My wife bought this to free us from the cord, which I frequently got tangle when the iron was extended to the end of the ironing board. What a blessing, I thought, until I realized I could not see the water level with the water chamber, which is made of opaque plastic. Very difficult to add water when one cannot see the level of the water in the container to which water is being added. Also, there needs to be some refinement of the parking situation; it is a more than a little awkward getting the bottom/back of the iron into slotted base that is not visible. Other than that, it works well and is easy to use; and, there is no cord to get tangled up. Just so you know, I actually attached a small rock to the cord of our other iron to cause it to go back over the end of the board, if extended to the middle of the board or even to the very end. The dropping rock is what stimulated my wife to look for an alternative:) She tells me there is no other cordless iron on the market today.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad to hear that you find the iron easy to use and appreciate its cordless design. We also appreciate your comments regarding the water level visibility and the iron's placement on the base, as they help us identify areas for improvement.
Too many issues: The iron has to constantly be placed "into" the stand/holder because it can not stand on its own If I just have to put it down for for a quick pull on the garment/material, I have to fit it back into its holder. If you are ambidextrous like me, I have to keep switching hands to put into holder. Holder gets filled with steam and wets the plastic and the Iron itself. The constant recharging is a pain. Bulky holder has shorter cord so you still have to be close to outlet. Regret buying this version. Save your self a headache and but another version.

We’re sorry to hear the Freemove Force hasn’t met your expectations. We understand how the need for frequent recharging, the holder design, and the cord length can make ironing less convenient. We appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and we’ll pass your comments along to our team.
This iron steams great on the base and then leaves a pool of brackish water in the base that ruins everything it touches. The non steam does not even get hot enough to remove a wrinkle. Cordless is nice but only if it works.. Worst iron ever!

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Freemove Force. We understand how frustrating it must be to have issues with water leaking from the base and with the iron’s performance. This certainly isn’t the experience we want for our customers. We appreciate you taking the time to share these concerns, and your feedback will be shared with the appropriate team.
After removing from the base, it doesn’t stay hot for to long

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Freemove Force isn’t staying hot as long as you expected after being removed from the base. We understand how this can make ironing less convenient, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
Love all Rowenta products, but if I'm being truthful, it's hard to keep remembering to put it back on its base........it doesn't stay hot all that long. I'm trying to get used to it.

Love it! I love the no cord feature on the iron itself. Worked wonderfully when pressing clothes! You have plenty of time to press, put iron on charger as you move your item. I would highly recommend this iron.
