Best iron I've ever used by far! Ignore the Naysayers.
I've been ironing for many years and find it very therapeutic. I've tried many hotel irons and last had a 1600-watt Shark which I thought was pretty good. The 1850-watt DW9540 takes ironing to a new level and, as someone else pointed out, really is the high-end sportscar of irons. Clothes come out almost like new and markedly better than any other iron I've used. In particular, I've never seen an iron do so well on seams - it is likely due to the vast amount of steam as well as the many nozzles along the center. The weight of the iron makes it so you don't get accidental wrinkles from the fabric bunching up - I wouldn't have expected this, but it is really good at preventing bunching on both sides of items like slacks or sleeves.I nearly didn't buy this model because of people complaining about the trigger. I think it's really well designed and quite useful. You barely have to touch it to get a good amount of steam and it gives you incredible control. Given the large amount of steam that this thing produces you want it for safety as well as to prevent using up all your water too quickly. Also, you can really have at seams and wrinkles to your heart's desire. You can go through a full tank of water for a single item or once you become more efficient probably 3-5 items on a tank.People also complained about the weight. It's not that noticeable. I almost thought that Amazon sent me the wrong thing because the unopened package felt so light. The glide plate on the iron is very smooth and you don't need to really lift the iron that often. The fine tip at the top is noticeably better than other irons at removing fine wrinkles in difficult areas. From using hotel irons, there are many simple, lightweight irons that have nice non-stick coatings and actually perform quite well. This iron is equally smooth and also has some sort of coating, so I don't feel like anything is missing. This iron may occasionally drip a small amount when using lots of steam, but it is nothing compared to the major dripping I've experienced in inexpensive hotel irons.Rowena really pays attention to details. This iron has a specially designed solid and wide base so the iron is incredibly stable when resting upright. All my other irons would quickly wobble and come close to falling off the ironing board with the slightest movement of the ironing board. The cord is reasonably long - as long as my Shark.Yes, the iron restarts in Wool mode after plugging it in, but it's a simple and quick click to Cotton. Warm-up from room temperature up is 5-10 seconds and you can already start ironing if needed. If the iron is already hot, 1850 watts will warm it up in just a couple seconds. My Shark at 1600 watts would sometimes blow my circuit breaker. This iron is very well controlled and while once or twice I might see my room lights instantaneously dim, it has extremely good voltage control and has not once blown my fuse. One minor issue is that the manual says to turn off the iron before unplugging - there is no off button except for auto-off, so I still have to resort to quickly pulling the plug like I would do with all my other irons.Out of the box the iron looked perfectly new, but there were some minor calc deposits that were coming out. Not sure if this was from factory testing or what. A 3-min calc-clean cycle made it all go away completely.Very well worth the $110 I spent. Ups my ironing for many years to come, noticeably improves my clothes over other irons, and the therapeutic benefit of this insanely good iron is worth every penny. Ignore all of the naysayers out there. This iron rocks!

Nothing better than the quality of Rowenta!
Okay, expensive, and yes you can buy several cheap irons by the time this one poops out on you. To add to that, you will have to buy several cheap irons over and over or buy one Rowenta.

Has Pros and Cons
This is my second Rowenta iron. I purchase my first one in 2008 for $47.99 from Bed, Bath and Beyond. It performed well until it developed a leak coming from the retractable electrical cord casing. That first Rowenta lasted longer than any other brand I had, so I stuck with the manufacturer. Both irons have the self-cleaning feature. The new iron weighs 3 pounds 12 ounces empty and 4 pounds 8 ounces with water. My old iron weighed 3 pounds 4 ounces. The heavier weight is noticable. The base is wider promoting stability. The sole plate is not polished. The steam output is enough to steam my glasses. The cord is not retractable. The cord is long enough. The cord is rubber coated and drags pulling the fabric. Very disappointing A slippery-fabric cover on the cord would solve this issue. I tested both auto-shut-off features; horizontal idle turns off after 30 seconds, verticle idle auto-shut-off happens after 8 minutes. The water tank holds ample water. There is a slight vibration as the water pump fills the steam chamber while in the horizontal position. Not a big deal. To summarize: Con: heavy weight with a cord that needs constant attention to prevent dragging on the fabric. Pro: Ample steam with safety features that work. It uses 1,800-1,850 Watts. Make sure you have a GFI on that circuit.

Great Iron
It was too heavy I like the iron, but I just couldn’t use it because I needed something a little lighter so I want to buy another one like it, but it was not as heavy really like this kind of iron. Really like this product has been using one of these iron for a very, very long time. A great I will give it five stars.

Rusting
This iron gets hot, has a lot of steam and it is heavy (which is good and bad). It does a really fabulous job pressing/steam on a quilt I’m making. After a few months it started spitting rusty water staining a new expensive cover. The irons cleaning system doesn’t work and I always empty it of water when storing. As it’s still in warranty I contacted rhe manufacturer. I need to get a box and materials to pack and drive to UPS to return for repair. I was told it would take 2-3 weeks just to evaluate. So no iron for what a month ?? means I need to buy another. I have used Rowenta irons for many many years. This stinks as I need to buy another. Very very frustrating for this price point.

Good Iron
I wear linen, almost exclusively. That means I put a lot of mileage into my steam irons. This iron has transformed my life - I can get rid of those awful sleeve wrinkles that run down the entire arm in ten seconds flat. The weight of the plate facilitates rapid wrinkle removal without messing up the alternate side. I swear that I'm ironing twice as fast and twice as completely. If I were in the professional ironing circuit, this would be my sidearm.Also, it's not made in China (produit de france / entworfen in Deutschland). That's worth the 7X premium over a cheap Phillips or Black and Decker just by itself.

Good, but not for us....
A quality product, but way too heavy and when you are ironing and if your hand is in the wrong place you can bump the indicator switch.
