Much more than I expected
I purchased this iron to satisfy and replace my desire for the laura star garment system iron that I had seen a couple of months ago; that particular system was extremely awesome however the price tag was extremely high nearing the $1,000 mark. So to help me overcome my desire for such a system I thought I would purchase the Rowenta since I had heard it was a great iron. I purchased the Rowenta DX6900. I was not expecting to be pleased in comparison to the above mentioned system. I was amazed. It did a great job on my clothes. I would recommend this iron. It pressed my clothes effortlessly and I am pleased with my purchase. And I saved a lot of money compared to the other one. I may however purchase the Rowenta Ironing Board as it appears to aid in the desired finished product. D. Smith

Back to Rowenta!
Almost 10 years ago I had purchased a basic model iron from Rowenta to use in my upholstery and drapery workroom. With the very heavy use and the iron being used daily, it didn't tire out until six years later! Since then I have purchased several irons of various makes, but not one lived up to the needs of my business. So, in January of this year, I up-graded to the Rowenta Power Duo DX 6900. This iron stands far above the rest. I am a true Rowenta fan and will never again buy another brand of iron!

almost excellent....
The weight, feel, steaming, and ability to glide over fabric all make this easily a 5 star iron.
The biggest problem for me is that the instruction book talks about the light indicating when it is heating versus done heating, and in fact the light goes on and stays on when the iron is ON, whether or not it is at the proper temperature. This is not a bug in my specific iron; a friend has one from an earlier batch in a different color, and it has the same disparity between the book and reality.
Some home sewers complain about the iron's turn-off feature. I don't mind too much. The light DOES blink in the turned-off mode and clicks back to steady light so you know it is responding, and seems to reheat quickly.
