Customer Review

I bought this steamer recently to replace a similar Rowenta I got over 5 years ago. The element that creates the steam stopped working, but for as much as I use it I got a lot out of it in 5 years. I came to rely on it so much that I had to replace it. I use it almost daily and on lots of things such as shorts, skirts, jeans,and ties. Shirts & sweaters with creases from being folded can be put on a hanger and presto, wrinkles gone! I hate ironing and with today's synthetic fabrics it is not safe to do so on many garments. Plus, the steamer can also be used on curtains and drapes.

Tips:
Make sure you rinse the tank out well before refilling. There will be some sediment in it from the water. It is best to use distilled water to minimize that.

Do not use this too close to a wall. You will find that steam can condense on the wall which might not be good for your paint or wallpaper. I store mine near a wall, but always pull it out into the room when in use.

Rowenta I am disappointed in you! - K. Tradowsky - san francisco,ca. USA
Well, within the first three times using this product, the brush head attachment warped and fell off. Then the other brush head attachments bristles melted. The steam was powerful for awhile, then would stop unexpectedly,then start up again. By the fifth time using it, I had to clean away tons of residue sludge in order to get it to work. By cleaning it regularly,and using distilled water,I was able to keep it going for a bit... Six months later the on off switch has stopped working at a critical time for me when i need it the most for my business. I took it apart and it seems the pedal switch controls have completely melted. Why would Rowenta not test these parts for heat related mishaps?
If I could give no stars I would. I used to be a Rowenta fan, but I will not buy their products again.
