Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Since the first Rowenta iron in 1912, the company’s clothing-care products have been on the forefront of innovative technology. The 1600-watt Perfect Steam iron continues Rowenta’s exacting standards with top-shelf construction and truly helpful features. Designed to iron dry or with variable steam, the iron has fine-tunable settings that let you choose heat according to fabric type, then set the steam level. The Intra-Steam system pushes horizontal steam deep into fabric. The iron also steams vertically for hanging clothes and draperies. A steam-burst button lets you blast stubborn wrinkles, and a spray function spritzes fabric as you go. Equipped with LED indicator lights, the handle-mounted electronic temperature control indicates when the soleplate is ready, too hot, too cool, or in automatic shut-off mode. All controls are easy to set, sturdy in construction, and unlikely to slip.
The Perfect Steam comes with a platinum soleplate for effortless glide and incredible durability. It has a sleek teardrop shape, a full-length button channel, and an anti-drip design. Rowenta also equips the iron with three-way automatic shut-off: after 8 minutes if left vertically, 30 seconds if left horizontally, and 30 seconds if tipped over. Large and comfortable in the hand, the iron holds up to 13 ounces of water at a time in a translucent tank. The tank’s opening is among the cleverest on the market--a tidy lid pushes in for filling and releases for closure. The iron also comes with an anti-calc system to trap scale and deposits that could interfere with its performance. Measuring 12 by 5 by 6-3/4 inches, the Perfect Steam is made in Germany, and has a full one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
From the Manufacturer
The DX-9800 has been engineered around major technical innovations of the three core functions of an iron: heat, steam, and the soleplate. The Intra Steam system "pulses" the steam, creating the perfect cycle of steam and pressing. The Thermo Control system uses an electronic sensor that measures and maintains an even temperature in the soleplate. The Platinium soleplate combines outstanding glide and non-stick, non-scratch properties. Its stainless steel core coated with ultra-thin silicate coating for a tougher, smoother surface with excellent non-stick and non-scratch properties.
The Next Level in Irons
The revolutionary Intra Steam system forces pressurized steam deep into the garment, "pulsing" the steam at regular intervals for the perfect cycle of steam and pressing. The DX-9800 has a number of other features designed to make ironing easier and more successful. The iron’s Thermo Control is an advanced electronic thermostat for accurate control of soleplate temperature. Also, the Anti-Drip function helps prevent spitting and leaking when thermostat is on a low setting, while the Anti Calc function neutralizes harmful minerals, extending the life of the iron, and the burst of vertical steam feature provides effective wrinkle removal on all types of fabrics.
This iron, like all Rowenta irons, is ergonomically designed for comfort, with thumb grips and index finger grooves, and easily used by both left and right handed user,. Its new comfort handles is soft and resilient, with silicon rubber pads that provide support and relieve pressure at key contact points between hand and handle. The non-slip texture and pattern provides a firm grip for precision control.

Product Description
Glide over any fabric smooth as silk thanks to the silicate coating on the soleplate. Penetrate even heavy fabrics with the burst of steam function. Steam iron from a vertical position if you like. This iron also features a temperature control sensor - this means that if you set the dial for synthetics it will let you know with a colored signal when the iron is too cold, too hot, or just right for synthetics.

This is a fantastic iron!,
By Rick H. (Wall, SD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rowenta DX-9800 Perfect Steam Iron (Kitchen)
I iron 365 shirts a year. I don't mind ironing but this iron made it a joy to do! This is by far the best iron I have every used. It does a much better job than any iron I have tried. My shirts look better than they ever have. The heat of the soleplate is constant, it glides effortlessly and the amount of steam is great. I wondered if I should be spending this amount of money on an iron. After using the Rowenta DX-9800 for over a month, I am so happy that I did! It is a great value for the quality of the product. I like the weight of the iron and everything about it. I got used to it right away and enjoy ironing with it. If do a lot ironing or even a little bit, you will be very happy that you bought this iron. It is a very superior product. Rowenta should get an award for the excellence of the design of this iron.

Everything I expected and more,
By "nemmon3" (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rowenta DX-9800 Perfect Steam Iron (Kitchen)
I've had this iron for a couple of weeks now and am very impressed. It really does live up to its claims and dramatically cuts the time it takes to iron things. The price was a little daunting but I'm glad I bought it. There are numerous small details that have been improved upon that make this superior to any other iron I've seen. I recommend it highly.

Too bad,
This review is from: Rowenta DX-9800 Perfect Steam Iron (Kitchen)
I LOVE this iron when it works, great steam, nice weight, not bad looking, cuts ironing time considerably. After only 3 months however, it's kaput!! Rowenta needs to either redesign or dump the circuit they use for auto shut off. I've had 3 Rowenta irons and all three went belly up because of this feature. The feature they really need is reliability, especially in this price range. It's my personal opinion this iron should last a freakin lifetime. Anyway, so much for brand loyalty, 3 strikes, they're out for me.
