Is there a noticeable advantage using this iron over the Rowenta DW6080?

I bought this one because I do a lot of ironing and like a lot of steam. I love it. I haven't used the DW6080 but one of the reasons I did not buy it were the reviews regarding it not being great for low temps and steam. I this helps!!

Yes. More Steam release to the fabric to eithe add a crease or remove a wrinkle . Much improvement over the DW6080. You won't be disappointed.

I don't know about the DW6080 and how it compares to the DW9280. If you are looking for strong steam - I recommend the DW9280. I love mine. The only drawback is it is a bit bulky. However, the amount of steam it produces cuts down on my ironing time.

This was a gift for my girlfriend. I could not personally compare these models for you.

There is a great advantage using this DW9280 model. The weight of the iron gives extra support with removing the wrinkles and the extra steam wholes are awesome. These are what you need when you are trying to press your garments correctly. Enjoy

I think so. More steam holes and the steam generator really force the steam. Best iron I have ever used, I require far less spray starch, even on 100 percent cotton.

I can't compare the two as I haven't used the DW6080. But you won't be disappointed with the DW9280. LOTS is steam!! Ironing time is quick!

I am a sewer and the Delonghi is much better for sewing . I really like this iron much better I ordered the Rowenta and sent it back, the DeLonhi was much better. I sew with linen and it is a breeze with this iron, and I feel that linen is the best test of an iron

In addition to my previous question about this iron spewing, sputtering and leaking, I should have added dripping. Does it drip?? My previously owned Rowentas did all of the above and although I loved the weight and other features, the leaking and dripping and spewing onto my fresh ironing made me grow to dislike them. I am considering trying this new one, but need to know about the problems I've mentioned.

The Clover mini=iron is fine for pressing seams while piecing, however it does not do as well on a larger area. Therefore I prefer the Rowenta travel iron, use it always when I am sewing for quilting.

Can you or anyone who has used this iron beyond its initial period tell me if it has begun to "spew", leak or sputter? I have had several Rowenta irons in the past and they invariably sputter and drip eventually and create lots of ironing headaches. How is this one doing after owning it for a longer time? Thanks.

If you are talking about the slight "gap" between the soleplate and the body of the iron I think that is a design feature. Mine has that and there is no adverse effect when ironing. I like the heft of the iron and the ceramic finish on the soleplate really makes the iron glide. I have experienced no leakage of water from the iron unlike the cheap ones I had in the past, but I do not full the water tank to the brim. It makes ironing dress shirts a breeze.

I've been happy with how hot this iron gets. I also like its weight - which should help with heavier fabrics - you won't have to apply as much pressure.

I had the same concern, as I expected the iron to steam and outperform the Rowenta Iron that it was to replace. I was informed by the person who in fact recommended it to me that it only produces steam when the trigger is press. I am disappointed with the product overall since I expected a steam iron.

I love this iron. It is because it is a very easy glide and that you do no lifting that I like it. Automatic touch lowers and raises it. In my opinion it would be a good idea for you. It would be more the correct height for your ironing that would be more the problem.

I've owned one Rowenta iron, and it was the worst iron I have owned. This iron has been in our house for probably 4 years, and I consider it the best iron that I've used.

Yes, that is so. Personally, I have no issues with that, since the steam is really what does the work for you. Household irons such as this don't have an enormous steam output anyway. In my experience, the only time there was a need to regulate the steam output was with a commercial steam iron.

I got this as a portable iron to take to quilt classes and retreats for use next to my sewing machine. It is light weight, and glides just fine. The steam ability is minimal to moderate, I would say, nothing like my full-sized Rowenta. The cord doesn't particularly get in the way, no more than any other. My big disappointment is that it doesn't get as hot as I would hope. But for small pressing tasks next to your sewing machine, such as pressing the seams of block pieces, I would say that it is a good value for the price, and up to the job. But for big pressing jobs, such as trying to press an entire piece of bolt-wide fabric, this would not be the best iron.

no experience with the DW2070, but truly loved this 4060 Rowenta for its output.

I understand your problem. This iron is superior at all the temps, with or without steam and with double steam. It had been 20 years since I purchased an iron. I consulted Consumer Reports; it rated this iron as the best available. The only place I could find one was Amazon; none were available in any stores within a 50 mile radius. I would recommend it to you for ironing at any temperature. As a seamstress, I find it perfect for fusables as well as sheers, velvets, cottons, denim, and paper patterns.

I'm a quilter and have used Rowenta for well over twenty years . . .but they're disposable. I got about 18 months out of the models I've bought in last ten years. I switched to Reliable after hearing about a number of fires from people on a quilting forum. You can google "Rowenta fire" and read for yourself. I loud recommend doing so before investing in an iron. I couldn't be happier with the Reliable. The steam is far more powerful.

Frankly I wouldn't buy a rowenta again. There are better travel irons out there for quilting. Sunbeam puts out a travel iron that is solid , it seems to be the hot item amongst quilters. My sister can't keep them on the shelf at her quilt store. There are less piece's to break because its a solid piece and does everything you need for quilting. Good luck
