Travel Iron, Pro Compact Stainless Steel Soleplate Hand Held Steamer Iron for Clothes, 200 Microsteam Holes, 1000 Watts Ironing, Fabric Steamer, Dual Voltage, Mini Iron, Purple, DA1560

UPDATE: The third one was fine. Yay! But not great for what I needed it for. I really wanted to love this little iron, and as you can see from my review, I tried so hard to get a decent one from Amazon. But I finally got one, so here goes; The iron itself is fabulous and steams really well and irons just as good as any regular-sized iron. It has a great amount of steam holes and it’s super lightweight. But what made me return it was that I actually wanted it for quilting, and I regularly use a starch spray with my fabrics, and this was leaving a slight residue on the base of the iron, which meant I’d have to clean the base every time I used it. So I decided a ceramic sole plate iron would be a better choice. This might not seem a big deal when you’re just ironing clothes while on vacation or away on a business trip, and as basic ironing goes, it really isn’t as you’re probably not going to use a finishing spray and have to clean it constantly, and that’s why I’ve given it 5 stars because it’s fantastic, but when you’re quilting and using it as much as I am, it really is a problem. The only other niggle I had was, there wasn’t any light on it to show the iron was “live” or had reached temperature. But when you’re traveling, this isn’t a deal breaker. It’s super light and folds down beautifully. I also really like the dual voltage aspect, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a travel iron. As for me and my quilting iron quest, my search goes on. I ordered the first iron, which had a quite a deep scratch on the sole plate, so I requested a replacement. When it arrived, it was obvious that it had been used previously, as the sole plate had fine scratches all over it like it had been cleaned with a scourer. I’ve again, returned this second one and I’ve ordered another one hoping that the third time’s a charm!

my opinion, the truth, no pictures, use your imagination. 1. Skeptical because of review displaying a broken wan (handle) and the Cord being (looked to me like) torn out of the unit. The review, the handle would not stay upright, hmm, why is the cord torn out. And all the time the review was the unit broke itself. 2. Received my unit today. Delivered by USPS, the package/parcel was banged up/dented. but once opened the unit was intact. Small prayer of thanks. 3. The handle. I lifted mine up, robust click and it stayed up. I put a small amount on the handle it would not go down. I eyed the unit and at the back of the unit and oversized button that reflected the word "PUSH" i did and then the hand dropped to the down position. 4. It then dawned to me the review about the broken handle was the cause of a "Heavy Handed" I don't read instructions person. A pile of pressure and snap the plastic hinge breaks, the handle will not stay in the upright position, and the unit was then flung through the air by holding the cord which became detached. 5. A bad review was written, but the true explanation of events was not. 6. I took my unit to the ironing board, plugged it in filled with 60ml of "DISTILLED" water (bad water at my home). The Unit heated properly, produced steam properly and I did my micro ironing (advent calendar, all pieces hand cut, ironed, and sewn) and the unit ironed perfectly. 7. This iron is a KEEPER. Also, it was sold by Amazon, so therefore-my Prime Membership resulted in a two day delivery. (I'm surprised it arrived on time.) 8. There you have it. Treat your stuff nicely, follow instructions and your merchandise will last a long time.

I absolutely love this iron. I sew every single day and I keep this iron on my table right next to my sewing machine. My favorite thing about this iron is that it doesn’t turn off after a 8 minutes. If you sew or quilt, you know how annoying it is to need to press something only to find a cold iron. The size of this iron is perfect for my hands and it’s not heavy! It gets nice and hot and removes all wrinkles. . The steam is fantastic. Some people think the water tank is too small, but this is a small travel iron and shouldn’t be expected to hold a ton of water. I just keep a bottle of water on my table and refill as needed. I also use a WorkLion pressing mat that is fantastic with this iron. I almost didn’t order this iron because I dislike the color so much. However, it’s not so purple in person and I can can live with it.

This is a great little steam iron with one problem. The shot-of-steam button doesn’t function. Well, that’s not entirely true. It works maybe twice if you over fill the water tank. However, if you over fill the tank and press the shot-of-steam button water shoots out of the seal. This is the second iron I’ve gotten - returned the first for the same reason. But I’m keeping this one because even with that nonworking button it’s still a great steam machine. So I won’t have vertical steaming, doesn’t matter to me. I love its size and how hard it works. I like to quilt at home or anywhere and I like crisp folds and flat seams so this iron is just the ticket. I hope you others have better luck with the steam button. Happy pressing!

What a fantastic, little gadget, that any if not every, frequent traveler, who cares about their business attire and/or special events clothing being used at attended events and such, - just aught to carry along for that added peace of mind. A great brand in the pro-iron industry too. This travel model is dual-voltage too and very compact. Yet feels sturdy. You' ll appreciate it's ultra-smooth chrome-ish/mirror-finish stainless steel bottom plate that's just phenomenal at disbursement of steam through its extra-wide coverage area. I've had other brands and style and in my honest unpaid opinion, this is the letter hands down! Should you be in the market for said item - buy with confidence. Now the negative here for me anyways - it doesn't come in black or silver in this wattage nor another and for a guy purple just isn't up there in my favorites but it is quite handy nonetheless.

