Rowenta, Travel Iron, Pro Compact Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron for Clothes, 200 Microsteam Holes, 1000 Watts Ironing, Fabric Steamer, Dual Voltage, Purple Mini Iron, DA1560

UPDATE: The third one was fine. Yay! But not great for what I needed it for. I really wanted to love this little iron, and as you can see from my review, I tried so hard to get a decent one from Amazon. But I finally got one, so here goes; The iron itself is fabulous and steams really well and irons just as good as any regular-sized iron. It has a great amount of steam holes and it’s super lightweight. But what made me return it was that I actually wanted it for quilting, and I regularly use a starch spray with my fabrics, and this was leaving a slight residue on the base of the iron, which meant I’d have to clean the base every time I used it. So I decided a ceramic sole plate iron would be a better choice. This might not seem a big deal when you’re just ironing clothes while on vacation or away on a business trip, and as basic ironing goes, it really isn’t as you’re probably not going to use a finishing spray and have to clean it constantly, and that’s why I’ve given it 5 stars because it’s fantastic, but when you’re quilting and using it as much as I am, it really is a problem. The only other niggle I had was, there wasn’t any light on it to show the iron was “live” or had reached temperature. But when you’re traveling, this isn’t a deal breaker. It’s super light and folds down beautifully. I also really like the dual voltage aspect, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a travel iron. As for me and my quilting iron quest, my search goes on. I ordered the first iron, which had a quite a deep scratch on the sole plate, so I requested a replacement. When it arrived, it was obvious that it had been used previously, as the sole plate had fine scratches all over it like it had been cleaned with a scourer. I’ve again, returned this second one and I’ve ordered another one hoping that the third time’s a charm!

Tuvimos una plancha igual por 8 años. Ya luego dejó de funcionar, tal vez por descuido nuestro (falta de mantenimiento), por lo que compramos exactamente el mismo modelo. Lo que nos gustó mucho es que es de tamaño chico (mi esposa y yo somos de tallas chicas). Con otras planchas batallábamos mucho. El sistema de vapor funciona muy bien. Está ideal para viajar, ya que requiere poco espacio. Lo único malo es que el contenedor de agua es muy chico y hay que estarlo rellenando, pero se entiende porque es compacta.

Rare that i write product reviews but this one deserve one in my opinion. I purchased this Rowenta iron for my trip in Sicily having to stay at 7 different hotels in 2 weeks. I like when my clothes are perfectly pressed and could not be certain that at each hotel over there an iron would be at my disposal. The size, weight and robustness of this iron is perfect and easy to bring in carry-on and back pack. The water compartment capacity is enough to do two clothes if using the vapor pressure continuously and easy to refill in need be. Great as well that there is a switch to select between 110 / 220Volts which was required in Italy. It is very quick to bring to temperature set-point and handling this little guy is a charm. To a point that I prefer this one over my older regular size iron. The only drawback is if this falls on the floor, there is great probability of breaking the handle so to be careful. Thanks for reading.

What a fantastic, little gadget, that any if not every, frequent traveler, who cares about their business attire and/or special events clothing being used at attended events and such, - just aught to carry along for that added peace of mind. A great brand in the pro-iron industry too. This travel model is dual-voltage too and very compact. Yet feels sturdy. You' ll appreciate it's ultra-smooth chrome-ish/mirror-finish stainless steel bottom plate that's just phenomenal at disbursement of steam through its extra-wide coverage area. I've had other brands and style and in my honest unpaid opinion, this is the letter hands down! Should you be in the market for said item - buy with confidence. Now the negative here for me anyways - it doesn't come in black or silver in this wattage nor another and for a guy purple just isn't up there in my favorites but it is quite handy nonetheless.

Está fabulosa, de muy buen tamaño para viaje, no tan pequeña, muy potente en calentamiento, bastante funcional. Justo como la quería. Me encantó
