RowentaHandheld Steamer for Clothes, X-Cel, 1600 Watts, 40-Second Fast Heat-Up, Powerful Continuous or On Demand Steam, 1600 Watts, Portable Clothes Steamer, Travel Must Have, Navy Blue, DR8120

I watched several reviews on this Rowenta Handheld Steamer…they were all positive. It was also recommended by my daughter who purchased an earlier model. She researches to death, everything she purchases. If she endorses a product, I know it’s of good quality worthwhile purchasing. It works as described, does a very good job of eliminating wrinkles, is simple to use and seems to be of excellent quality. I use distilled water though tap water is recommended. This eliminates any possibility of mineral deposits which can shorten the life of any appliance that holds water. I tend to err on the side of caution. I purchased a Rowenta iron several years ago. It was very expensive compared to other brands, but it was superior in quality and functionality. I am a home sewer and have purchased at least 8 irons over the past 30 years. I also ironed all my husband’s dress shirts for work before he retired. I would never substitute my iron with a steamer. 100% fine cotton dress shirts require a quality steam iron as do 100% cotton garments, however there is a need for a hand held steamer if you want to have wrinkle free 100% wool jackets, blazers, dress pants, skirts and other pieces of clothing that don’t lend themselves to ironing. There were some reviewer’s complaints regarding the size of the water reservoir which holds just under 200 cc’s of water. What reviewers fail to realize is this: The larger the water reservoir, the heavier the steamer. I don’t want to have to lift a steamer which holds 400-500 cc’s of water. Water is heavy! It’s much less effort to refill it as it runs out of water. When I use my steam iron, I have to refill it every time I iron 1 cotton dress shirt, so it’s no big deal to me to have to refill this steamer. (I use allot of steam when I iron!) I highly recommend this brand & model of handheld clothes steamers. Remember to use caution if you are steaming synthetics. I would hold the steamer farther away from synthetic fabrics just in case it is too hot. For this price point this is an excellent value for the money. The same steamer is $124.00 CDN plus 13 % tax, do the math. I know this is a great value!

Even though I bought a refurbished version of this item, it still works great. I am happy with my purchase. It works well and it doesn’t leak water. I wish the tank was bigger but that’s a minor complaint. It doesn’t take that long for it to heat up. I prefer the Turbo mode as it just works way better than the other mode. I wish the slide button was different. It is easy to move around so sometimes you accidentally remove the lock mode. It removes the wrinkles pretty well and it feels durable. It is very easy to use. I am not a big fan of the design. It looks outdated but as long as it works, I think that makes it have a lot of value for your money.

It does the job however is not that powerful as I was expecting

Great item! Fast, easy to use, very effective, not heavy, easy to store even if hot. This steamer not only fixes wrinkles on sweaters, shirts, winter coats, and curtains, it also saves my nerves when I need to remove wrinkles last minute for myself or my family. This holiday season, the steamer even fixed my tablecloth right before the arrival of the guests, which made me happy.

I bought this in August 2022 and never had a need to use it until a few weeks ago. It gets hot but does not produce any steam. I contacted Rowenta customer service by email; here's their answer: "Rowenta warrants their electrical appliances to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) year from the date of the original purchase. This warranty applies only to the original purchase and does not apply to commercial use, unreasonable use or to damage to the product (not resulting from defect or malfunction) while in possession of the consumer.Based upon the information you have provided; your unit is beyond the terms of our warranty without a receipt indicating purchase of the item within the past 24 months. If you have a copy of a valid receipt, please reply with the purchase receipt attached."So I sent a screenshot of the Amazon order back to them. The response was sorry, 1 year only. That sucks. I wasted $89 bucks. I saw reviews today that rated this model very poorly. For certain, I'll be looking at other brands if I decide I actually need a hand held steamer.

I’ve really been wanting a steamer, but nervous about if I’d find one that’s worth it or a total joke for a steamer. This steamer y’all is THE ONE to get. Comes with attachments that work and easy to change. Ironing can be such a hassle so I really wanted a quality steamer to get the job done when I have a lot that would normally need ironed. I’m able to do all my husbands work shirts and pants and they are just as good as if I were to iron them like I use to. I love using it on my shirts that were folded and have wrinkles that I want to wear that day, just plug this steamer in and turn on and my shirt is ready to go within a few minutes. I’ve borrowed other steams from friends and they just don’t seem to get as many wrinkles out as this one. I haven’t tried ironing anything that would like lay down flat, I hang everything from a hanger and iron (it comes with an over the door hook to hang hangers on which is nice!) it’s not ideal for travel because it is pretty big and I’d be nervous about it accidentally getting crushed unless you very carefully pack it, but it would take up a bit of room. So end of the story, I would highly recommend this for a hime needing a good steamer

This is the 2nd one of these I own. The other one I had forever before I dropped it hard and it broke. It still worked well I just got tired of holding it together and I was scared to just glue it back. So I bought this one on prime day b/c of the great sale & I'm so happy with it again. Hopefully I won't drop this one!! It is a little heavy with it filled with water so if you can't hold anything heavy this is not for you.