Needed something small I could keep in my room at home (around the size of a dorm room). Easy to put away, the handle locks into place easily and the button on the bottom to fold it back in isn’t easy to accidentally push so no fear of your hand flying down. It’s a great size, but due to the size the water container (the handle) isn’t super big and will probably need to be refilled often if you steam a lot of clothing. Heats up quick but takes a while to cool down (not a big deal for me, I just put it in the corner until it’s cool). The cord is a good length and easy to plug into the wall. It had a bit of a funky smell the first time I used it but I am assuming thats because, well, it was the first time I used it. Knocked out the wrinkles in my shirt real easy.

Works great, upright steam is appreciated on my wrinkled suit. I also travel overseas so the 110 to 220 at the flip of a switch is appreciated. April 1, 2014 update. It still works great and it's been to Lithuania, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, various U.S. states in checked baggage (canvas wheeled bag)... and no issues. Perhaps the complaints about it breaking must be due to mishandling? You just need to pack it in the center of your bag and surround it with clothes. I have totally ditched using hotel irons. They take forever, leave marks, and can't knock the wrinkles out of my suit. December 1, 2105 Update. This iron is still going strong. Just went to Europe and Asia again and it's traveled another 200,000 miles since my last review. I pack it in my canvas luggage on it's side buffered my clothing on all sides. I use it to iron, of course, but use the vertical steam feature for my suits and ties when I arrive. 15 June, 2017 Update! This iron has now been in Europe, Asia, South America, North America, and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles sine my first review. The iron still works great and I take it on every trip. It's much better than any iron a hotel gives you, and you are always assured to have one. I like using it as a steamer, too, to take the wrinkles out of my suits and ties after traveling. I travel using a soft sided bag, so I always pack it in the middle of the case on it's side. Thanks Rowenta. 30 August 2017 Update. My iron finally bit the dust after hundreds of thousands of travel miles. It didn't break, it just stopped working. So I ordered another one today. This iron works better than anything you will find in a hotel, plus the vertical steam knocks the wrinkles out of my suits. October 2018 This one developed a leak after four trips and after one year. That’s too bad, but will buy another. I can’t find anything better.

I had high hopes for this Rowenta Travel Iron, expecting the quality the brand is usually known for, but I was quite disappointed. As someone who travels frequently, a reliable compact iron is essential, and unfortunately, this one didn't meet my needs. Firstly, the heating was inconsistent. It took a long time to heat up, and even on the highest setting, it struggled to remove wrinkles from basic cotton shirts. I found myself going over the same areas repeatedly, which was frustrating and time-consuming, especially when trying to get ready in a hotel room. The "Pro Compact" design is indeed small and lightweight, which is a plus for packing. However, the small size also translates to a tiny soleplate, making ironing larger items like dresses or pants quite tedious. Another issue I encountered was with the steam function. It was weak and sporadic, barely making a difference in tackling stubborn creases. I even followed the instructions carefully regarding water levels, but the performance didn't improve. Overall, while the portability is a selling point, the lackluster heating power and ineffective steam function make this Rowenta Travel Iron a poor choice for anyone who needs reliable wrinkle removal on the go. I ended up having to rely on hotel irons anyway, defeating the purpose of bringing my own. I would not recommend this product.

Tuvimos una plancha igual por 8 años. Ya luego dejó de funcionar, tal vez por descuido nuestro (falta de mantenimiento), por lo que compramos exactamente el mismo modelo. Lo que nos gustó mucho es que es de tamaño chico (mi esposa y yo somos de tallas chicas). Con otras planchas batallábamos mucho. El sistema de vapor funciona muy bien. Está ideal para viajar, ya que requiere poco espacio. Lo único malo es que el contenedor de agua es muy chico y hay que estarlo rellenando, pero se entiende porque es compacta.

Rare that i write product reviews but this one deserve one in my opinion. I purchased this Rowenta iron for my trip in Sicily having to stay at 7 different hotels in 2 weeks. I like when my clothes are perfectly pressed and could not be certain that at each hotel over there an iron would be at my disposal. The size, weight and robustness of this iron is perfect and easy to bring in carry-on and back pack. The water compartment capacity is enough to do two clothes if using the vapor pressure continuously and easy to refill in need be. Great as well that there is a switch to select between 110 / 220Volts which was required in Italy. It is very quick to bring to temperature set-point and handling this little guy is a charm. To a point that I prefer this one over my older regular size iron. The only drawback is if this falls on the floor, there is great probability of breaking the handle so to be careful. Thanks for reading.

This is my 2nd time I buy this iron because I liked it so much. It is the hottest little iron on the market but what out for the handle, do not put too much pressure as it will break and the handle will not stay up any longer. I use this iron for quilt retreats and when I had tennis elbow I could not use my big heavy rowenta pro master. It allowed me to continue quilting and did a fine job...it goes through water a lot but it only has maybe a half or three quarters of a cup. I just kept a water jug around. The pointy nose is useful as well but it’s small size was useful for working on small quilt blocks and easy to carry around for a quilt retreat.

Está fabulosa, de muy buen tamaño para viaje, no tan pequeña, muy potente en calentamiento, bastante funcional. Justo como la quería. Me encantó

Materiales de buena calidad, realmente portátil, el mejor tamaño
