Still not sure about performance
I bought this iron and began comparing it to my old $7 Black & Decker Iron and it fell short in a few areas. It's a little weighty, which could be a good thing for pressing out stubborn wrinkles or bad when having to iron a lot. The cord is noticably about 2 foot shorter and heavier. It seems to get in the way more. Although it says anti-drip and no leaking, when I sit the iron down between garment sections it spits water from the soleplate and leaks water back out of the tank onto my hand. The temperature light tends to go on and off often, as though it can't keep warm. Still undecided whether I got a dud.

Good iron at a premium price.

I've recently started ironing everything I wear. This made me yearn to ease the job with high end equipment. I bought this steam generator after reading the "professional quality for the home" reviews along with a Rowenta expert ironing board.
After ~10 tanks (which go much faster than I expected) of tap water I can say that this is a VERY good iron and will get your clothes looking good...but not as if they were done at the cleaners. Compared to my girlfriends extreme budget iron I can see a difference...but compared to my Mother's Rowenta iron(non-steam generator type)..I can tell little difference.
I took one star for the high cost and another due to the LONG waiting periods for the "steam generator" to generate steam, about ~10+ minutes when filled completely.
For your average user, save some $ and get a typical iron as it is much more convenient as well.

The beauty of a Rowenta !
Ever since I had my first Rowenta, I disregarded all those others. There must be something special and it must be the ability to make the pain of ironing easier! Rowentas come in many styles nowadays. I especially like the Burst of Steam button which clearly fixes some creases, especially those accidently made while ironing. The power press model has the Pro Vertical Steam button with a powerful burst for those upright garments. This helps for those outfits that don't need ironing, just getting the kinks out.

Although this boasts a self-clean system, I can only hope it does well, as I have not noticed it yet, but it is designed to flush loose the mineral deposits.

As for the Variable Steam adjustment, there isn't much of a difference in the lower vs. higher shot of steam, buts it's good to know the stream is adequate all around.

I like the large water Tank (8oz) and a clear view it allows. And of course it boasts the Anti-Drip system which prevents spitting and leaking when the thermostat is on a lower setting. This is very important, so you don't have drops of water spewing out unintentionally.

The Anti-Calc System is designed as an integrated cartridge for extended life of the iron. The unit is stainless steel.

So, yes there are good features, and to me, the Rowentas are the best. Iron away!....Rizzo

Awesome! Definitely the best iron around!
If you're looking for a heavy grade professional iron that will glide over your clothes knocking out all your wrinkles, this is the iron. This iron has reduced my ironing time by at least 30-40%. The easy gliding ability of this iron topped with it's ability to smooth out those wrinkles in usually one pass without constant pressure or repeated passes over the same area make this a true pleasure to use. The only one area of concern that seems to bother others but didn't concern me is the power cord is fairly heavy grade, making is different from probably your current iron, however it hasn't presented any obstacles for me.

Hefty iron, sturdy power cord
I had previously owned a Rowenta P2 commercial iron, which appeared to be an early incarnation of the 890DM. There were reports of the power cord going bad due to the design, and I think that's how my P2 died. The iron would suddenly stop heating, sometime a whack on the bottom would bring it back, but it was very unpredicatable. An internal fraying of the power cord connector would explain this behavior: no current draw to the heating elements.

With the 890DM Rowenta appeared to have fixed this, evident by the thicker power cord that so many people complained about. It is a hefty cord, about 9-10mm in diameter, more like a computer power cable than your typical household appliance power cord. It still connects at the base of the handle through a flexible plastic tubing that keeps the cord straight up and away from the handle. I have not found this cable to be a nuisance in ironing, and if this design change prevents an early Rowenta death, I'm all for it.

Everything else is as excellent as ever, Rowenta owners can atest to this. The DM890 weighs nearly 5 lbs., making it efforless to glide and not have to press down. Inox steel prevents bottom stickage, the handle steam control buttons are well-designed. It heats up fast and can get really really hot at 1750W. In the $90 - $100 price range this is one of the most expensive irons you can buy. The only thing I had before my P2 was a small Black & Decker, so I don't have extensive experience to compare. I can say that once I've owned a Rowenta, that's it, I'll never go back to buying anything else, even if my old P2 did die early.

