I received the Rowenta Access Steam iron in exchange for my trial and honest review.  I have always wanted a Rowenta, but always settled for less expensive brands.  Upon opening the box, it became immediately apparent that this 1700W Rowenta Access steam iron will serve me faithfully for years and years to come.  I was delighted to find that this iron is especially designed to use tap water - I don't have to purchase distilled water anymore!  I read the instructions from cover to cover and realize that with the Rowenta Access steam iron,  I need to treat it with the care it deserves and it will give me the professional results I am looking for.  The sturdy cord is long enough that I don't have to use an extension cord.  Hey, let's be honest.....no one really LIKES to iron, but with the Rowenta Access steam iron, I can enjoy the process!  My old iron is going in the garage sale bin!  Thank you!
