iron.

Very heavy- cord interferes with ironing-leaks-does glide well.

Switch part installed upside down/ Bring back #9280

I have enjoyed Rowenta irons for years. While this #9440 iron works okay, it is not as good as my previous Rowenta, the Steamforce #9280.The Steamforce # 9440 issues:1) the part for the switch for steam/no steam was installed upside down by the manufacturer. 2) The handle grip on the #9440 is not a smooth surface like the handle on the #9280 so it is not very comfortable to hold when ironing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed with this iron's performance

I am a quilter and I bought this iron to replace my previous two SteamForce irons, both of which I loved until they started leaking. I thought this iron would be it. But the ironing plate drags across the fabric and the button for steam under the handle is stiff and hard to use. And the larger top button is for spraying water, which I don't generally use. So I'm disappointed all around. I've always loved Rowenta irons and would buy my old blue SteamForce again, even though I've been through two of them in five years, both to severe leaking issues. But this iron is going back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

LOVE this iron! It puts out SO much steam with so many steam holes in the plate. I would have given it a 5 star rating except for the burst of steam button placement on the handle results in accidentally spraying at times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’m very pleased with this purchase. It’s obvious that the iron is well-made and built to last. I’ve been ironing my work clothes with this for a few weeks and could not be more pleased.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I think the irons in the past which were made in Germany were much better. This iron I believe is made in China. The plate is no longer polished for a smooth glide. It has a satin type unpolished plate. Companies seem to find a way to keep their price low but make the product cheaper. Instead of making a good product and just raise the price.But all in all it is still a good iron

Very nice heavy weight iron with excellent s team features. CAUTION, tends to be much hotter than previous Rowentas. Have ruined 2 garments by melting surface despite following directions.
I would recommend this to a friend!
