Review of Rowenta DM860 Professional Luxe Iron

Customer Ratings:

I bought this Rowenta iron a while back from Bed, Bath and Beyond and have to say I am very disappointed in it. Friends had encouraged me to get a Rowenta saying I would never buy any other brand. In hindsight, I should have taken it back; however, life gets in the way and I have continued to use it.... satisfied or not.

Because I am so disappointed in this iron, I am going to start with the CONS.... then maybe I can find a PRO or two to add....

CONS:

Again, I am flabbergasted how something so heavy duty can be so ineffective. Without spray starch or steam, this iron will NOT remove a simple wrinkle.

Heavy and bulky, it is difficult to maneuver this iron...

It takes forever to produce steam. I often run out of patience waiting on it, only to have the water spill out on my garment.

Pretty pricy, too!

PRO(S):

It is heavy duty and holds up well to the constant use.

All in all, I do not recommend this iron. My mother's small inexpensive iron works much better and produces steam within 2 minutes. Maybe I will give this iron to my daughter and buy myself one of those...

One of the most important criteria for Rowentas, anymore, is if they are original Germany products. Rowenta has some irons made in Mexico with the plant's relocation to Mexico.

This iron is solid, heavy, and has a good burst. There is a self-clean option and what is important is the Vertical Steam feature also. The plate is smooth along the clothes and stays clean.

Rowenta irons are my favorite, they get hot, stay hot, and have good steaming features...important. This flows easily. I recommend this iron. Rizzo

I'm very happy with the iron. It's a nice heavy iron that is perfect for pressing when piecing quilts.

Hard to find this quality iron as most today tend to be lightweight.

Honest reviews on Rowenta DM860 Professional Luxe Iron

I recently purchased a reconditioned Rowenta DM860 Professional Luxe Iron for my quilting needs. This reconditioned iron is the same model that I also use for my laundry which has performed well for the past 6 years without issue. I am very disappointed in the reconditioned iron. It has not performed well at all. My intention was to save money but it now appears I will have to buy a replacement iron for my quilting. Lesson learned, no reconditioned appliances again. I do not think the reconditioned iron was QC'd properly prior to shipping.
