"I love this iron. The fact that you can set it so that it does not turn off is a blessing. It works great dry or with steam. This iron should be sold by all quilting stores."

"I got this at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Took it home and could not wait to see if it was a decent iron - I just returned the Rowenta DX8800 since it decided that steam was not important for ironing after a week of ownership. This iron basically had the same features and for the most part, I wanted the steam "shot" feature since I do a ton of ironing on 100% cotton. (I am starting to buy the Stafford Shirts at JC Penney - wait until they are two for $19.00 - right out of the dryer and they are PERFECT!) I picked one of the shirts the Rowenta died on and started to iron. The location of the on/off switch ensures that you will turn it off many times while using it. The other electronic switches on the handle are also at risk for getting changed...so you might start out with a low setting and end up two settings higher. Or the other way around. The iron takes a long time to heat up and this is just a plain waste of time when you have 7 shirts to get done. The steam shot function works only after pumping it four times or more....and the wrinkles are still there. Ironing is uneven. The two front misters miss the shirt and sprayed past the ironing board -- they also don't mist that well and lots of heavy droplets of water were all over the shirt instead of in a focused wrinkle spot. The light can be a plus, but with all of the other issues that this iron has, I would pick another. The Rowenta really did make a shirt into a ten-or-less minute job, but they are totally unreliable. Tomorrow I try the Braun Freestyle Pro. I have to have shirts ready for a new job right after Labor Day - so I have time to experiment."
