Pro Master Steam Iron DW8360

This Rowenta iron heats up fast and delivers strong, consistent steam that easily removes tough wrinkles. The stainless steel soleplate glides smoothly, and the microsteam holes really make a difference. I also love the retractable cord and clear LED display. Solid, high-quality iron that makes ironing quicker and easier.

Rowenta did a great job with their packaging for environmentally conscious consumers like myself. The iron does have some weight on it, just over 3lbs, but it was still very comfortable when I used it. The weight is essential for heavier fabrics. The stainless steel Soleplate looked flawless. The iron was tested for leaking and so far No leaking whatsoever after testing it myself after filling the tank just below the MAX line. Instructions were easy to follow. I set the setting to desired setting, in my case, I was ironing 100% linen sheets. I glided the iron on the fabric and used the steam Boost button on stubborn wrinkles. It left incredible results, minimal to no wrinkles on the fabric. No leaking during or after. The iron seems of good quality overall, wish there was no plastic components, but not a deal breaker. Value for money will depend on how it performs in the next several months and years. Cleanup was easy, instructions recommend letting the iron cool completely before emptying any water left inside the tank, and store upright. I plan to test the iron for the next several months on different fabrics and update of any changes if any.

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".

This is a very nice iron; it feels nice, it irons quickly, and the steam is wonderful. This iron comes in a box with a German flag, but the plate on the iron states "Made in China". More pros, the dial clicks into place, you're likely to move it when you pick up the iron. Filling the iron is easy, no funnel! You can control the amount of steam. It has a calcium filter. It uses tap water. The ball joint cord makes it even easier. The cons: The iron heats up quickly. There isn't a light to indicate when it's ready to use, even though the manual says that it has one. If you're standing next to the iron, you will hear a click. There's no power off. The manual tells you to unplug it when you're done, but then you're unplugging an appliance that is on. If you walk away for eight minutes, it will turn itself off. I would rather be able to turn it off and unplug it rather than remember that I left it plugged in. This is inconvenient when getting ready in the morning. Overall, I like it very much, however, the user manual should be updated and the box should tell us it's made in China.

I’m writing this detailed review because I found the subject of researching, purchasing, and using under-performing irons so annoying and hoping this will help you avoid the same. This review applies to my personal application and experience. Both of those may differ for you. First some context for this review. I pretty much exclusively use the iron to iron my long sleeve dress shirts for work. I work fast and need an iron that can keep up with me (producing steam) as I iron, set the iron down, move the shirt to the next position, iron set the iron down etc. about 10 times per shirt. I set the iron to ‘Cotton” and get busy. I just need an iron that constantly produces plenty of steam. I don’t use the spray or vertical steam features. It takes me about 3 minutes per shirt – which is faster and cheaper than making trips to the cleaners. I have not had any of the irons long enough to provide a long-term or reliability review. If anything annoying occurs I will come back and edit this review if I am able. I purchased and tested each of these irons on the same shirts (pic) 1) First purchase: Rowenta Focus $87 Summary: this iron could not keep up with me. Seemed to produce steam randomly in short bursts when it felt like it. I often found myself ironing soleplate down without any steam at all. I thought the unit must be defective. I returned in exchange for another one. Same issue with the second one. I would return it if I could, but am outside the return window. I would not recommend this iron. Will be donating this to charity. Maybe it will suit someone else better. Will not bother with Pros & Cons here. 2) Second purchase: Rowenta Steamforce $152 Summary: upon opening, it was clear that this was a unit had already been ordered and returned by another customer. Based on past experience accepting somebody else’s return is a nonstarter – especially at this price point. This is not the first time Amazon has sent someone else’s reject as new. Very disappointing. I returned in exchange for another one. The second one arrived in new and unused condition – although I wish the manufacturer would seal the box at the factory so it is clear if the box has been previously opened. Pros: - Slick easy gliding soleplate - Plenty of steam - Simple light indicating fabric setting (pic) - Narrow nose for tight spaces - Simple on/off steam setting (I don’t need anything in between) Cons: - Price – yikes! - Easy to accidentally hit fabric selection dial and change setting. Frustrating. - A little bit of non-consequential spitting This was the best of the three irons for my needs. Would recommend. 3) Third purchase: PurSteam Professional Grade 1800-Watt Iron with Digital LCD Screen $42 Summary: this one arrived in a box properly sealed by the manufacturer – easy to tell that I was the first person opening the box. Thank you! Pros: - Great price - Sufficient steam - LED fabric selector - No manual dial to knock out of position. Yay! Thank you! (pic) - Easy to fill water tank Cons: - Literally ran out of steam when tank reached 25% full (pic) I would recommend this iron. Instead of returning, I will keep as a very capable backup. Hope this review saves you some of the time and grief I experienced. If anyone has recommendation for a top-notch ironing board cover, I’d be happy to hear about it.

I read many reviews on this iron and I think they have upgraded this model. First, the temperature dial is not that easy to move so brushing your hand on it when picking it up will not move the dial. My iron did not leak at all. I filled it to the MAX level and turned it on. It did not leak before it heated up or while it was hot. I even put the iron horizontal and there was no leaking. The steam function worked fine. The instructions were very informative with pictures. The wool setting of two dots (eco) will not steam unless the steam setting switch is also on eco. Then a smaller amount of steam is produced. It says that in the instructions. The auto off is on when the auto off red light on top of the handle is flashing. When that red light is not flashing the auto off feature is not on and the iron is working on the setting you have it on. To reactivate the iron from being off you just move the iron horizontally back and forth a couple times and it comes back on. The light that is very hard to find and see is the "Pilot" light. The one that tells you the iron is heating up. It is located on the left side bottom of the handle and it is sort of back under the center of the iron and it is a very faint orange. In order to see it you have to look for it and tip the iron a bit to see it. It is on only when the iron is heating up. The instructions say not to iron until that light goes off. This iron's spray and burst buttons worked fine. This iron steam presses very nicely on a flat wool ironing pad. I have not tried the vertical steaming because I don't have any clothes or items to vertically press. I sew and quilt and I use an iron for my sewing projects. So I use the highest cotton setting when I iron and this does great on that setting. It does glide over fabrics very well. I did not time the time it took to heat up. But I would guess it got to the cotton setting in a minute or two. It is an expensive iron but it has a lot of nice features like how the cord is attached to the iron on a pivoting ball to help the cord stay out of the way. The cord is about 7.5 feet long. The iron is not too heavy and not too light. It does have the calcium cleaner on it for easy cleaning of the iron. It pressed serious creases in fabric that was folded many times so it was 12 layers of fabric. Ironed it flat with the cotton setting and burst of steam. So far I like this iron. :)

I’ve been using the Rowenta Freemove Cordless Iron for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed. Quality: The steam power is strong, and it smooths out wrinkles quickly — even on thicker fabrics. I love that it reheats fast and stays consistently hot while I’m ironing. Price: For the performance and convenience, the price feels absolutely fair. Features: The cordless design is a game-changer — no tangled cord, no awkward angles, just easy movement. The base heats the iron quickly, and the water tank lasts long enough for a full ironing session. Experience: It feels comfortable in the hand, glides nicely, and doesn’t leak water or spit steam. Overall, it made ironing so much easier and faster. Highly recommend for everyday use!

I was surprised how fast this iron heats up and how smoothly it glides on different fabrics. The steam is strong and really helps to remove wrinkles quickly. I also love that it’s cordless — it makes ironing so much easier and more comfortable. The only thing is that the water tank goes down a bit fast when using a lot of steam, but overall the iron works great and saves me time.
