Rowenta Professional Full Size Clothes Steamer with Screen, 65 Inches, 1.3 Liter Capacity, 1700 Watts, White Garment Steamer, IS8440

My old steamer finally died after about 10 years. It was fine, and I would have been fine replacing it with something similar. I decided to do some research and settled on this Rowenta unit that cost 2x what my old one cost. I figured I use the steamer all the time and my last one lasted 10 years. It isn't hard to make up $50-$100 of value over 10 years. My expectations were much higher because of the price but it completely delivered. My clothes took about half as long to steam as before. I don't know what is actually different but it seems like this does higher quality steam or something. The steam just loosens things out better and quicker than my old unit did. The best part of this, and the feature really worth paying for IMO, is the screen. It makes is so easy to steam when you have a good support behind your garment. I really doubt I'll ever use an iron again now. It makes it faster and I don't think I could have even gotten my clothes this good with my old steamer.

Es una buena plancha si es que no sabes usar una convencional. La verdad es sencilla de usar y las prendas quedan bien. Hay que rwcalcar que el vapor elimina olores, incluso el del suavizante, lo cual puede ser un pro o un contra, dependiendo de cada quién. Lo malo es que no viene con el soporte plegable para que la ropa quede estable y sea más sencillo planchar, no tener que estar sosteniendo la prenda. Ocupa un espcio considerable, no la considero muy fácil de guardar; pero si te sonra espacio, te agradará lo sencillo que hace el planchado.

The assembly instructions are not great but it was easy enough to figure out anyway. This unit seems a bit more flimsy than the previous model that I had but it does steam really well. I am happy with it, I just think for the price it could have been made a bit better.

I purchased the Rowenta Pro Style Care Garment Steamer (IS8440) in February 2024, expecting a premium product from a reputed brand. Initially, it worked well, but within 10 months, it completely stopped generating steam. Despite following all care instructions and using it sparingly, the steamer failed prematurely. For a product at this price point, I expected durability and reliability, but this was a letdown. To make matters worse, finding support or replacement options has been frustrating. I cannot recommend this steamer to anyone who values longevity in their purchases. Very disappointed with Rowenta.

El producto NO es para nada profesional ni duradero. Muy mala calidad … el plástico se derritió, el vapor no salía y tiraba el agua. Jamás volveré a comprar Rowenta
