Description of Rowenta DG8030 1800 Watt Expert Steam Station with stainless steel soleplate

Founded in Germany in 1884, Rowenta has a long history of innovation. In 1912, they manufactured their first iron, paving the way for a position today as the world's largest producer of irons. In 1949, Rowenta launched the first iron with temperature control, followed by the first steam iron in 1957- an innovation that would change garment care forever. Throughout their history, technology and innovation have always been at the forefront of product design. Rowenta's new DG8030 Expert Steam Generator is an ironing system for the home that provides commercial results. Available at the touch of a button and on demand, the powerful pressurized steam penetrates quicker and deeper into fabric, providing professional quality ironing without much effort. Vertical Steam feature is ideal for removing wrinkles on hanging garments or drapes and for smoothing and shaping sewing projects. Variable Steam Control adjusts the steam output to specific fabric types. The extra large, transparent, continuous fill water tank holds 33oz, for up to an hour and a half of ironing, and can be refilled at any time during use. The stainless steel soleplate provides a high performance glide, reducing your ironing time. Extra long, 6 foot hose delivers pressure steam for added versatility and reach. The DG8030 Expert Steam Generator is compact, fits on most ironing boards, has a stable base with a 12 foot power cord making it easy and convenient to store. Comes with 1 year limited warranty.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rowenta DG8030 1800 Watt Expert Steam Station with stainless steel soleplate

Customer Review: A great iron -- but be prepared for first-time use
Summary: 5 Stars


I just put up this comment at epinions, but I wanted the Amazon crowd to see it, too.

This is a wonderful product, but I had trouble using it at first.

So that's why I'm writing this review: To give a head's-up to new owners and people who are thinking about buying it.

When I first bought the 8030... it didn't work.

I mean: No steam at all.

What a huge disappointment.

Every time I turned it on, the thing went through its warm-up cycle, and then ended-up with a light that indicates "empty water tank". This is what drove me crazy because I was sitting there, looking at a water tank filled to the max line.

Did I have a defective product? It looked that way to me, and that was confirmed by a lady at Rowenta tech support. She told me to bring it back, and next time -- try using spring water, since my house water might be too hard.

So... my wife and I brought it back to Bed Bath & Beyond. We ordered a new one, got it in a few days, filled it up with spring water, and...

No steam.

More disappointment.

We were all set to bring the second one back, but this time, I thought I would be an obstinate, mindless robot and just try it over and over again... like 50 times, if necessary. I just couldn't believe that Rowenta would turn out two duds in a row.

Every time I would go through the same routine: The iron would engage the pump, the red empty light would turn on, and I'd press the re-start button.

Well, after maybe 15 times, guess what? IT WORKED!

And the steam? Oh, man! Clouds of it, forcefully ejected from the iron. And what a difference it makes in the ironing process. It's much faster, no starch is necessary, and everything comes out looking great.

So, bottom line, my recommendation to Rowenta is this: Put a great big neon orange sticker inside the product box. Tell the new user that it may take many, many times to start the iron for the first time. The printed documentation says that a first-time use might require the user to "press the steam trigger several times in a row". Well, that ain't the half of it.
