My first Rowenta iron that I owned was a house warming gift. It was one of the best gifts that I have ever received. Plus I had never heard of this product before the day it was given to me. I brought my new Rowenta-steam force iron after my first one of twenty years just stops working, never giving it a second thought. This is an iron you can trust, Rowenta is a product you can trust. I would tell anyone who is in the market for a new iron to buy Rowenta, especially if they want the best iron on the market! It's a perfect weight, I like the smoothness and how it just seems to glide over your clothes. It has powerful steam output and I like the modern look of my new Rowenta iron. Thank you from one happy loyal customer. I will always buy a Rowenta Iron.
