PUR STEAM IRON PRO

Its patented Precision Tip helps navigate around the collar, cuffs, and buttonholes of a shirt.

The Rowenta – DW5280 Focus has a robust steam output that results in quicker and more efficient ironing.

Overall, as with the previous model, the Rowenta – 5280 Focus relieves the burden of ironing and helps you get it done faster. The solidly constructed iron has a good weight so we didn’t need to press heavily or re-do areas. We would have preferred a more overt ready alert because it’s not really clear whether the light is a temperature alert or an indication that the iron is on. The DW5280 heats up in a minute, and when it hits the desired temperature, an orange preheating light goes out.

The iron has a very fine spray mist that didn’t spit and spatter, but although the Rowenta doesn’t leak, droplets occasionally drip out of the spray hole. The DW5280 has an even steam dispersion but it didn’t seem to emit much steam, so we used the steam burst throughout. Most impressive is its steam burst, which was the most powerful of the other irons tested and most effective at steaming wrinkles before and during ironing. The iron stands very sturdily upright at a slight angle, so the handle fits ergonomically into the palm of your hand when you’re ready to lift it. This model has a laser-etched stainless-steel soleplate with Rowenta’s patented Precision Tip for getting into corners and buttonholes. High marks in ease of use and construction quality define this Rowenta steam iron as one of the best on the market. Save time with a powerful steam output that gets out the toughest wrinkles. (This wasn’t always the case with the other irons we tested.) It was also easy to see the maximum fill line since the water tank is see-through. The iron was designed to be filled lying horizontally, and the extra-wide water-filling inlet makes it a breeze, whether filling with a cup or simply straight out of the faucet. Of the four new irons we tested for this 2022 update, the DW5280 was by far the easiest to fill. Our former top pick, the Rowenta – DW5080, has been upgraded to the Rowenta – DW5280 Focus, and although it wasn’t as strong a contender this time around as the previous model, it’s still an excellent iron for heavy-duty ironing.

For this 2022 update, we tested four new models, and all had pros and cons, but the Rowenta – DW5280 Focus is our new top pick for its precision tip and powerful steam burst for ironing out stubborn wrinkles. We also reached out to professionals in fashion design and sewing to get their take. We spent over 50 hours researching and testing steam clothing irons to determine the best of the best.
