Steam Force Stainless Steel Soleplate Steam Iron for Clothes, 400 Microsteam Holes, 1800 Watts, Ironing, Fabric Steamer, Garment Steamer, Digital Display, Precision Tip, DW9440

Wow, does this iron perform! It's easy to fill with water, it heats up quickly and it produces incredible steam. It cut my ironing time at least in half. It was especially wonderful at ironing linen towels. The forced push of the steam thru the iron is amazing. I didn't even need to dampen them! I sure wish I'd had this iron after I bought floor length linen drapes last year that required pressing before I could put them up. It is a very large iron and it is the heaviest iron I have had (heavier than their last "top of the line" iron, which was retired due to the cord cracking around where it attaches to the iron, but, it had a long life). I don't mind the weight, but if you don't want something big and heavy, you might wish to look at different models. I am very happy with my purchase of this Rowenta Force Pro Steam Iron.

I iron nearly every day and this is a heavy iron which I love. There are two things I which I wish were different: It doesn't have a shut off and it doesn't have a spray feature. It does have a good steam pulse, however. If I want some spray, I keep a spray bottle of water near my ironing board. It heats up quickly.

I love this iron. I iron quite a lot and the steam feature cuts down my time doing so. Previously I had a Rowenta steam iron and it lasted near twenty years. This current model is much lighter than my first one. This is great because I’m older and now have some arthritis in my hand. This newer model doesn’t have automatic shut off. I appreciate this because my old iron would occasionally shut off when I wasn’t finished but maybe walked away to do something for a minute or two. When that happened I’d have to unplug, reset, and wait for it to get heated. This newer Rowenta steam iron holds more water too, which is great if you iron a lot. One dislike is the control setting is too light and I have difficulty seeing which setting I’m putting on. Way more pluses than that one issue. Don’t confuse this model with other lower priced Rowenta steam irons (like their Focus model) because this model has a higher wattage that actually allows easy correction when accidentally creating an unwanted crease. This models easily removes such mistakes. Cord is not retractable but never a desired feature for me.

Nice but I was hoping for more steam power

I have to say, I’m officially over this "Pro" iron after just a week of pure frustration. Between getting my second grader ready for school and trying to look somewhat put together for my own day, I really don’t have time for a tool that just adds more work to my plate. This morning was the last straw. I was finishing up a fresh white school polo, and wouldn’t you know it, the iron spat out a big, dirty-looking water blotch right across the chest. Seriously? It doesn’t just steam; it leaks like a faucet! I’ve spent more time this week tossing around a hairdryer trying to fix the water stains this thing leaves behind than I’ve actually spent ironing. For a brand that’s supposed to be high-end, I expected it to work without drama. I can’t trust it around our nice clothes at all. As if the leaking wasn’t enough, the "smart" design is clearly not made for someone like me, who’s always in a rush. The touch-sensitive display? Total nightmare. My palm accidentally bumps the heat settings every single time I adjust my grip, and I nearly scorched a delicate blouse yesterday because of it. This thing is heavy, clunky, and the steam trigger is right where my fingers naturally rest, so I’m constantly getting blasted with steam when I don’t want it. I bought this iron hoping it would make my life easier, but it’s become a daily source of stress instead.

I have an iron I bought a year ago but it never got very hot and produced a poor amount of steam. This iron is a game changer! Gets hot and produced great steam. It is a big iron though and heavier but so much better than my old one!

Works great great. Ironing is easy No leaking of water. Good steam

I’ve been a loyal Rowenta Steam Iron user for over three decades. I own one of the older models that still works, but it lacks the heating and steam capabilities of the newer ones. All these irons were manufactured in Germany, and I never had any issues during the 30 years I owned them. The last one DW9220 only last three years as it started leaking or more completely soaking my ironing board and floor. I had to iron dry with a spray bottle. First bad experience. I probably have only bought before this one, four Rowenta Irons. One just because it was a Professional version on sale. The Rowenta Steam Force Iron I purchased was used or tried out. (Was this an Amazon issue?) I resolved that issue. However, I noticed that it’s now made internationally and doesn’t seem to meet Germany’s standards for Rowenta. The heat dial is difficult to read and use. The dial doesn't turn easily or seem to set where you need it. Nor does it heat up quickly at all. Using the wrinkles feature is awkward when using steam or spray on top of the iron because the dial is just underneath. You have to hold the iron further back or different. I do appreciate the heavier weight, but it’s not too heavy. It glides smoothly, making ironing easier. The model I purchased DW9440, which it states has a digital display, but it actually has a dial underneath. I can't speak to leakage, yet. As with the Rowenta DW9220 it worked great for approximately two and half years until it began to leak water onto clothes. Then, began to poor water out the end of cord and through the iron. So I will hold on to hopeI’ll hold on to the hope that this Rowenta Steam Force won’t leak. (For those experiencing leaks, please refer to the instructions.) I know it sounds silly, but there’s a correct way to use the steam button. Value now is much cheaper for what I paid in October, 2025. Rowenta used to be a great company that stood behind their products. Make sure to registered your Iron.

I'm super happy with this purchase!!!! I had to replace my very old reliable Shark iron that died. Before purchasing this one I purchased and returned many different irons (brands like Singer, Shark, Rowenta and two no name brands) all of them did not get hot enough. I do a lot of sewing and quilting so heat is very important for pressing seams and getting crisp lines. It gets super hot and has a nice plate to keep clean. Steam function is nice too, but I don't need it very often with this iron because the iron gets super hot. The cord is not as long as I would like but its manageable. Hoping this one lasts.

Brilliant machine. I’m new to the steam generator game, but am definitely a convert. This iron pours out the steam, easily ironing through 8+ layers of fabric (e.g. a folded table cloth) so you spend 1/4 of the time ironing each piece. Pant legs? Lay them flat and iron through all 4 layers. We also use flannel paper-towel substitutes and I can do a whole stack at once before rolling them back onto the holder for reusing. I never bothered ironing sheets and duvet covers before, but I know many people do, and I just might start now simply because I can fold them and iron them while they’re folded.

This iron has super long cords, so goes where you go. It is light weight but delivers lots of steam power. Ironing doesn't need to be drudgery. I use mine primarily for quilting and sewing. Best value for your money.

Great iron but only lasted 2 years. Sparks would fly when I unplug the iron

I have a rowenta iron Rowenta Pro Precision iron. Micro steam 400 at home and I've had it for 15 years but I do sewing classes so I wanted an extra one this one was on sale for 175 so i thought I would try it out well let me tell you it's not comparable at all to my old one. This one keeps turning off if your not using it and the steam takes forever to come it's not instant and when I went to take it home from mg class the water leaked everywhere so I had to empty it and even then it still leaked. I am considering returning the iron they just don't make them like they used to i feel like the older model was great it was sturdy and heavy durable this one is so light feels like cheap plastic. The only thing that feel similar to the my old one is the weight of the iron it's self I will test it out one more time and decide what I'll do. I like on demand steam.
