Rowenta 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

When I was shopping for the perfect iron I read 100’s of reviews. I have a regular size Rowenta and I love it but read several reviews that were not so favorable on the small travel iron with the biggest complaint being there was not an auto shut off. One person even said “shame on you Rowenta” but that is the biggest PRO for me so I say THANK YOU Rowenta. I quilt and the most aggravating thing for a quilter is to need the iron and it has automatically shut off. This iron is perfect in every way, lots of steam, gets really hot, and is the perfect size for piecing. The no on/off button was an easy fix with a cheap switch that the cord plugs into. The only weak point in my opinion is possibly the handle. I can see where if not careful it could break.

Nice size iron for doll clothes and smaller projects needing narrow pointy iron. Steams and heats well. Not overly heavy, wrinkles come out. Never enough water capacity in a steam iron. This one is easy enough to fill. Rowenta irons are good.

Steams clothes well and is easy to use. Size is simple to pack. This is my primary travel steamer that gets suits, pants, shirts, etc looking good after unpacking. The water reservoir is small, so I usually end up filling again it after doing 2 or 3 items. It's easy to fill, so that isn't a big deal for a travel steamer.

I’m a textile artist and quilter and I bought this because I needed something compact to take to workshops. It’s a great little iron for doing small work. I love that it stays hot, doesn’t switch off when you aren’t using it. But the steam feature isn’t great. Either too much, or not enough. And it doesn’t get very hot. But, so cute and tiny and easy to store and transport.

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 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.

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.

Used this in SE Asia and it was great. Small, light, powerful iron w steam.
