Made in Germany, the Rowenta Pro Master DW8080 iron is a real professional tool in your hand. With 1700 watts of power, it provides superior steam performance and results thanks to a powerful shot of steam that is pushed with high pressure into the fabrics creasing out wrinkles even on the thickest garments. The new Microsteam stainless soleplate with precision tip and 400 steam holes provides excellent glide, scratch resistance and optimal steam diffusion. The DW8080 comes with a 3-way smart shut-off switching the iron off in: 8 minutes if left horizontally, 30 second if left horizontally, 30 second if it tipped over. It also features variable steam allowing steam output to be adjusted; powerful vertical steam allowing the iron to be used in an upright position to remove wrinkles from hanging garments; cool spray mist providing a light mist to remove stubborn wrinkles. An extra large 12.7 oz water tank is easy to fill with tap water, and the Anti-drip system helps prevent spitting and leaking when the thermostat is on a low setting. The Anti-Calc system will help extend the life of the iron while the Self Clean system flushes out loose mineral deposits ensuring optimal performance for the iron. The Rowenta DW8080 Pro Master also carries a comfortable handle that is ergonomically designed and comes with a 7 ft. electrical cord along with a 360 degree pivot.
