Product Description
You'll never have to worry about this Rowenta PowerPress iron spitting and leaking on your clothes with its anti-drip system that prevents leaking when the thermostat is on a low setting. Vertical steam setting allows you to iron in an upright position to remove wrinkles from hanging garments and drapes. Functions like steam burst and cool spray mist help with stubborn wrinkles. Features an INOX AIRGLIDE steel soleplate with extra steam holes, a "micro dimple" zone and a concentrated steam zone at the tip for hard-to-reach areas for effortless gliding. Features a 3-way automatic shutoff that switches iron off in 8 minutes if left vertically, and 30 seconds if left horizontally or tipped over. The large transparent water tank allows for fewer refills and a clear view of the water level. Self-cleaning system flushes out loose mineral deposits to ensure optimal performance. Anti-skid bumpers provide added stability and security when iron is in an upright position. Model DM 170.

Lousy , throw-away iron,

This review is from: Rowenta PowerPress Iron DM 170 (Kitchen)
Pros: generous water reservoir, smooth glide plate, plenty of steam holes. Cons: leaks, spits. Have over 25-yrs of pressing clothes of varying fabrics. Fourteen months ago I needed to buy a new iron. After reading a few reviews decided to purchase a Rowenta product. First 6 months of usage were great (followed instructions to a "T"). When compared to previously owned irons I actually pressed more clothes using the Rowenta product. Then the problems started to surface, leaks, spits, not enough steam produced. In my opinion Rowenta needs to revisit the drawing board. Rowenta has a serious water-type problem. The temp control dial is in a bad location. The steam feature can not be used outside the "red zone," high temp. I started out using tap water, then switched to half tap half cheap bottled water. Religiously used the "self clean" feature, AND emptied the reservoir of water, but the leaks continued. The degradation in performance after 6-months of usage is terrible, & does not warrant the high price. In my opinion, Rowenta's product is a very expensive throw-away iron! Would not purchase another Rowenta iron.

JUNK!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rowenta PowerPress Iron DM 170 (Kitchen)
This is without a doubt the worst iron I have ever had. I wanted a really good iron that didn't spit or leak. Rowenta is priced at the top, so I felt assured "you get what you pay for". I couldn't have been more wrong. I can't even keep water in the reservoir. You pour it in, and start to iron, and the water just leaks out. What a mess! Writing to the manufacturer is of no help. I just bought this, and because their product is defective, I have to send it to their repair center, AT MY COST. What a rip off!!!

Well worth the money,

My previous iron, a good standard issue Sunbeam fell of the ironing board and would not stop leaking. Thinking about the old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ I stood staring at the various irons at Target. The practical me wanted to just pick up another 20 or 30 dollar iron, its all I’ve ever used. I also remembered how those irons performed, not all that well. I finally decided to take the plunge.
After using sub par irons for a long time, I could not believe the night and day difference. The first thing I noticed is how it glides, almost hovers, over what you’re ironing. No more dragging the iron across, pulling the fabric with it! The steam is not going to fog up your glasses, but I don’t think it needs to gush out a cloud to work. If you really need the steam to combat out a nasty wrinkle, the steam button delivers a BLAST of steam that powers though the fabric (you can actually feel the iron trying to move).
Overall, this is a great iron and has made me a true believer in paying a bit more for a quality iron that does the job quicker and makes it much easier! If you can afford it, get this iron, its is very unlikely to disappoint. What you spend today, you will save in time and effort.
