Review on Efficient and Powerful White Rowenta IS8440 Full Size Garment and Fabric Steamer with Screen by Reginald Truitt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well but poorly assembled.

The item I'm ordering was brand new but I found a few smudges here and there that I couldn't wipe off. strikingly large. The build material seems surprisingly poor, so despite the rather high price, the item doesn't look very good overall. Aside from cosmetic issues, the machine runs perfectly. It heats up fairly quickly and the vapor is consistent. Although I found it can be quite difficult to operate with my foot as the buttons are quite small and especially the power button needs to be pressed for a few seconds to turn the device on and off. and also the clothes guard is not fastened and rolls up and down. You need to attach it when you need it and take it off when you need to fold the car to put it in order. It feels like Rowenta removed a lot of desirable features from previous models like "Roll-up Screen", "In-Body Accessory Box", etc. in order to compromise on some other features I don't like fully understand. I can only guess that it's A. Better performance and B. 15 seconds less latency, which isn't necessarily noticeable. To be honest. I think I should have just picked either the IS6300 or the IS9100. But what's done is done. Spring.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • No
