Rowenta Freemove Cordless Auto Off 400-Holes Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron, Blue, 1 - 1830007108

I’ve just ironed 15 pieces of cotton flannel for a baby quilt for my coming granddaughter. Never having had a cordless iron before, but only using Rowenta irons for the past 25 years, I was deeply concerned with the bad reviews. It was unlike me not to read reviews prior to ordering, but I was in a hurry and thought I cd get by bc of the name brand. Only AFTER I ordered did I start reading reviews, and just knew it wouldn’t be working properly and wd be exchanging with a Panasonic. Well so far so good! I’m starting to wonder if ppl read the manual bc the trigger like black lever under the handle produced more steam than anyone cd want! This is what I did, 1) fill with water, place in the base, max temp, then plug the base in (will flash green in the back) 2) when it stops flashing, turn the black lever in front to steam🌧 3) iron as usual. When you want steam, pull the black lever under the handle...tons of steam. When your done needing steam, let go of black lever...no steam 4) place iron in base, reposition fabric, pick up iron and start again! 5) when finished, unplug, pour out water, place black lever in front back to center position so it won’t leak water, and place back on base. It honestly was easy peasy! Rowenta didn’t let me down! I shoulda known hahaha! Pic#2 black steam lever under handle Pic #3 lever in front

It was very loud. Sounded like a waffle maker when ready to use but kept going over constantly. The iron never got hot and I ironed over fabric at least 8-9 times, even using the steam function and it still kept the fold in the fabric. I need something that will let my fabric be flat and ready to cut. Rowenta usually is a terrific iron; however, this one may have been defective since it never got hot. I did return it with no hassle.

A significant amount of research was done before deciding to buy a cordless iron, so, I'll skip over all of the caveats of these irons in general.The biggest issue I have with this item is when the power goes out.When the power goes out, the unit powers itself on while sitting in the cradle.So, suddenly you smell burning.After about the 5th time this has alarmed the house, we now know its because this device more or less defaults to 'on and hot'.For quilting, the amount of time it stays hot before needing to be placed back on the base seems to be usable... for now...

This is a nice, solid iron. The steam feature works very well. However, if you use an iron for extended periods, this is not the iron for you. It will only stay at peak power for less than a minute before you have to put it back in the cradle. I am a seamstress and found it frustrating that I could not, for example, press an entire hemline without recharging. In all fairness, it recharges within a few seconds, but for my needs this is not working for me.

I bought this Rowenta iron because I needed a cordless iron. My first Rowenta cordless iron didn't work well, but I decided to give it another chance and bought a second exactly same one. Since Rowenta is a good product, I decided to purchase this brand instead of a Panasonic cordless iron which is another good brand and which I had previously. However the iron beeps intermittently and is very annoying at times especially if I am working late at night. I have others in my household and even they can hear the beeping. This beeping which serves a purpose, I guess, should be optional to be turned on and off and not permanent as it is now. Additionally the iron does not heat up like it should as the sensor does not work properly. Furthermore in contacting Rowenta directly, I have no follow up service. Finally, a month ago, less than a year after I bought the product, the iron completely broke down by not heating up at all. If I could give this item a minus rating I would. So far no one from Rowenta has responded to my question as to where to get it fixed. BTW, it's made in china not Germany.

We love this iron. It’s functionality is great. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because of two things. I wish it stayed heated longer before it has to benaced back down and 2nd the dial for the temp control is in a bad spot. It’s easy to adjust the temp without knowing because when you grab the handle sometimes you accidentally hit the temp control.

Order my first steam iron and got an used one?!?!? Kinda disappointed. I gave it a tried and turn out steam doesn’t come out just like advertised so I am exchanging. Hopefully I will get a brand new one without any defective.Update:Got a new one and steam is very low!! Even I tried on highest heat setting. "SAD FACE" I had a high hope on this iron!

While I do have an ironing board and an electric iron, It's a pain.to drag them out every time I have something to iron.I use this iron on. top of my kitchen counter. It heats up quickly and is a pleasure to use.

Es muy práctico para laMovilidad. El problema es que no dura tanto caliente la planchaLlego a tiempo el producto y vendedor ok

Unfortunately not the best product by Rowenta, heat doesn’t last long enough to do ironing smoothly, practically useless except for clothes that doesn’t really require much heat for ironing

This product is not getting hot at all

No steam not good with cotton