This is a Great Iron
The steam produced by this iron doesn't leave anything to be desired. I really like the features and the quality of this appliancve. The steam feature is excellent for all fabrics and it goes fast where you have to easily refill it for any large amount of ironing at one time. A really "Professional" Professional Iron. You will not be sorry if you purchased one.

Customer Reviews

Good horizontal iron, but not vertical.
The good: Lightweight, good for travel. The steam output when ironing horizontally is quite good and does a good job in ironing.
The bad: The water tank tends to leak. This is especially if you stand it upright while, e.g. you are re-arranging your clothes on the ironing board. Also, the vertical steam is NOT at all effective for vertical ironing. Additionally, due to small size, one full-load of water can last for at most two shirts before requiring refill.

Great travelling iron
I bought this iron six years ago when I was a frosh in college. At the time it was the price that sold me, but today it is the compact size. It's a great iron for travel - far better then anything at a hotel.

Great item!
I bought this item for my Mom who is an excellant quilter. She saw someone in her class with this iron and they loved it. So, I got it for her for her 80th birthday. She loves it. Very convenient and very good iron.

Customer Reviews

Great!... when it works
This iron was very powerful and quick to heat up and I had no trouble filling with water and I liked the "visible" window to see how much water was left.
I attribute many irons that leak to allowing them to run empty and then refilling while at full temperature.. the metals inside bend and go crazy with sudden cold water against them.

I could never figure out how to shut the thing off aside from letting the auto shutoff feature to do the job without having to turn the ring on top.... but the auto shutoff worked fine.

My problem was that after 4 months and working perfectly, it just stopped heating. The little red light could come on, but the lower amber light that shows when its heating would never come on again.

Its ashamed to put so much energy into a product to have a little switch kill the whole thing.
I"m not sure why this is such a problem among Rowenta Irons.

I search the internet and thought I was buying the best of the best... apparently not.

A chain is only as good as the weakest link... the electronic switches are the weakest link on these irons.

I have no complaints about the rest of the iron.

Owning this was a bit like going to nice restaurant and everything being perfect, except the fly in your soup.

My point is, I think Rowenta either needs to step up to the plate and finish their well made irons with comparable electronics that don't go bad so often or just make a cheap iron and charge less at the expense of their good name which they are killing anyway.

This inconsistency in workmanship amongst top of the line iron companies seems to be fairly common based on the reviews I'm reading. I'm starting to think a cheap iron is as good as an expensive one!

I need an iron "tommorrow" not in several weeks after some service center fixes it... .I went out and bought a 27.00 Black and Decker that did the trick.

I guess I'll have the Rowenta as a backup when I finally get it back from the service center. "After I pay shipping"

slightly disappointing
I bought this iron after reading excellent reviews on other websites and after friends raved about Rowenta Irons. I made sure I got a Rowenta made in Germany rather than one made in China, since the ones made in China seem to have a lot of problems.

The first disappointing thing about this model is I cannot seem to get a lot of steam out of it when pressing the burst of stem button, also the sliding piece which turns on the amount of steam or self-cleaning option is very flimsy cheap plastic and it's not very clear what setting you are on after sliding it.

It also is a pain in the neck to fill with water, you have to lay it flat (instead of upright like many irons) and pour the tiniest amount of water in the hole very slowly or it will overflow all over the place. I can't seem to fill it all the way up, even after to standing it up to settle the water. This is very time consuming and messy.

Other than that, it is attractive and light weight. I wouldn't say it irons any better than $30 dollar irons I have previously owned.

My T-fal diffusion iron with the easy glide surface, which I loved, died after 5 years. As soon as T-Fal comes out with next model of that iron,(later this month, I believe) I will be buying one. And my Rowenta will sit in the closet.
