Rowenta DZ5080 Iron

I bought the Rowenta DZ5080 from Amazon.com a little while back. It has been a very good investment. I was at first skeptical whether to pay $100 for an iron. But I thought that this would be an investment.
After reading the reviews it also seemed like buying this iron was like getting two machines in one. You're getting an iron and a steamer machine. I've tried plenty of irons that are on the market, and this is by far the best. Other irons don't take the wrinkles out of my polo shirts and pants. Even with starch I couldn't get wrinkles out of my dress shirts. No more problems with the Rowenta.
I'm in management in my company, so it's important that I look presentable. With this iron the heat seems more evenly distributed. My previous iron was a similarly priced Black and Decker and on that one it only seemed like the exact center was hot.
I also like the steam feature on this iron as well as the auto steam. It gets hot fast, and I can put steam to good use to press my shirts. I can get all my shirts done with just one pass over it, instead of going over the same spot many times.
Talk about saving time in the morning, the Rowenta is perfect. This might be due to the microholes which are present in the iron, i dont know? Although some might complain that it is too heavy, I like the weight too it. It makes going over clothes easier, it just seems to glide. My only complaint on this product has to be the amount of water it goes through.
I find my self refilling with water every 20-25 minutes. But I guess since it produces so much steam that is why.
