Customer Reviews of Rowenta DG5030 Pressure Iron & Steamer
Customer Rating:   Summary: Don't buy it! Comment: We have owned this iron for about a year; bought it from Amazon. When it worked, it was great, especially for doing lots of ironing at once. But, it has had a chronic leaking problem, with water seeming to end up on the floor right under where I am ironing so I invariably dragged a just ironed sleeve through a puddle of water. Lack of tank gauge window was not a big deal, and you needed to keep it full for good results. However, today the switch went out and it is dead. Horrible product! Customer Rating: Summary: Very disappointed Comment: After doing without an iron for many years, I bought this iron on the strength of the Amazon reviews. But I've been extremely disappointed. The iron sputters all the time, you can't see how much water is left, it's scary to refill if you've used the iron recently (you have to make sure to expel all the steam). Moreover, the instructions are lousy. I mistakenly thought I was getting what I paid for, and I've never before paid for such an expensive iron. Customer Rating: Summary: Just as good as my Sargent Steam Machine Comment: I own a large steam machine that cleans everything. I have had it for years and love it. It came with an iron attachment that just broke. I contacted the company but they no longer make parts for my older machine and I would need to spend $250 to buy a new iron or $400 for a standalone iron. I knew I wanted an iron that had pressurized steam because my other machine was fabulous and fast. Instead of springing the extra money for that brand I decided to try this iron. I had nothing to lose, I could just return it if I didn't like it. It came today and I have ironed all morning (I was behind). I have found it to be just as good as my steam machine iron attachment and it seems to sputter less water. I have only used it once so it may not be a fair judgement but as for pure ironing ability, it is fabulous. I was spoiled before because the steam machine cut my ironing time by 60-75%. I was sceptical that this could do the same but so far it is keeping up. Ironing with a regular iron is like going back to dial-up internet after having high speed. It is painful. Before, I never ironed until I needed to wear something because it was such a chore. Now I iron almost everything (no sheets or socks). My husband has to have a shirt everyday and I live 20 minutes from a dry cleaner so I took on the task and it is no problem to keep up. My children and I look more polished and being slightly overweight, it helps me feel more confident to look put together with ironed clothes. My husband also has some skin sensitivities to cleaners and chemicals. The pressurized steam makes it so I don't need to use starch. They certainly aren't as stiff as they would be with starch but his shirts look as crisp. I love it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great iron, but the lack of a water level is its downfall Comment: I like the iron. It does a great job on even the gentlest of fabrics! Though, I do iron in large quantities and the lack of a water level is the product's downfall. I followed the instructions on how to refill the chamber while in use, but it still was dangerous and not worth it. I used up whatever steam was left in the unit, then let it cool and unplugged it too. According to the rather simple directions, this should have sufficed. Though, when slowly unscrewing the cap, a loud shriek came out of the unit and nearly burned me. Now, I've worked with professional models as a tailor over the years, but this was the worst near accident that I've ever had. Granted, this may have been my own fault, but I clearly did what I had to do and again, there was no way to tell how much steam and or water was left. I find myself using this iron for only part of my ironing until deciding to revert back to my old reliable one. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product Comment: This iron is perfect for my purposes - quilting. My only reservation is that there should be a see thru window to determine how much water is in the tank. Other than that, I think it's great. More Reviews Do alot of laundry?

Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Keen cooks may want to take advantage of multi-function ovens - usually aimed at the top end of the market. As well as traditional cooking, fan or fan-assisted cooking and grilling, these ovens offer up to nine further functions. These include: Top element only (browning), bottom element (final cooking of pastry dishes or pizzas), fan and bottom element (delicate cooking), fan only (thawing). Choosing Appliance -> Stainless steel bowls These are the best all purpose bowls for a multitude of applications. Choose a wide range of sizes (be sure to get a large bowl for whipping egg whites and whipped cream). In general, the heavier the bowl, the higher quality. Rowenta DG5030 Pressure Iron & Steamer
