 A steam machine January 14, 2007

I like to use a lot of steam when I iron, and the Focus comes up to temperature fast and makes great evenly distributed steam. The automatic steam function works pretty well and is easy to use, but I tend to ad a bit more as much because it makes ironing more fun as any useful reason.
This iron did a spectacular job on my more delicate silk shirts as well as making quick work of rumpled kahkis.
The heat seems more evenly distributed than the Black and Decker i was using, and everything about the steam is superior.
The narrow tip makes the area around buttons noticably easier.
The ONLY issues I have with the Focus is that it doesn't have an on/off button (it does have a great three way auto off feature which I tested to verify for safetys sake). It sometimes draws an arc when plugging and unplugging it which can be hard on outlets after extended use.
It also will drip a little durring longer sessions of use.
Overall very highly recomended.
Heavy, but January 11, 2007

I find the iron a little heavy, because of my arthritic thumb, wrist. But it irons beautifully, and I suspect that is partly because of its weight! Best steaming system I've ever had, and the design of the tip is great around buttons and tight corners.
My first ever review of an appliance... July 23, 2007

I've never been prompted to write a review of any product that I've purchased over the years, but the Rowenta Focus iron has changed all that. After 50-plus years of ironing, I think I've tried every iron on the market. And I've been dissatisfied with them all. My latest, a Black and Decker, remained on the same setting (the hottest), because it was NEVER hot enough. I wear a lot of cotton and linen, which, of course, means a lot of wrinkles. I've misted and starched (when appropriate) ahead of time, all to no avail. I was just about ready to go back to an all polyester wardrobe when I asked a tailor in my hometown to recommend a good iron. Without hesitation, she said, "Rowenta". So I read all the reviews I could find, and decided to take the plunge.
WOW!!! First of all, with my old Black and Decker, I'd have to iron a sleeve or panel of fabric in three or four passes. But with the Rowenta, it only took one pass to remove the wrinkles, even on linen. I quickly realized that my ironing time would be cut in half! And the narrow tip for getting inbetween buttons is genius-inspired. And the STEAM!!! For those who've said it consumes a lot of water, well---duh?? It TAKES a lot of water to produce that much steam.
If you've had it, as I did, with poorly fuctioning equipment, treat yourself to this product. You may just find yourself having a love affair with an appliance. What a joy!!
Another great iron August 23, 2007

I only have one issue with this iron. I have almost burnt my hand twice from the amount of steam this iron gives off. But that is what makes it such an excellent iron. One pass is all I need to get the most stubborn shirts looking crisp - no starching required. Highly recommended...just keep your hands clear.
 This is #3 for me! July 4, 2007

The DZ5080 is my third Rowenta iron. I like that it offers numerous steam vents, glides smoothly over the item I am ironing. It may be a little heavy, however this is a professional quality iron, so one should expect a heavier iron. I like the more pointed tip, making it easy to iron around buttons, get in pleated areas and the usually more hard to iron areas. If you iron and are particular about the results this iron
should please you.
