I have the rowenta advancer iron that suddenly quit working. Are they repairable or do you just toss an iron after 3 years of use?

same thing. I had the iron for about one year when it quit working. I just called Rowenta customer support and they told me model no dz9080 was manufactured in 2006 and is not repairable. And it is out of warranty. I paid close to $200 and it lasted for one year. It's junk. Don't buy it and throw it away if you have a broken one because it is not repairable.

Mine worked for 11 whole months. Plastic junk. I have several vintage irons from that auction site that still work after 50 or 60 years!

I got nothing but instruction documents and my iron broke in less than a year (steam controls on the iron stuck in the "on" position). I emailed the company and they agreed to exchange it, but then I got a call saying it was not available (it is still available on Amazon) and they wanted to substitute the Pro 300 model, which is not a comparable item. I requested a refund and am awaiting a response.

I had a Rowenta, actually I've been through 2 Rowentas, with that same problem. Also with both Rowentas not only did they leak, the on n off button didn't work either. This iron sooooo far very good. No leaks and irons better then a Rowenta

I think your steamer is working fine. It does not take much to do the job. I found that mine has more steam than my old one but the old one was not a Rowenta. You should be able to see a fine mist of steam

The warranty runs for three years!I am not so happy with the iron, the one I used to have in Germany, if the water tank was low, I good see from outside and fill up without have to turn off the machine or afraid that the steam would burn myself.

Base on my experience with my Rowenta DG8430, it lasted about 8 years before I had a leaking problem with it. It still works and irons very well; however, the water leaks out of it and I need to take it to the repair shop to have it repaired. The repair shop is about 40 miles from me; so to take it to the shop and then go back and pick it up, well that is my dilemma. The iron still works well.

Haven't tried ironing but maybe you can steam them out if you have a steam machine or try dampening it putting it in the dryer for a few minutes

I believe it comes with a 1-yr manufacturer's warranty. My steam adjustment lever and I had to send to one of Rowenta's authorized service centers, they were unable to fix so Rowenta replaced with a completely new iron. The process took about 3-4 weeks of not having an iron, but in the end they did make it right.

This iron died after only a couple of weeks use. I sent it back and am now using a Rowenta.

Haven't heard that particular noise, might as well though since I have to unplug the iron and plug it back in every few minutes because the automatic cut off keeps shutting down the iron. I have lost all faith in Rowenta and I use to be a BIG fan.

The station should have come with another replacement heating element. I would first try replacing your old heating element to see if that fixes the iron. Also make sure the tip is clean and tight in the iron. I would also change the tip out with one of the other you got with the station just to see if that makes a difference. I have had mine for two years, use it about once a week and it's still working well. Hope this was helpful to you.

Hi Lakisha. This iron was purchased brand new. It is well made by German company and seems to be working for great for us. I would think if it was refurbished they would have some kind of warrantry. Thank you and good luck.

I hate the quality of this iron, when it choses to work properly it is a wonderful iron, plenty of heat and steam, unfortunately that's not always the case. So it actually has not had enough use to need any cleaning other than a wipe off here and there. Good luck with it Connie, but trust me if you have any problems, Amazon never replied to my several complaints from the beginning and according to what I've read all over the web, Oliso is worse. Every time I see it being used on TV or Youtube, I wonder how they deal with the problems.

I have not had that problem with this iron, but I did with a previous Rowenta (different model). I iron 5 to 6 hours a week and have not really had any major complaint with any Rowenta I have had. Sounds like a problem with yours. Hope this helps.

I had a competitor Rowenta and the same thing happened. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement. I would contact DeLonghi and ask.

I had my little Rowenta ( the previous version) and something at the base of the handle broke and it wouldn't stay up anymore. I bought this one, and use it only for piecing and not that often. The last time I used it it started smoking. I would imagine that the stop inside the unit broke, just like my older one.I think Rowenta has lost sight of their quality control. The press you get from these little irons is amazing, but with them constantly breaking, or burning up, it makes you wonder.
