Product Description
For those of you who still use steam irons at home, especially for a large family, Rowenta irons are known for being solid and dependable. The DZ9080 moves the steam iron up to yet a higher level employing a new design and using better materials to make ironing easier and more efficient than ever. A completely new construction technique provides the Rowenta Microsteam soleplate with the best ever steam and heat distribution for the most effective ironing. More than 400 microsteam holes ensure even and optimal steam distribution from tip of the soleplate to the rounded rear for fast, expert results with ease. A multiple layer stainless steel soleplate is attached to the heavy aluminum core in a unique way that provides an ultra smooth surface with a thin edge that can iron up to buttons, seams and delicate fabrics without snagging. Platinium treating on the soleplate's surface offers excellent glide and the scratch resistant properties of the stainless steel produces a harder surface with better non stick and non scratch properties. The DZ9080 has an electronic temperature control that combines sensitive electronic sensors and controls with LED indicators for precision and accuracy. Rowenta's pressurized Steam Advance system adjusts for optimal performance and results when used with different fabrics. Delicate steam is used for delicate fabrics that require gentle care. High pressure steam for thicker fabrics and tough wrinkles. So to flatten out stubborn wrinkles and to get the best appearance from all your clothes, the Rowenta DZ9080 Advancer Iron is the best home tool for the job.

 Looking for quality January 6, 2009
This iron is heavy for an iron. It takes some arm strength to iron with it. My wife said "I'll get used to it.....". Previously we had a mid size Rowenta and the steam unit in that model broke within a year. Very disappointed but thought I'd try them one more time.
 Most expensive iron lasts less than a year December 30, 2008
I quilt and actually like to iron. I bought the Rowenta Dz9080 Advancer iron for the steam factor and doing broad ironing on flat fabrics. A couple of months into use some plastic piece related to the burst of steam flew off. Never did get it back on, but it didn't seem to stop the steam, and I was able to continue to use. Now, about a year later, I'm working on a project and it suddenly overheats, I can smell it burning. I turn it off and now when I turn it on, the lights come on, but it doesn't heat. Don't buy this product if you think that price is an indicator of quality. It's a heavy iron,, had a nice nose design for getting into tight places, but let's face it. I had less than 100 hours on the iron and it is now a giant paper weight. Totally not worth it.
 Rowenta Rocks! December 29, 2008
This Iron is the most advanced design and excellent quality of its kind.
I was very satisfied wtih its ease of use and very impressed with its performance. This is truly a professional quality Iron as it actually irons and presses even the thickest of materials (such as heavy denim) in half the time it would take an ordinary steam iron. When pressing the steam button on an ordinary iron, you would get a momentary blast of steam. When pressing the steam button on the Rowenta Iron, it delivers a full three to four second blast of steam! I ownned an earlier model Rowenta steam Iron that lasted just over five years.
Wife loves it...BUT December 20, 2008
This model does the best job of any my wife has used. But the Rowentas in this price range appear to have a design flaw.
Be forewarned by the 'Troubleshooting' issue in the manual: "Yellow and Red LED are blinking alternately".
The first iron lasted almost three years before it's blinking death. But she liked the iron's performance. The replacement, with a fancier/better sole plate (and about $20.00 costlier), blinked/died in one week.
Amazon did a superb job of fast, free replacement under warranty. If it weren't for the warranty, we would have switched brands. The price demands reliability.
Relative humidity here is usually over 70%. High enough to cause fluorescent shop light fixtures with electronic ballasts to fail regularly, sometimes right out of the box. Maybe Rowenta's electronics don't like it either? Simple design fix, methinks.
Great steam. Small water reservoir. December 20, 2008
With 400 steam jets and continuous steam setting, I expected less time needed to iron. No saved ironing time, in fact, more time needed as the water reservoir at the continuous steam setting needs to be refilled after each article of clothing, e.g., 60/40 blend man's dress shirt, pair of Docker's khakis. Too much hype about Rowenta, undoubtedly made by those embarrased by the ridiculous price they paid for an average iron.
