3.0 out of 5 stars
Drip, drip, drip arrrrrrgh!, August 26, 2004
This review is from: Rowenta DM160 ActiPress Iron (Kitchen)
I bought into the whole Rowenta name thing. I got the Rowenta Actipress home, read the directions, re-read the directions (I've never paid so much for an iron in my life, wanted to get it right). Yes, stainless steel soleplates are lovely and glide and hover all over your clothes. But, as I finished the final sleeve of my hubby's XL Linen shirt ...drip, Oh did I hit the mist button, no checked that, drip, drip, leak, drip. Before the ironing was over 2 almost finished linen shirts had to go into the laundry again because of the water marks ugh! I HATE that! So, I returned the Rowenta and got the T-Fal diffusion iron also with 1400 watts, approx. the same weight, and a nice smooth soleplate that emits the same amount of steam for HALF the price and NO DRIPS! By the way, with the Rowenta I tried everything in the directions, turning up the heat, using tap water- then using half and half as the directions advise if you have hard water --nothing helped this thing just drips and leaks.

Terrific Value and Quality, May 14, 2005
This review is from: Rowenta DM160 ActiPress Iron (Kitchen)
I got this iron a week ago and wish I had more ironing to do! I had been using an iron that I have had for about 10 years and boy should I have bought this one a long time ago! I used to dread ironing. This iron has me searching for more wrinkled clothes to iron!<br /> <br /> It is lightweight, easy to use. Very smooth ironing and perfect steam control. The burst of steam function works wonders for ironing in creases -- and eliminates the need for spray starch or sizing spray.<br /> <br /> It has a self clean function that, although I have not had it long enough to need yet, will be a great feature to have!<br /> <br /> I definitely recommend this to anyone who hates to iron and needs a new iron!

no vertical steam, December 1, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Rowenta DM160 ActiPress Iron (Kitchen)
I purchased this iron at Target a month ago. When I first used it the steam button didn't give a burst of steam. I exchanged it for another one thinking the first one was defective. I am still having a steam problem. When I push the steam button nothing happens. Other wise the iron is great. I am dissapointed I don't have vertical steam and am considering returning it for a different type of iron.
