Rowenta DZ9080 Advancer Iron Review

by kristine on February 4, 2011

Great news for all mother and housewives!! A completely new design and new construction technique of Advancer Iron – Rowenta DZ9080 is in the market. The Rowenta DZ9080’s soleplate features a silicate-coated stainless steel core, with 400 microstream holes for even steam distribution, and the advanced steam system delivers high pressure steam for thicker fabrics and tough wrinkle for fast, effective crease removal. What’s more?  Is the LED indicators that deliver different colours to indicate over heat, cold and correct temperature in an easy-to-use-system. Well, as you know maintaining correct temperature is key to good ironing and proper garment care.

Rowenta DZ9080 Advancer Steam Iron Review - Best Steam Iron

Further to the above comments, Rowenta DZ9080 has 3 smart auto-off features where it will off in 8 minutes, if put in it vertically and 30 seconds if put it horizontally or tipped over. Sound nice huh? It could be an annoyance sometime. For your information, it cannot shut off manually while it is plugged off!

Rowenta DZ9080 is the best iron in the market as the steam is concentrated at the tip to remove hard-to reach wrinkles, provide comfort and control, and extra stability when iron is on its heel. It also helps prevent spilling of water and spotting clothes. It is durable and certainly makes your life easier when you have lots of ironing to do.

Another bad news is Rowenta DZ9080 advancer iron is the most expensive iron in its industry. To make it sound more comfortable, the price shows its quality!! Worth to have one.

Rowenta DW8080 Pro Master Iron

Rowenta DW8080 Pro Master Iron is one of the Rowenta steam irons that many people like for its effectiveness.

Rowenta DW8080 Pro Master Iron


Product Features:

  • 1700 Watts of power; 3-Way Smart Automatic Shut Off
  • Variable Steam, Burst of Steam, Vertical Steam and Cool Mist Spray
  • Microsteam 400 Precision Soleplate – highly polished stainless steel for excellent glide and resistance
  • High Precision Tip for hard to reach areas
  • Extra large 12.7oz water tank
  • Self Clean System
  • Anti Calcium System
  • Anti Drip System
  • Comfortable and ergonomic handle; 7-foot cord with 360 degree pivot

This steam iron has a lot of steam! The number of steam holes (400 steam holes!) and amount of steam released meant that you will only have to make one swipe to get your shirts crisp and wrinkle free. This feature is what most people liked and praised upon this model.

Rowenta DW8080 Pro Master Iron also has a burst of steam feature which can also be used vertically, but with all that steam this is hardly ever needed, except for those age-old wrinkles. The shape is good for tight corners, and the weight is comfortable, not too heavy or light. The seven-foot swivel cord allows for flexibility! This is definitely a steam iron that will cut down ironing time.

Most users are pleased about this iron except for one thing: the dark blue color tank is not transparent enough to see the water level. Since the steam output is great, you’ll need to refill the tank more often, and it is not fun to spill water every time.

A couple other users commented that the temperature setting dial is quite sensitive. A slight brush against the dial will set it off to another temperature.

Other than that, the Rowenta DW8080 Pro Master Iron is a great iron and it’s below $100!

This is a superb product that has definitely made ironing a lot easier to deal with. I bought the Rowenta DZ5080 Focus Stainless-Steel 1700-Watt Iron after I was told that this was one of the more reliable brands for irons.

My first impression of the Rowenta Focus Iron was its weight – this baby’s heavy! I suppose that adds to its efficiency but on a more practical level, those with mild arthritis may have an issue here. Otherwise, consider it exercise for leaner forearms.

The iron heats up fast and distributes powerful steam evenly. Naturally it uses a lot of water because of its high-powered steam feature, so while some may find it inconvenient to keep refilling the reservoir, I think it’d be impossible to have such a great appliance without this slight catch.

It presses beautifully on cotton and linen, with ironing time greatly reduced. Just a quick glide on each side and I’m done! A girlfriend used to complain about having to go over a dress shirt 3 to 4 times and I’ve since recommended the Rowenta Focus to her. She can’t thank me enough. I also love the precision of its tip for going under buttons.

Despite singing all these praises for the Rowenta Focus Iron, I’m increasingly getting fed up with the auto-shut off function. It doesn’t have an on/off button so the only way to switch it off is to leave it to do so by itself. The problem is, sometimes it switches itself off when I’m in the middle of ironing.

The manual says it auto shuts off after 8 minutes of being vertical and 30 seconds of being horizontal or tipped over. While I applaud any safety precaution, this function has been acting up lately, even after I follow the manual’s advice of giving it a “gentle sideways shake”.

I’m hoping the problem has more to do with me than with the iron, because it’ll be a shame to let this one go.
