Question 1

Trying to decide which is the best value/performance/reliability between the 5080, 6080, 8080, and 9280...any experience comparing any of these?

Accepted Answer

I had the 5080. It worked well for a long time, but finally stopped producing steam. I next bought the 8080, used it for almost 6 years, and it still works. I treated myself to a new iron with the 9280. It is an excellent iron,  the steam output is electronically controlled by the fabric selection you choose, thereby taking the guesswork out of manually controlling the amount of steam you use. The LED indicator for type of fabric is a nice feature, so you don’t have to check on the setting on the dial/switch.  If you can afford it, and want to make ironing an easier task get the 9280. It is a real nice piece of equipment.

Question 2

How large is the water tank?

Accepted Answer

It's about 3 cup or 26 ounces, the steam iron it's amazing best investment ever. I can iron two or three shirts with full tank. It's a steam iron and due to the 400 holes it uses a lot if water.

Question 3

Is there a noticeable advantage using this iron over the Rowenta DW6080?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there USA difference. You do get what you pay for. Irons are no exception to this rule. I have had a Rowenta 5080 and 8080, and now have the 9280. It is the best iron I have had. If you really want the best ironing experience, combine a Rowenta 9280 and a HOMZ Durabilt ironing board. Makes you look forward to ironing. World of difference-top notch iron and board combined.

Question 4

At $50 less the DW5080 has better reviews, has anyone used both. I run cotton full steam ahead... is this one really worth $50 more?

Accepted Answer

Yes - I am super critical of steam irons and especially those that are "leakers" - the only issue I have is you have to replenish the water when on a higher setting - specifically cotton and linen - Rowenta is the only iron product I have used for the past 20+ years and is an excellent product.  More expensive but worth it - another hint/suggestion - after each use I self clean the iron pores from accumulated calcium build up.  Found that over the years my Rowentas have lated longer due to careful cleaning.
