Monster machine

In the picture I have initially not recognized how great this is Iron. But well when you unpack.
The Rowenta DW5122 steam iron Focus is a monster machine under the iron that I have met in the last 25 years.

With the tip of course you all corners, but the iron is enormously broad back. Placed vertically, the iron makes an unstable impression and looks as if it could easily fall over.
Also the weight exceeds all other irons, even without water, it is difficult to 2 kilos.
Since the tank is kept in a dark purple, one recognizes the water filling only very poorly. The tank has a capacity of 300ml.
On the positive side of the lid that closes the tank, and prevents ironing spills over water. This is a new and very pleasant experience for me.

The Iron heitzt up quickly and is soon ready for use. The cable length is average.
It is dry ironing possible in Eco mode, the device optimizes the steam setting by itself, the other can be a permanent steam setting can be selected.
With two switches at the front on the handle can also be used two spray settings. The spray nozzle from the factory mE has not been adjusted. Although the beam reaches far, but you have to aim carefully so you then also meets the desired garment.

On the self-cleaning function and the performance of the anti-scale cassette I'm curious, so far our extremely hard water has become even more against each device.

After about 30 seconds the iron by itself turns off, which is very convenient also, if you will be distracted and not directly to it thinking, turn off the iron.

The soleplate glides easily over all materials, however, I'm not with the result after the dry ironing, without steam satisfied. But this may also be because I'm afraid I could choose adjustable temperature too high and burn clothing. I need a little testing.

I'm spoiled by a great generator iron, which must be, however, always only unearthed and built and was looking forward to an iron that is quickly ready for use.
But for more than between times fast ironing a part, I will not use the Rowenta DW5122 steam iron Focus.
I will not here miemen the delicate princess, which can withstand anything, but it is to me for a continuous operation simply too heavy and unwieldy. I use it for a longer period, sometimes hurts the arm and I'm tired.
Maybe we get used to yet another, until then I can the iron but not more than 2.5 - give 3 stars.
