Product Description

The DA1560 is a compact iron with all the benefits of a full sized Rowenta. Powerful steam is generated at a constant rate for optimal efficiency with a burst of steam button to remove tough wrinkles. The microsteam stainless steel soleplate has a precision tip for reaching narrow edges, seams and collars. The compact iron has a full range thermostat for use on all fabric types, and vertical steam capability to remove wrinkles in hanging garments. A transparent tank holds over 2-ounce of regular tap water, and the handle folds flat for storage. Ideal for travel, a dual voltage switch ensures that the iron is powerful at 120 or 230-volt. Travel pouch included.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rowenta Travel Iron, a candid report, July 9, 2010

This review is from: Rowenta DA1560 Classic 1000-Watt Compact Steam Iron with 400 Hole Stainless Steel Soleplate (Kitchen)

Rowenta Travel Iron DA1560 purchased on Nov. 16th 2009

Good Points:
1. It is very compact and lightweight. Easy on the wrists. Easy to empty.
2. It has the vertical steam feature.
3. It has dual voltage for foreign travel 120v / 240v.
4. Comes with its own zippered durable storage pouch.


Bad Points:
1. It has a microsteam stainless steel sole plate of 200-holes instead of 400-holes. Its tiny "burst of steam" is nowhere near the power of the locomotive, full-sized professional Rowena iron. It never pressed my cotton clothes well.

2. No 360 degree cord rotation. Always awkward ironing.

3. No spray mist feature. Bring your own spray bottle.

4. Small 2 oz. water reservoir means refill often. Good for two shirts.

5. Yikes! No automatic safety shut off.

6. Heating unit died before warranty ended. Short life span, less than a year.

7. Made in China, not Germany.

I quilt and go to classes with others. Everyone who has used this iron has been impressed. For the small size (great for hauling to classes) it performs as well as full sized units. Instead of always bringing out the big iron, this is nice for getting into those hard corners and is still good on big surfaces.

After my old Rowenta travel iron died, I wanted another one. This one is great! I use it all the time when ironing fabric for quilting. My large Rowenta sits in the closet; this one is so much easier on my wrists and hands. Also, the myriad of steam holes is very nice.
