Does this iron, or the more expensive Pro, cause a "shine" on your fabric if you are ironing over multiple layers, like seams?

I have never had it leave a shine on my fabrics. I do lots of pressing and ironing for I quilt. Also I have ironed linen table cloths and napkins, creases in jeans and washable slacks. My wife's blouses... It makes great creases without heavy starching.

I have not send any shine on my fabrics from this iron. I use it on the highest setting because most of my ironing is on cotton fabric for quilting. One or two passes over the fabric is all that is required so remove the most stubborn wrinkles!!

I love my iron. I am a quilter and seldom use steam and seldom press more than one piece of fabric at a time. I have never noticed a "shine" on anything I iron. I use it to iron my clothes. I doubt you would have a problem.

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.

Honestly I do not know, my hair is very thin. I have straight hair that over time has become brittle and looks a bit like straw due to so much blow drying and highlights. In my heart I believe this iron is comparable to the expensive ones out there. It leaves my hair looking like a profressional blow dry. Hope this helps! Good luck!

It's a dry iron, so the sole plate is smooth and will not leave indentation marks on fabric. If steam is needed to iron clothing, then use a spray bottle. It's a good iron for the price.

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.

It is not a problem for me, I've had other irons that operate the same way. It does go off by itself in a short while if not used. If uncomfortable with this you can unplug the iron. I love this iron, and I do a lot of ironing.

I recently bought this iron (about a month ago) and although it is a good iron, I wouldn't claim that it is fantastic. It depends on the material you are ironing. Some cottons that are lightweight iron beautifully. But other blouses still look wrinkled. Jeans iron up nicely, but again my husband's dockers don't. I sometimes get a white powder that sprays out onto the clothes. When emptying the water after I am finished ironing, I find that all the water doesn't empty. I called the customer service number and they told me that this happens due to the tube that is in the iron and it is okay. I don't feel comfortable leaving water in the iron between ironings. I may take it back to the store for a refund. I spent a great deal of money on this iron and I am not sure it is worth it.

I've never had that problem and I use the steam option all the time. You might try not pressing so hard on your fabric and making sure the fabric is smooth on your ironing board. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Yes, that's a new thing with Rowenta. In my previous reviews, my last Rowenta was bought 20+ years ago. Rowenta is the only iron I would ever buy.

I'm sorry, but I have not used the iron you are referring to. I know there are 2 or 3 price ranges on the Panasonic irons.

I use a light fabric finish and no buildup occurs. I clean the iron approximately weekly while using water from a Britta filter, which does still have minerals in it.

Ironing? I don't think so, I think it's just made to protect your surfaces from the heat of your hot tools. But I guess you could iron on it if it can withstand that much heat. I have never tried it, but it's a small surface in my opinion for ironing though. And I'm not sure if it's non-stick in case of if your clothes would stick to it' if you iron on it. It tends to collect dust' but it wipes clean with a damp cloth. It's amazing to use with your hot tools, and It's great quality for the price.

Do you have the correct heat on your iron? I use this product a lot and have never had a problem. The other thing is, have you prewashed the fabric? These are the only things I would know. Good luck!

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

You may have intended to send this question to another reviewer. As I stated in my review, this iron worked very good for me for about a year. Suddenly it just stopped heating. The light came on, but the soleplate would not heat. As a result, I just threw the iron away and purchased another brand...so I don't have the iron to look at to answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

This is an excellent iron and worth the extra investment. I don't use it daily, but to date is has been an excellent iron. I also believe that it irons better than the less expensive ones. I hated spending that much on an iron, but am glad I did, there is absolutely a difference between this one and less expensive one.

I have found it to be the same as using a regular iron. For cotton, use the high setting; if polyester you may try the middle setting first. I always use steam, it seems to add to the quality of the ironing job. I think you'll be happy with it.
