Title: Awesome Iron, Love it
Review: TL:DR Summary -- I broke my Rowenta DZ5080 by dropping it. Loved that iron, wanted an exact or better (if even possible) replacement. Initially bought the more expensive Rowenta DW9080 because it was top of the line. Did not like it at all, returned it to Amazon and bought this Rowenta DW8080 instead and LOVE it, find that it performs just the same as the DZ5080 did. The DW9080 had inconsistent steam production, delay in producing steam, would not truly "auto" steam, and when the steam finally decided to start coming out it was not any more than the DZ5080 or DW8080. I would not recommend the DW9080 to anyone, but would recommend the DW8080 to everyone. If you have only ever used cheap irons, you'll honestly be blown away by what you're missing with an iron like the DW8080. It has awesome, immediately, consistent, plentiful steam production, and a great design to hold and use. Buy it!!Long version...A little background... I had always used the cheap walmart irons that everyone is used to. Never enough steam so constantly pressing the burst button, takes forever to iron things, might not get all the wrinkles out entirely, etc. Honestly, I didn't know what I was missing until we registered for and received a Rowenta Focus DZ5080 iron for our wedding. I was immediately blown away by how much steam came out effortlessly and how quickly and effectively it could iron. I actually enjoyed and looked forward to ironing, even a couple years after initially receiving it. It wasn't as annoying/daunting of a task.Fast foward to a few weeks ago, when I accidentally bumped the ironing board and knocked our DZ5080 onto our concrete laundry room floor and cracked the water tank, rendering it unusable. I was very upset because I loved that iron, and immediately went to Amazon to order the exact same model. What I learned is that that model was discontinued and replaced with the DW5080. It might sound silly, but I didn't like the color of the DW5080 (ugly brown instead of blue) so I didn't immediately order it and decided to see what other offerings Rowenta had. (If I had seen the DZ5080 still for sale I'd have ordered it immediately with zero extra research). After searching around, I ordered the DW9080 hoping it would be like our DZ5080 only even better, because after all it had 30% more steam. After the first day, I did not like the iron one bit and immediately ordered this DW8080 instead, which I absolutely love again, just like our DZ5080 (it performs very similarly to how the DZ5080 did, suppoedly has more "burst" of steam when you burst it, but I don't really use that function much and the eyeball test says the difference isn't dramatic). See my DW9080 review if you would like more information on why I did not like that iron.What I love about the DW8080 is that immediately after lowering the iron, by the time you touch it to your clothing, it is produces it's full amount of steam, which is honsetly a lot. The entire surface of the iron produces steam evenly, and it is enough to iron extremely quickly. What used to take 10 passes with a cheap walmart iron literally is done in one pass with this iron, no matter how wrinkled the clothing is. I've had some clothing that somehow dried all balled up and was a terrible wrinkled mess that, to be honest, would not have ironed out perfectly with my previous irons no matter how long I spent with it. But with the DZ5080 and now this DW8080, it not only irons it out perfectly, but in only a pass or two. It's amazing what this amount of steam does to set-in wrinkles. I never would have believed it or expected it if not for trying it myself. I think it warrants mention that I have never had an issue where it is leaking water either from the steam holes, the water fillup hole, or anywhere else.So, long story short, I absolutely love this iron and would recommend it to everyone without hesitation. That being said, there are a few annoyances I have with this model that I will mention here:-Probably the biggest one, and it's not THAT big of a deal, is that it is hard to see the level of the water because the back face is a dark plastic that is not very translucent. I have to really hold it up to the light to see where the water is at. With the DZ5080 before this, it was a lighter colored plastic that allowed me to see the water level from across the room. Not a dealbreaker, but it's annoying and there is no reason for it IMHO.-This happened with my DZ5080 also, but what happens is if you set the temp of the iron too high for your clothing, it would make the face of the iron instantly melt the fuzz on the surface of the clothing (VERY slightly, not NEARLY enough to ruin the clothes AT ALL, but) enough to have a few tiny fibers stick to the face of the iron. Before I go on, let me be clear that what seems to be happening is that that fuzz that sort of "sticks out" of the clothing, is what melts -- the clothing itself is not damaged in any way. Anyway, what this does when it happens is it makes the iron not glide as smoothly, making it more difficult to iron because the iron kind of feels "sticky" in a way, and wants to pull the clothing around instead of glide over it. To further emphasize that this isn't that big of a deal, the first time it happened I actually didn't even really notice and continued using it for a few months. Eventually I came to think it wasn't gliding as smoothly as it did and invesigated it a bit more. I see now that they make special sole plate cleaner which I may try with my DW8080, but with the DZ5080 all I did was keep a small piece of 0000 steel wool near the iron boarding and periodically would clean the sole plate with it if it happened. This worked great and would remove the melted on fibers quickly and easily and more importantly, could be done while the iron is hot (if you're careful), which allows uninterrupted ironing if you accidentally set the iron too hot and have this issue. It was only with very particular shirts of mine, so it must be the particular fabric they are made of, because 99% of items, I could set the iron above the recommended temp and use it on them even though you're not supposed to, but on this particular brand/fabric of shirt, it would have this issue if I set it too hot (where it melted the invisible fuzzies that are on the surface of the fabric). But ultimately, if you don't set your iron too hot for your clothing, and you won't have this issue.At the end of the day, I highly recommend this iron and believe anyone would be thrilled with it. There *might* be better irons out there somewhere, but I can't imagine in what ways they would be much better, and after taking a risk even within the same company to get a "better" iron and getting burned, I'm quite happy to stay with this tried and true iron.

