DW2459 Access Steam Cordreel Steam Iron

Years ago I asked my mother, a wonderful 'sewist' and her mother (my grandmother) was a seamstress-turned-tailor, what kind of clothing iron I should get. She said Rowenta. I'd never heard of it but spent the money and will never buy another brand of iron again. A quarter century later, my older Rowenta is still working but I wanted an upgrade, so I bought this during a Prime sale. What a wonderful new iron! Very easy to use: just add water to the tank, turn the dial, and iron. The heat levels are more precise, and the features are about the same as my previous Rowenta. What I really love about this new iron is the taper-pointed tip - it gets into those smaller folds and spaces where regular irons tend to stay on top of and eliminates wrinkles more efficiently. When I opened the box I was surprised at the larger size but it actually weighs LESS than my former iron. Easy on my wrists and my arm doesn't get fatigued when ironing while sewing clothing (which takes a LOT of ironing). My photograph is of the first shirt I ironed - it took only a little over a minute to iron the entire shirt, collar and all. Great value for the money, especially when Prime season comes. Rowenta for the win!

This iron is easy to use and comes with instructions. It heats up quickly and has a powerful steam function. The cord provides enough length to easily reach your ironing board without struggling. The iron surface is wide and makes wrinkle removal simple. Competitively priced and easy to use. Win win

In my opinion this iron is not heavy as some reviews stated. I absolutely love it! Plug it in and you will be ironing in no time. It glides smoothly over the fabric. I did accidentally melt the collar on one of my blouses, I underestimated how quickly this iron would heat up. This is without a doubt the best iron i have ever owned. I think nothing looks worse than someone wearing wrinkled clothing. If one has a decent iron it only takes a few minutes to make your clothes look nice. I have been living on my own for almost 50 years, so I have owned several irons. I love the retractable cord! Makes storage a breeze. The weight of the iron is sufficient to decrease the effort required to get wrinkles out. I do wish the water reservoir was a bit larger, but that is not a deal breaker for me. The temperature adjustment is in an awkward place which makes it a bit difficult to read. I do recommend that you use a pressing cloth if working with delicate fabric as i melted the collar on a synthetic blouse. Overall i am extremely pleased with my purchase!

The Rowenta Access Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron offers excellent performance with smooth glide, strong steam output, and a convenient retractable cord, making it ideal for everyday ironing. But noticed some water leakage and inconsistent heat. Overall, it's a solid mid-range option for those seeking efficiency and comfort, especially on cotton and linen fabrics.

Honestly, it’s frustrating to see a product that could have so much potential fall short in so many areas. First off, the integrated unit design is supposed to streamline the experience, but all it does is limit versatility. I didn't realize it was all one awkward wonky piece that was downright hideous and impossible to use. Why can’t there be a temperature control option? It’s ridiculous that users must settle for a basic on/off button when customization is necessary. And don’t even get me started on the complete lack of user instructions! It's infuriating to have to figure things out on your own, especially when a little guidance could make a world of difference. Initial setup shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze—good customer support and clear instructions should be a given! Let’s be real: the high price tag is absolutely unjustifiable when the product lacks basic features that would actually enhance its functionality. It’s as though they expect consumers to pay a premium for something that isn’t even close to being worth it. If the company doesn’t step up its game and address these glaring issues, I can’t imagine many people will want to invest in this product. It needs serious improvement! Also, I cannot find any customer service information needed to extend the return date. My mother has been very ill and hospitalized, which has caused me to miss the incredibly short 30-day return window. If I had purchased this elsewhere, I would have gotten at least 90 days. I'm so angry and feel like I threw $75 out the window!

Great iron

I purchased the Rowenta DW2459 1725 watt Steam Iron black and brown. I’m an old geezer. I’ve done a little ironing in my time . I also own a steam press and a nice hand held steamer and used to have a stand alone pro steamer. I recently purchased a Van Husen “Wrinkle Free” shirt that has really been a challenge. After washing, it had a zillion wrinkles. My Steamer wouldn’t touch it. The shirt laughed at the Steam Press. I got out my old Sunbeam iron and it had given up the ghost. So after taking almost a whole day researching “pro” irons I settled on this Rowenta DW2459. It has all the same features of their top of the line models but this particular one is Made in France and still has the Shiny SS sole plate which many reviewers say they miss since the new top model Rowenta’s have a dull looking SS sole plate that does not glide over the fabric as easily. I’ve never used an iron this nice before. I knocked out that challenging wrinkled up shirt in no time. I was amazed at how easily the iron glides over the fabric. The steam output is even and just the right amount. So far I’ve not had to use the extra steam burst feature. The iron heats up really fast and the auto steam feature is perfect. On some irons after you sit them down to arrange your garment on the board there is a lag for the steam to catch up when you pick it up again. Not so with this Rowenta. It is bit heavier than most economical irons but for the most part that is a good thing since you don’t have to go over and over the same area. Once you sit it on the fabric it glides very easily over the fabric. It only takes one or two passes and the wrinkles are gone. It really speeds up your ironing time. It’s fairly easy to fill up with water and is made to use standard tap water. I hope this thing lasts because I’m very pleased with it. Now ironing is not as much of a chore as it used to be.

This is my number 1 iron product. The steam power is strong and smooths out the wrinkles quickly, it is easy to use, cordless, that I love it. Pretty good size. I really love Rowenta iron.
