No Germany – No Quality
This Rowenta model is a big comedown from Rowenta’s previous quality. A previous DX1700 I owned lasted about 6 years with heavy usage.

I had asked for a Rowenta that wasn't too heavy, since I have carpel tunnel. This iron worked good, but not great. 3.0 out of 5 stars

I received this iron from my MIL for Christmas 2007. I had asked for a Rowenta that wasn’t too heavy, since I have carpel tunnel. This iron worked good, but not great.

I was going to bring them to the dry cleaners to press becuase I couldn't get the wrinkles out to wear to work. I dreaded spending the money on that. I figured I would give the iron a shot. In one second I flet the difference, I had a beautiful professional looking crease, with one swipe on linen and with steam. I gave the pockets and xtra burst of steam, and I was done, like a handkerchief, I didn't want to stop, and I hate to iron. You can not go wrong with this item.

I have had a Rowenta for years and it finally died on me.(after 20 years) Needless to say this new one outshines the old one. Lighter and irons like a dream. This rowenta is the best.

Because of the few lukewarm reviews on the $49 Rowena DX1700 iron, I decided to purchase it from my local Target (same price) because if it didn't out-perform my current iron, I was definitely planning to return it. Amazon is great in that respect.. being able to print a label, etc., but it meant a trip 4 cold blocks to the Post Office, and waiting for a credit to my account, etc. Target, on the other hand, is a short bus ride away and could instantly reverse the purchase. <br/><br/>I am really surprised! Honestly, this iron is phenomenal.. I don't do this kind of stuff for a living, so those of you who quilt/sew/press on a regular basis may have different standards; but because this so effortlessly took out wrinkles without any "pushing", I decided to do my whole wardrobe, which includes, by the way, a number of lightweight, 100% linen jackets. I couldn't believe my eyes.. there was a post about having to refill the water chamber more than once, but just isn't an issue for me as long as the job gets done fast and well. <br/><br/>If some of the stuff you love to wear is sitting in your sack of un-ironed favorites, and you don't wear it often because you can only wear it once before it needs another "iron-job", for pity's sake, order this guy. In a very small way, it will CHANGE one aspect of your life. I really can't say that much about most purchases! <br/> I was a little nervous about the posts that gigged this particular Rowenta iron.. my lightweight Black & Decker has been with me awhile, and although it does a “decent” job of ironing it was a hassle in terms of the number of steam vents and the amount of time I had to spend on items to get them really looking decent.
