RowentaHand Steamer for Clothes, X-Cel Handheld Steamer, 25-Second Heat-Up, Powerful Steam, Long Cord, 1875W Clothes Steamer, Travel Must Have, DR8220

Purchased this after our previous steamer of many years no longer worked. As happens, these types of products seem to fail the day you need them for some event, or party after it has been sitting on a shelf for some time. Purchased this based on the fact that my experience has been the higher the wattage, the better these types of steamers seem to function. Although this unit was almost double in price than the one purchased years ago it replaces, functionally it is light years ahead in the performance area. Pull out of box, attach one of the diffuser type heads, fill with water. Turn on and selected Turbo mode. Blue power light blinks until ready then solid, and good to go. Once the steamer gets primed, big steam, consistant pattern, and you are off. Steamed a party dress in 5 minutes and looked amazing. Went through one tank of water. Cord is super long which is appreciated, and has a velcro strap to coil it up with to put away. Key is make sure to drain the tank on these when you store them- have a feeling that was what killed my last one as I did not run the water out before I put it away for a year. I think this is worth the price premium, looks great, feels solid in hand, and TONS of steam. Also like the multiple head attachments that I did not use, but may find a use for in the future. Will see how long it holds up, but again I use this type of product perhaps 3 times a year. Would definately purchase again.

Steam output is consistent and great. Removed wrinkles really. It's quiet, easy to use, and solid, not cheap. Wish the water container held more water, though.

Rowenta never disappoints with high level of performance and build quality. Best steamer in the market in my opinion, my family's favorite. Unfortunately, the specification listed the unit as 230v but the unit is actually 110-120v. Fortunately I have a step down transformer that has the capacity to support the unit. Other than that, all is well.

I have owned several steamers from hand held travel size up to a full size garment steamer that rolls on wheels. The Rowenta X-cel Steamer is hands down the best one I've tried. Just unbound it and within 5 minutes I had the steamer going and completed steaming a sweater and pants that were very wrinkled from storage. This steamer h a d no problems getting rid of the wrinkles and I had plenty of steam to complete the job. Steamer was easy to fill, easy to use, and lightweight even with a full tank of water. This steamer even beat out costlier steamer I've tried. Well worth the ptice.

I got this Rowenta steamer after the other one I had of a different brand broke before I had it for a year. I really like how fast this steamer heats up and how quickly it steams out the wrinkles on my clothes!! The steam trigger is a really nice feature especially when you have to adjust the position of your clothes. The only negative thing about this steamer is that the water tank is a bit small but it's easy to refill. My Brother recommended this model to me. I couldn't be happier with this Rowenta steamer! I would definitely give this 5 stars and recommend it to anyone!

The media could not be loaded. I do not recommend anyone to buy this product.save your money, it doesn't work properly and breaks down quickly. Even though I bought it for a short time, I only used it twice. This is the result.There is no need to violate consumer rights by selling such poor quality products.

This is a great little steamer I bring with on vacation to steam and press my clothes when traveling. I also used it when hanging new drapes to steam out the wrinkles and creases, it works great. Not a full size, but just right for traveling and smaller projects. Reasonable priced as well.

I needed a way to steam my clothes for work.Shirts and dress pants.I had a steam iron of vaguely similar design about 30 years ago in college and it worked like a champ.This is a relatively large iron, and if I'm doing several shirts and a pair of pants or two, I'll need to refill the reservoir a couple of times.It heats quickly, gets most of the wrinkles out, and is easy to use.My main gripe is that the trigger lock, which holds the steam activation trigger down for continuous steaming, is entirely too easy to knock out of place, so you have to keep resetting it.It's also pretty large. The head of this thing is like a super-big driver like you'd use on a golf course. then, beneath that, there's a handle, and finally, the base. I couldn't imagine lugging this thing with me on a trip. I'll just use the iron in the hotels.Works great otherwise, though.Oh, and the cord is quite long. Great for use, not so great for storage.
