Rowenta Handheld Steamer for Clothes, Pure Force 2in1 Steamer & Iron, 1875W, Vertical/Horizonal Steaming & Ironing, Lightweight, Auto-off, XL power, 1875 Watts, DR8822

This is a Fabulous steamer. It works with tap water! I may never iron again! I have steamed my clothes and they look wonderful! No wrinkles

This baby is easily the “Cadillac” of garment steamers, and I haven’t even used it on an actual garment yet! I purchased it because I’m swapping out all the Stone Age window treatments in my house for newer, better looking drapery, and nothing arrives more wrinkled in the mail than curtains/drapes that have made the trip on a slow boat from China. Typical Rowenta quality, well made and fairly heavy (2.95 lbs), despite being described as “lightweight” by the manufacturer. At 1,875 watts, it heats up within seconds, and has several heat settings: low, medium, high, super high, and boost, with super high being most effective on those wrinkled drapes from China. It works horizontally as well, so would make an excellent “2 for the price of 1” appliance; you really wouldn’t necessarily need a regular clothes iron if you don’t do that much ironing, but if you do, I’d recommend the next model up, which includes a microfiber attachment intended to capture lint and hair while you’re ironing your garments. Easy to use straight out of the box, no setup or assembly needed. Just add water to the reservoir and plug it in. Decent value as well, generally about what other manufacturers are charging for a garment steamer of similar quality and capability. Considerations: it does take up a little real estate at 11.8” L x 8.66” W x 6.69” H; and the water reservoir is a measly 7.1 oz., which gets used up pretty quickly when you’re steaming 7’ H x 52” W drapery. A big plus is the 8.5’ cord, which is especially handy in a Stone Age house with electrical outlets few and far between. Highly recommended!

Nice steamer and iron two in one. Heats up fast and blasts wrinkles off clothes quickly.

I’ve had it for a few months and this is a very good steamer. I’m able to remove wrinkles quickly and easily. It’s light enough, doesn’t taken a lot of space to store, and given the settings work as intended, I’m able to get the job done with few passes. The boost mode produces a lot of steam which is great for some stubborn fabrics.I’ve also used it as an iron and because the ironing plate is small, I’ve noticed it works best with light fabric items. Thicker fabrics require extra time. I am considering getting a separate iron just because it would give me more ironing surface and heat control in general.I frequently end up not using the attachment. I didn’t add much value in my experience, so I don’t think it was worth paying extra for it. I’ve used it for vertical steaming and not so much for ironing as it rubs against the fabric and moves it out of place.Overall, I’m pleased with my purchase and I recommend.

This steamer exceeded all expectations. Very easy to use. Gets the wrinkles out with minimal effort. After a couple of passes, you're good to go!

The build quality is typical Rowenta, which is good despite being built in the PRC (designed in Germany, but built in China). Our Rowenta iron has served us for well over a decade now, so I’m partial to this company. The size is what I expected based on the photos I’ve seen in some reviews. Some users may find it a bit on the large size, but seems appropriate to me given its purpose. Weight is appropriate for its size, but if using it for an extended period, it can seem heavy. It heats up quickly and steam output is solid. I haven’t gone above medium setting and it has produced excellent results on various fabrics. I read some complained about the reservoir being difficult to remove/reinstall and the hole being too small… I honestly don’t see the issue here, but everyone is different I guess. I’ve had zero leaks, but I don’t tend to use it on a flat surface, but rather with items that are hanging.A staple because I’m not always in a position to pull out the Iron setup and it’s just more convenient to use the steamer. Very happy with my purchase!

Steams well, very heavy so I can only do 1 item at a time which makes this item a bummer for me. I was going to send it back but forgot the time as I procastinated because it really does steam very well and you can iron flat with it. It is a shame it is soooo heavy. I must say I am older so some of you may not have such a problem with the weight. OIher than the weight of it, it is a good unit and I would love to see a smaller version of this for myself.

[TLDR;] Does the job! As others have mentioned, it's a little clunky. Overall, recommend.Tested it out on some thick old curtains that have been wrinkly since the day I put them up (2 years ago - don't judge). I used "super high" mode after the other modes didn't seem to be strong enough, or at least not for my patience level. The water lasted about 9 minutes on that mode and it was enough time to de-wrinkle the curtain (see the before and after pics - ignore the discoloration at the bottom, this is from the curtain being propped up on my air conditioner all summer and getting sun-bleached).You can hit the trigger twice to hold it in the "on" position rather than squeezing the whole time. That's a nice feature, but it's also pretty easy to accidentally hit it a third time while using it, which deactivates the feature. So, I had to restart the machine several times. Not a big deal, it just involves hitting the trigger twice again. But to make it less wonky, they should have put some kind of barrier between the handle and the trigger to prevent this. Or a more ergonomic / grippy handle.The water is easy to fill, once the tank is removed. Removing the tank is a little clunky. They should have a pull tab or something, would help out a lot. That said, the machine is designed to use regular tap water - not distilled. Good, because seriously who has the energy to deal with that nonsense. You just clean the mineral build-up in the machine out by running it a with half water and half white vinegar, then again with only water. Easy peazy.
