Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Providing a smooth nonstick surface with excellent glide, this iron features a thin stainless-steel soleplate with 400 microsteam holes to deliver perfect steam distribution. The unit combines electronic temperature sensors and controls with LED lights in an easy-to-use system. Red signals too hot, yellow signals too cool, and green signals an ideal temperature for the fabric. In addition, its high-precision tip delivers steam to hard-to-reach areas like seams, collars, pockets, and around buttons. Choose the powerful burst of steam option to help iron out stubborn wrinkles, or select variable steam that matches the right amount of steam to the fabric type. Even more, the vertical steam function allows the iron to be used in an upright position to remove wrinkles from drapes and hanging garments. For safety, a three-way automatic shutoff function turns the iron off after eight minutes if vertical and after 30 seconds if horizontal or tipped over. The iron also provides a self-cleaning system that removes loose mineral deposits and flushes out impurities for clean steam performance. Other highlights include a soft-grip handle for comfort, a large soft-touch rear for extra stability when set on its heel, a large 10-ounce water tank, a covered filling inlet, an anti-drip system, and an easy-to-use precision dial. The 1700-watt iron measures 10-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

My first ever review of an appliance...,
By
This review is from: Rowenta DZ5080 Focus Stainless-Steel 1700-Watt Iron (Kitchen)
I've never been prompted to write a review of any product that I've purchased over the years, but the Rowenta Focus iron has changed all that. After 50-plus years of ironing, I think I've tried every iron on the market. And I've been dissatisfied with them all. My latest, a Black and Decker, remained on the same setting (the hottest), because it was NEVER hot enough. I wear a lot of cotton and linen, which, of course, means a lot of wrinkles. I've misted and starched (when appropriate) ahead of time, all to no avail. I was just about ready to go back to an all polyester wardrobe when I asked a tailor in my hometown to recommend a good iron. Without hesitation, she said, "Rowenta". So I read all the reviews I could find, and decided to take the plunge.
WOW!!! First of all, with my old Black and Decker, I'd have to iron a sleeve or panel of fabric in three or four passes. But with the Rowenta, it only took one pass to remove the wrinkles, even on linen. I quickly realized that my ironing time would be cut in half! And the narrow tip for getting inbetween buttons is genius-inspired. And the STEAM!!! For those who've said it consumes a lot of water, well---duh?? It TAKES a lot of water to produce that much steam. If you've had it, as I did, with poorly fuctioning equipment, treat yourself to this product. You may just find yourself having a love affair with an appliance. What a joy!!

Stay away - - terrible iron after they redesigned it without changing the model name.,
This review is from: Rowenta DZ5080 Focus Stainless-Steel 1700-Watt Iron (Kitchen)
Would give this a negative rating if possible. They changed the electronics and the LED readouts a few months back without altering the model name. The LEDs are no longer on the rotating dial, coinciding with this revision's terrible leakage problem. Went through 5 irons from 2 stores before we gave up on this particular model. Two separate employees at Bed Bath and Beyond said all the irons were 'coming back' because they all leaked, but not happening with the cheaper or more expensive models. Same thing at Macy's. Hours before we arrived to return our second iron, another customer had just returned her second iron. Appears that the iron becomes hot, and then doesn't maintain the temperature: so it's fine at first then progressively leaks and some irons begin to sound like percolators. Leak so badly that the ironing board cover becomes saturated in enormous spots and has to be dried out. Occurs with the very first use out of the package. This may alternatively have something to do with the steam gauge not truly being adjustable: the lever doesn't stay put in any position other than the extremes of 'off' or 'full'. We finally gave up on this model and got the 'Professional' which was more expensive but works perfectly - - absolutely no problems. The re-designed 'Focus' is clearly junk.

A steam machine,
By
This review is from: Rowenta DZ5080 Focus Stainless-Steel 1700-Watt Iron (Kitchen)
I like to use a lot of steam when I iron, and the Focus comes up to temperature fast and makes great evenly distributed steam. The automatic steam function works pretty well and is easy to use, but I tend to ad a bit more as much because it makes ironing more fun as any useful reason.
This iron did a spectacular job on my more delicate silk shirts as well as making quick work of rumpled kahkis. The heat seems more evenly distributed than the Black and Decker i was using, and everything about the steam is superior. The narrow tip makes the area around buttons noticably easier. The ONLY issues I have with the Focus is that it doesn't have an on/off button (it does have a great three way auto off feature which I tested to verify for safetys sake). It sometimes draws an arc when plugging and unplugging it which can be hard on outlets after extended use. It also will drip a little durring longer sessions of use. Overall very highly recomended.
