Rowenta DR5015 Review

Rowenta DR5015 Review

This Rowenta DR5015 Review considers why it is a great compact clothing steamer. Rowenta is a brand associated with beautifully designed, lightweight steamers.  This compact Rowenta steamer offers affordability in a compact size and is ideal for anyone who is shopping for a portable steamer in the $20-$35 price range.

The Rowenta DR5015 is described as Ultra Steam Brush hand held steamer. It should not be considered a heavy duty steamer but is designed for consumers who are seeking a light weight steamer for small jobs, consisting of one or two garments.  Not only is it useful for traveling professionals, but it’s sleek, ergonomic designs makes it perfect for anyone looking for a good quality hand held steamer at an affordable price.

Rowenta DR5015 Design

The DR5015 is designed for maximum steam efficiency with only 800 watts of power. It features in base storage, the power cord conveniently stores out of sight underneath and the steam head on the side of the unit. The illuminated off/on switch make it easy to tell when the base is powered on. This hand held power steamer provided us with 18 minutes of steam time with a transparent water tank, which holds 1.7 ounces of water.

The DR5015 includes several attachments such as:

• The removable upholstery brush which makes it possible to clean heavy or delicate fabrics
• Lint pad for quick and simple cleanup of pet fur, lint and hair.
• Door hook which is a must for portable steam cleaning; it slides effortlessly over any door for vertical wrinkle removal.
• A removable fabric brush
• Travel pouch for those on the move

It measures 11.5 inch x 6 inch x 4 inch, making the DR5015 a great travel companion in addition to being lightweight.  Additionally, it has an extra-long cord for ease of use almost anywhere.

Rowenta DR5015 Performance

For quick touch-ups or full power cleaning, the unit is ready to use in 30 seconds. The steam release is activated by a single push electronic pump. When you aren’t steaming with the DR5015, water isn’t bubbling on the inside which many other steamers do and usually results in leaks on the floor.  Another benefit of this is the hose is cool to the touch, alleviating any fears of touching a hot part.

We liked the steam dial that varies from fabric to fabric use as this is usually a feature for more expensive steamers. This is great for fragile fabrics such as polyester, silk, suits, rayons, non-natural and beaded fabrics too.  Also, if you require more steam, it comes with a pump that provides an additional burst to get rid of stubborn wrinkles.   The wide head provides a quick and efficient diffusion of hot steam, and gave the results of what one would expect for a compact steamer.

There are two minor drawbacks of the Rowenta DR5015 performance, one is that it is not durable enough for frequent use and secondly the tank size. The small size tank limits the number of garments that can be steamed at once, although, the tank is designed for multiple pieces. Typically it can steam 1-3 articles of clothing, before the tank needs refilling. The size makes it perfect for college students and travelers or anyone who needs to steam one or two pieces at a time. 

The Rowenta DR5015 review concludes that this unit performs well under most conditions and it does offer excellent wrinkle removal.  This lightweight product is best for quick and light duty needs touch ups. Don’t expect it to work like a regular steamer or have the results of an iron.  For a steamer that sells for around $30 the DR5015 offers a lot of value.
