Why would you want to spend over $100 for an iron? Is it worth the price that you pay? For the Rowenta Advancer Iron, it costs well over $120 and what you get is a solid, professional iron. The value is actually in the reduced time spend ironing compared to the cheaper irons. Most often than not, we wish we can spend less time standing in front of the ironing board each week, and the Rowenta Advancer is the iron that can help you to fulfill this wish.
The Beauty Of Rowenta Advancer
Because this iron glides very well across all types of fabric and the steam generation is top-notch, you can literally go over an area once and the wrinkles are gone. This is how it helps to cut down on ironing time and free up the rest of your evenings to do something else like plonking yourself in front of the TV for a change.
The Rowenta Advancer Iron heats up very fast and you won’t be complaining of it having insufficient heat. It also has a non-stick and scratch resistant soleplate which would appeal to most.
Like the Rowenta Focus, it has a high precision tip to get to hard to reach areas. This is how even those areas around the seams and buttons can be smoothened out with ease.
Because of the heat and steam, I also find that this iron allows you to skip ironing the back at times. For most irons, you would need to iron both the front and back to get the desired effect. But for the Rowenta Advancer, you can iron one side of the fabric and the other side comes out just as smooth which saves you the hassle of having to turn the clothing over to give it another press.
The Downsides
This iron can be a bit heavy for those who have gotten use to lighter irons. Again, like the Rowenta Focus, it has a large water tank that makes the iron pretty heavy once it is filled up. If you don’t have a strong arm or you have a lot to iron at one sitting, the weight may pose to be a problem. However, the steam does make it easier for you to glide the iron and you do have plenty of it with this model.
The other major drawback is of course the price. Not many irons have this high price tag and it won’t be hard for you to get another iron with more or less the same features but at half the price.
