Client Reviews

I recently returned the Rowenta Pro Compact steamer in exchange for this "commercial" steamer.
It definitely is a massive improvement. The extra 150 watts of steaming energy tends to make a noticeable difference.
There are quite a few characteristics that make this a superb unit. The significant 1 gallon water tank is clear and painless to eliminate and refill. The on/off switch and the automatic cord reel are each foot actuated. There are two onboard accessories bins that maintain the attachments from disappearing. The steam is potent, plentiful and actually rolling out in 60 seconds. Also, the unit is really sturdy.
Unfortunately, there are a few design flaws and disappointing difficulties. The two large wheels do not roll on my hardwood floors nor on my carpet. As an alternative as you drag the machine it leaves a good trail of marks on the floor. The telescoping handles are not secured into the base of the machine and pull out when you try to lift the machine. Also, this unit did not come with a handy plastic brush attachment that the more affordable unit did.
Acquiring said all this, the Rowenta Precision Valet Steamer does a great job of removing stubborn wrinkle swiftly and readily.

I have to wear business enterprise attire to function daily. I purchased this steamer with the hope that I could cut down on my dry-cleaning bill and keep away from the chemicals put to use by dry cleaners by undertaking my own ironing. I was particularly hoping that I could use this to manage washing and ironing my dress shirts, which grow to be wrinkly following a single use and dirty right after a couple wears. I have a regular table iron that I have utilised for over a decade to iron my clothes, but it just takes as well lengthy to adequately iron a dress shirt. I was hoping this steamer was the answer to my dilemma however, it is not.
The steamer simply can not manage dress shirts adequately, other than taking out relatively easy creases on the flat areas of the front and back. If you have a freshly washed cotton dress shirt that is good and wrinkly out of the dryer, look elsewhere for aid. And forget about ironing the sleeves anything other than a minor touch-up and you are going to be disappointed. If you've observed the video of the unit on Bed, Bath and Beyond's site, do not be fooled (like I was). The unit does not perform pretty as proficiently on dress shirts as the video indicates.
The primary problem -- as far as I can tell -- is that the unit suffers from a style flaw there is no backboard against which one particular can press the shirt, so one particular has to akwardly pull down on the shirt, generating it impossible to avoid unintended creasing. Possibly if there was a clip on the bottom that a single could use to hold the shirt stretched out (like the comparable Haan unit), it would be much easier to maneuver around some of the tougher components of the dress shirt, like the sides and sleeves. But given that the unit has no such function, you have to use your off hand to pull the bottom of the shirt so that it is straight enough to be ironed. Not only is this ineffective, but it's harmful, as you are consistently at risk of steaming your hand (which I nearly did twice on my initial attempt).
To Rowenta's credit, the steam hose seemed to work well and the pressure of the steam was constant. I attempted the unit on some of my dress slacks and suit coats, and it seemed okay for purposes of minor touch-ups as to those items of clothes. But I am not convinced that this restricted usefulness is worth the value tag. Also, I've read some critiques in which customers complained about the wheels the wheels are a tiny sticky, but I did not have significant difficulties with transporting the unit about my apartment (on carpet, rug, or difficult-wood floor). General, the unit is somewhat sturdy, so I wasn't definitely worried about tipping the unit over. A minor complaint is that the deal with where the hose is supposed to rest is also exactly where hangers are supposed to be placed, so you have to hold on to the hose when taking products on and off.
Bottom line for me: If the unit worked effectively sufficient to serve as an sufficient substitute for dry-cleaning my dress shirts, I would certainly hold it. But considering it doesn't, I will be returning it. If you don't will need it for dress shirts (other than minor touch-ups), this could possibly not be a negative solution for you.