Title: Rowenta is the standard for irons
Review: Love my new Rowenta!I had a different Rowenta model (now discontinued) for years and just recently started to leak. I use my iron every day under heavy usage. I do use the steam function rather than a water bottle. Any model of any brand iron will begin to leak at some point if you use the reservoir for the steam function, why, I have not clue, but they do. I do not consider my old Rowenta showing leakage as a fault of design. Again, I use my iron daily under heavy usage. I am a sewist and sew up to 12 hours a day. I am now using my old Rowenta as my household iron. When I was searching for a new iron, I did admittingly stray and tried the Oliso. My sister has had her Oliso for years, loves it and has never had any issues. So thought would give it a try as it is marketed specifically for sewists. Had it for exactly 30 days and it literally stopped working. Right in the middle of me ironing my quilt top; I set the iron on the silicone pad, it raised, I moved the top to the next section to be ironed, grabbed the iron and the feet didn't move. It had completely shut off. Unplugged it and waited quite some time, plugged it back in, nothing. Did that several times, even the next day. Nothing. Not to mention several other functions were disappointingly subpar considering the price tag. Immediately returned it. Will never stray again!Love the weight of this iron, even when the reservoir is empty. The reservoir holds quite a bit of water. I can see the water level just fine and I have to wear reading glasses when sewing. We have hard water so I do use distilled water. The soleplate glides like a skater on ice. The amount of steam is ka-pow-pow. I love the size of the steam/spray buttons. The selection dial is well-marked. I know some people have complained about the dial being easily turned while ironing. I find this confusing - you literally have to let your fingers fall from the handle and make an effort to turn the dial while ironing. I love the ball cord pivot so the backend does not fishtail from the cord being pulled. The auto-off function is nice and only takes a couple seconds to get back to temp when moving the iron to a horizontal position. And to top it off, I really like the color!There only a couple cons I can think of. The precision tip on this model is a little blunt compared to my old model. Still works great for my usage though. The indicator light to let you know the iron is warming up is a deep orange. I wish it was red or another color. During the day, it is almost impossible to see the indicator light; however, when the iron gets to temp, it makes an audible click so even if there wasn't an indicator light, the iron clicking tells you it's ready to go. I find these to be minor cons.Rowenta has been a long-standing trusted name in irons for over 100 years and for very good reason. Rowenta irons are worth every penny. I will only purchase Rowenta irons from now on. I know I sound like an infomercial but it is true. Solid name, solid iron, many years of reliable usage and great results.

Title: Mostly good overall
Review: I was afraid of the really pointy tip, but it actually worked well when ironing long sleeve work shirts. The steam works well, just don't get your hands in the way when using the shot of steam or you'll regret how hot it is. The instructions could be better, like how do you slide the sole plate cover off. It's a nice green color. My biggest gripe is the placement of the "squirt" button which constantly gets activated by a right-handed person holding the grip, and the "squirt" isn't in a straight line; it "pees" like a male dog!

Title: Rowenta is the best!
Review: I Purchased my first row into iron 12 years ago. Are use it professionally and for my own personal use. It is the best iron I have ever used. I’ve never had it scorch or draw fabric up on the highest setting. The soleplate illuminates all of that. I love the fact that it has a larger capacity water container and produces excellent steam. When Amazon had their second Amazon days, I decided to get another one because I had this for so long and I depend on it for my business. It was a great price. I do not have room to have a professional steamer with an outside water container. This product takes the place of that. I would never use another iron but Rowenta.

Title: Works great
Review: Works as an iron should. Gets wrinkles out, lots of steam, many holes in sole plate, stainless steel sole plate is great; is not as heavy as Chi but is not lightweight, but I don’t care as the weight helps get the wrinkles out. This is my fourth or fifth Rowenta iron purchase over the last 40 years. The only reason I have had to replace this brand is my fault of knocking the iron off the board onto the floor, after which time it starts leaking water. I iron many garments over many hours at a time. Due to the amount of steam this iron produces, you do have to refill it frequently, but that is not a complaint. It is what it is. I would purchase this again.
