New innovative design meets powerful performance in the Rowenta Focus Iron DW5280. The new 1725-watt German-made steam iron features a premium soleplate, delivering a new standard in glide and scratch resistance for excellent results. The carefully designed shape and steam holes provide even steam coverage for easy crease removal with just one pass. The soleplate’s pointed tip includes concentrated micro steam holes for targeted steam when reaching into tight spots like between buttons, over collars, and along seams. The Rowenta Focus clothes iron now features a water-tank window, providing 100% visibility to how much water is in the tank. The Rowenta iron adjusts the steam output automatically to match the soleplate temperature (steam can also be turned off for dry ironing). Use the “burst of steam” function to remove extra-stubborn wrinkles and vertical steam for dropping wrinkles away from drapes and hanging garments. The upgraded Rowenta Focus Steam iron makes it easy to achieve professional-looking results from the comfort of home. Patent US n°7,305,780.
POWERFUL STEAM: With up to 135g/min boost and 35g/min continuous output.
EXCEPTIONAL COVERAGE: This iron counts with over 400 active holes for the best steam distribution.
VARIABLE STEAM SETTINGS: This steam iron is able to suit different fabrics and ironing needs like Cotton/Wool/Poly/Silk/Linen/Nylon.
DURABILITY FEATURES: Self-cleaning and anti-calc system to ensure optimal performance over time and to extend the life of the clothes iron.
SAFE AND PRECISE IRONING: Auto-off function for safety, anti-drip feature, and precision tip for ultimate convenience; it is recommended to use a soft damp cloth. Warning: The use of iron cleaner will cause damage to your soleplate's autoclean coating.

Title: Exceptional Rowenta Quality and Function
Review: I purchased this Rowenta one year ago. It is my second Rowenta and I cannot imagine using any other steam iron. I learned from my first that is smart to adhere to the maintenance schedule. The water in this area is pretty hard and thus appliances are more susceptible to calcium build-up. As such every two (2) WEEKS I do the 'short' maintenance..fill with water and then heat to highest temperature...then unplug and shake over sink...it really does work. And then every two (2) MONTHS I 'de-calcify' the VALVE by simply letting is soak in white vinegar for four (4) hours. I actually have these reminders on my GOOG CALENDAR which is helpful. Functionally the iron is superior...I use the steam pretty much every time I iron. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product and believe the VALUE-for-PRICE makes it an excellent product to own.

Title: Not as hot as I thought
Review: I loved the Rowenta iron I’ve had for years, but when it suddenly stopped working I had to purchase a new one. Based on previous reviews, I purchased this one. Honestly, I expected it to be hotter. Don’t get me wrong, it’s gets hot but it doesn’t stay hot for nearly as long as my previous iron. It’s fine. I didn’t return it.

Title: Great Iron, little bit heavier than past Rowenta
Review: Bought this Rowenta Focus Steam 5280 on Prime Day to replace one of the two Rowenta Effective Comfort DW2070s purchased 6 years ago. Was able to clean out one of the old ones but discovered when disassembling that the other's seal had deteriorated so much causing it to leak badly and could not be fixed.The two prior DW2070s are 1500 watt, 300 holes and marked "Made in China" while this new 5280 model is 1725 watt, 400 holes and marked "Made in Germany." There is a remarkable difference in this new Focus compared to the Effective Comfort model.I can't say if the German one is made better than the China one but it is a few cm longer and taller and just a tad heavier. It does produce much more steam probably because it has higher wattage and a hundred more holes in the sole-plate. One small annoyance that I can live with is a drop of water will seep out of the front spray nozzle only if I have used the mister and drip onto what I'm ironing. One drop is not the same as full-on streaks from leaking. I find I don't need the mister hardly at all because of the better heat & steam.It does a much faster and better ironing job than the 6-year-olds so I'm delighted. When the other old Rowenta DW2070 ever dies I'll certainly upgrade to these newer ones. Time will tell if it lasts as long, the new build seems just as good if not better.

Title: Irons and steams well; seems like it should last. Read the instructions fully.
Review: This review is for the 1725 watt iron, without the cordreel, in the blue and white color, and it was purchased in November 2022. Overall, it's fine, but be aware of the following things: the different steam settings, having some common sense, the poorly-described self-clean "function", and the sole plate.The iron is simple to use: fill it with water, plug it in, set the temperature, and wait for it to heat. Once it's ready (i.e., the pilot light goes off), set the desired steam level, and start ironing. You've got three options for steam: off, "Eco", and max, and the switch has four positions.If you've got it set to steam, but nothing comes out, press the steam button. That'll clear out whatever might be clogging the holes in the plate. Then try ironing.Now for the steam switch: the first two are positions are basically off, and no steam will come out. The 'Eco' setting only kicks in at the third 'click' of the switch, and takes a second for steam to come out once the iron is horizontal and moving. The fourth position (all the way to the right) is max steam, which is exactly what it sounds like: a lot of steam for as long as the iron can sustain, before it needs to heat up again.Once the pilot light turns back on, don't press your luck, or else you might get water dribbling out toward the end of the cycle; set the iron upright and wait. Also, don't expect a lot of steam (or any at all) to come out at lower temperatures: expecting that just doesn't make sense. If you want to iron at low temperatures, and need moisture, use the built-in spray function before pressing your clothes.A lot of the "water leaks out!!" reviews probably don't realize that yes, if you've got the steam switch wide open, there's a valve that will let water through, and yes, that water (in liquid form) will dribble out of the sole plate because they've got a low temperature selected.About the self-clean "function": it's not a function, or a dial setting, or anything like that at all. It's a sequence of things you do, and the procedure is described toward the end of the manual.Lastly, the sole plate isn't smooth-shiny like my old Rowenta. I assume the new one is stainless steel just like the old one, but the new one has a matte and slightly textured surface that drags ever so slightly. It's not a big deal, but if you're expecting a mirror finish on the sole plate, this iron isn't it.The actual ironing performance: it works fine and gets the wrinkles out. For heavy and deep creases, no iron alone will solve that problem.Summary: The iron works well if you have some common sense about when to expect steam at high versus low temperatures, and exercise awareness with the steam switch; the self-cleaning function isn't really a function at all, but just a series of steps; and the sole plate has a slight texture. I iron at least once a week, so if this iron doesn't last, I'll update the review.May 2022 update: It's still working fine. If it doesn't start steaming right away after the iron is back in the horizontal position (and the steam switch is in the third or fourth position), I'll hit the "steam burst" button. Also, if you haven't ironed in a while, hit the button anyway but do it over a rag or towel so you don't spew mineral crud over what you actually want to iron.October 2023 update: Still going strong after weekly use. With semi-regular maintenance (the cleaning feature) and using the steam burst function to blow out any mineral build-up, this thing is working great. Looks like it's currently $80 which is a huge amount cheaper than what I bought it. Like Leonard from Community, I rate this a "buy".

Review: This is a solid work horse of an Iron. It's a bit heavy but I think that's a good thing in an iron. Well designed with common sense controls, well sealed lid over the water container. Makes lots of steam on demand. My dad was a tailor years ago and this reminded me of the irons he used in his workshop.
