Before this iron, I had a basic one - nothing special. I figured it was time to replace it, so I bought this Rowenta. Let me tell you, this is on a whole other level. It has a powerful steam boost, so I can iron any item made of any thick fabric (and I often forget things in the dryer). Plus, the steam is distributed evenly thanks to the large number of steam vents. It works well on delicate fabrics. The vertical steaming feature is awesome. It’s powerful and heats up quickly. I especially liked the self-cleaning feature - the iron removes limescale on its own and doesn’t get clogget over time.

I’ve been using the Rowenta PRO MASTER Steam Iron DW8080 for several weeks, and it’s excellent. The iron heats up quickly and produces powerful, consistent steam that removes wrinkles effortlessly, even on thick fabrics. The design feels ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold during long ironing sessions, and the materials feel durable and high-quality. Safety features like auto shut-off give peace of mind, and cleaning/maintenance is easy. The weight is well-balanced — heavy enough to glide smoothly but not tiring.
