This is the second Rowenta iron I have owned. The first I had for more than 15 years and I loved it, so when I was looking for a new iron I knew that it had to be another Rowenta. The Steamforce 1800W has not disappointed. It heats up very quickly, and makes quick work of any ironing chore due to the number of steam holes it has in the sole plate. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, was due to the dark navy color of the housing it it very difficult to see the water level as you’re filling it.
