Review on 🔌 Rowenta DW2459 Access Steam Iron - Retractable Cord, Stainless Steel Soleplate - Black by Josh Fox

This is my third Rowenta. I don't like ironing, but less if I use a good Rowenta iron and a stable ironing board. I used to have a Rowenta that was spitting out rusty water and lots of white scale particles, so I decided to ditch that and get an Everlast anti-scale iron. regular tap water, no flavored or distilled water). When I first used Everlast Anti-Calc, I would drain it from the water when I was done, then hit the steam and spray buttons to make sure there was nothing left, and also poured it down the sink. I thought it was enough to keep it clean. I was so surprised when I plugged it in half a week later and it immediately started spewing white particles out of the sole. I have included photos of particles on my shirt and other items on my finger that were in the peeling chamber after just one use. Pooh! - I shouldn't have white flakes on the shirt I'm ironing the second time I use the machine - so I bought a new iron! Then I read the instructions again, this time in more detail. Here is some information that may be helpful to you: After use, after shutting off the water as designed and draining the remaining water, switch the steam setting between open and closed several times to prevent the valve from moving in opens the steam. Camera out of zoom or backup. You can also clean the scale collector and run the anti-scale functions to keep your iron clean. You can easily clean the scale collector on the underside of the iron an hour after use (simply turn the lever a quarter turn, pull the chamber down and rinse). If, like me, you live in a place with very hard water, you may need to constantly clean this chamber. You can also use the anti-limescale function to remove dirt and limescale from the steam chamber of the iron itself by filling it with tap water to the maximum, heating the iron to 3 points and turning on the steam function. Unplug the iron, hold the iron level over a sink and set the shaft lever to the anti-limescale position. Water with particles should come out of the iron within a few seconds. After about a minute, switch the iron back to steam mode, plug it back in and let it heat up until all the water has evaporated. Unplug the power cord, let it cool, then wipe the soleplate. After reading the instructions and figuring out how to do those extra steps, ironing just got better for me. In addition to regular cleaning, simply keeping water out of your iron between uses and your iron will perform better. As for the features of the iron that I like and don't like: Loading the iron can be an issue. I fill the iron with a small spray bottle with a neck about the size of a nickel. It works well and I don't spill water that way. Others have complained that the water level is too difficult to see, but I have no problem with that. In general, I like the size and shape of the soleplate. Heats up quickly and glides easily over clothing. It's as light as other Rowenta irons I've owned and has the same number of steam functions. What this iron could do better is a separate little piece of paper or a few instructions on the outside of the box telling you how to get rid of the particles rather than the information hidden in the hard-to-read instruction manual. (Why have features when no one reads about them to use them?)
