ROWENTA DZ9080 ADVANCER WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS MODEL AND THE ROWENTA DX 8800 PROFESSIONAL IRON OTHER THAN WATTAGE?

The dz9080 is about my5th Rowenta. I am a sewer and really like the steam and heat from Rowenta but they all only last about 1 year and then start leaking , furiously. Today, it was leaking again and so I did the self clean only to have it start spewing hot steam everywhere and leaking and squirting boiling water on my hand. In spite of the fact that I like the product when it works---I will look for another brand. no more rowenta's for me!!!!

Rowenta is certainly over priced for the quality you get. Our Advancer DZ9080 started to leak rusty water and had a burning smell. Returned it for repair under warranty and it took about three weeks to get it back after they received it. Now the same thing has happened again and this time the iron will not heat up at all. Now looking for a brand that will last longer. Never a Rowenta again.

any steam iron leaks if the selected setting is below the minimum steam setting.

Have the Rowenta Advancer... circuitry went out, they replaced it under warantee (took 2 months)... Now 3 months into the replacement iron, the circuitry went out. Sent it for repair to the place rowenta told me to send it. Got it back after a month. Still doesn't heat up properly, lights don't work right and today I find that the water has completely leaked out all over my ironing board. Anyone have a good suggestion for my next iron? I won't go with the rowenta again!!

WOW, so glad I am not alone...my long relationship with Rowenta Irons is OVER. Am on my third, you'd think I woudl learn. Sew professionally, ad love them when they work. Sent my second one back, was replaced under warranty, since it was less than 90 days when it made electrical burning sounds, and fried....every single one I have had leaks. The last time I bought a professional Rowenta without auto shut off, thought that may help...NOT! Never again, don't know what I will get this time, but know what I won't get- A Rowenta! Never again!

Heavier (4lbs v 3lbs 8oz)Platinum coating over the stainless steel50w higherholds .3 oz more waterMore advanced steam systemAnti Calc system (Their Focus model also has this, but the Professional does not)Electronic Temp Control (again Focus has it, but Pro does not)I would recommend the Focus model for the $$ savings and similar features to the Advancer. It's cheaper than the pro even.

too have the Rowenta Dz9080 -- given to me as a gift - the last Rowenta hit the ceramic tile and broke into 100 pieces - but back to the one I presently have, it truely was what I thought to be the best iron ever - then one evening while I was ironing I could smell something terrible - I thought it was the material in the slacks I was ironing but gradually the iron got cold - it actually burnt up inside. I haven't even attempted to return it because of all the bad posts I've read and I need another iron now -- not 3 months from now and I want to make sure it will work. For now I'm using an old Sunbeam -- probably about 15 years old - probably cost me about $15-20.00. too have the Rowenta Dz9080 -- given to me as a gift - the last Rowenta hit the ceramic tile and broke into 100 pieces - but back to the one I presently have, it truely was what I thought to be the best iron ever - then one evening while I was ironing I could smell something terrible - I thought it was the material in the slacks I was ironing but gradually the iron got cold - it actually burnt up inside.

I was ready to buy the Rowenta Advancer, but based on your review I am rethinking this model. Do you have any suggestions for a another brand or model iron? I own a DZ1700 which doesn't get hot enough to press linen. I just want a good heavy high-wattage iron with a pointy tip for pressing the tight spots.

Can you or anyone who has used this iron beyond its initial period tell me if it has begun to "spew", leak or sputter? I have had several Rowenta irons in the past and they invariably sputter and drip eventually and create lots of ironing headaches. How is this one doing after owning it for a longer time? Thanks.

There is a great advantage using this DW9280 model. The weight of the iron gives extra support with removing the wrinkles and the extra steam wholes are awesome. These are what you need when you are trying to press your garments correctly. Enjoy

It works just as well either way. Usually depending on what you are ironing. Its got good even heat and lightweight. I really like mine.

Yes, that's a new thing with Rowenta. In my previous reviews, my last Rowenta was bought 20+ years ago. Rowenta is the only iron I would ever buy.

Not sure, but I have switched to Black & Decker Digital Advantage. In my opinion as a frequent ironer, it is better value for the money, hands down!!! Beth

The best iron I have ever had! Does not leak like Rowenta products. The iron was recommended by a local quilt shop owner.

I have the S-9500.....think the difference is mine is a 1 inch wide iron. It goes as low as 300 degrees.

I only own the "Professional" model. I have nothing to compare it with. But it works fine.

Mine was made by Rowen - both models are out there so if you're looking for a particular version you'll have to be sure which you're getting.

Apparently this is the latest model per my research before buying. You can also do a research for 2014 I bought this in 2013. Advise. Don't pay a lot of attention to the negative reviews. Rowenta is the best home product out there. If there are more positive reviews than negative, go with the positive. There are people out there who will complain about flowers in the Spring as long as there is someone who will listen. There is nothing wrong the power steam button. Trust me.

Frankly I wouldn't buy a rowenta again. There are better travel irons out there for quilting. Sunbeam puts out a travel iron that is solid , it seems to be the hot item amongst quilters. My sister can't keep them on the shelf at her quilt store. There are less piece's to break because its a solid piece and does everything you need for quilting. Good luck

I am a quilter & had a iron I loved for 20 yrs. finally gave up the ship as they say. I got same make in a very exspensive iron and it didn't last 6 months. #^#%#^#! So I bought this iron and also the Black & Decker Digital Advantage 3081494 because me without an iron is a catastrophe. I have used both and LOVE them. I use the model you are inquiring about strictly as a dry iron and it gets plenty hot. Besides its cute and just like Mom used to have. Karan M.

Don't know the Rowenta but I've had this about a month and put it to good use in a small inn. I love it. I was able to sit down for a bit when ironing smaller items so that I did not get so tired when ironing the bigger items. Deep so I can iron more at one time. Quiet, stable & solid

All electrics sold on Amazon in the US, are made for 110, to avoid returns and mishaps from people not paying attention when the order is placed. You can, however, purchase the iron from Amazon UK as a 220v model:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rowenta-Pro-Precision-Eco-PRECISION/dp/B00JZOZL1A/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid;=1421088740&sr;=8-6&keywords;=rowenta+pro+precision

The primary difference between these two irons is the NI-E650TR has an Anti-Calcium system for its steam vents.

I have not seen one. Use caution when ordering I ordered the es-90c and they sent me an es- 90a which is a cheaper iron not what is shown in the picture.good luckScott
