That of ironing it is a practice that even the most close-knit cleaning lovers have always looked upon with slight contempt. The amount of time, effort and heat that builds up in the room, they manage to demoralize even the bravest. However, there is a new actor in the irons scenario who aims to become the protagonist of the scene for several reasons. This is the new Rowenta cube, the first flat iron that helps sanitize garments with the natural power of steam. Let's find out more about this particular technology in our Rowenta Cube review.
Our review of the Rowenta Cube
The Rowenta Cube is a real "hybrid" household appliance, halfway between a classic iron and a device capable of sanitizing fabrics thanks to the CUBE technology.

This Rowenta uses the natural power of steam in a powerful high-pressure jet that eliminates up to 99,99% of viruses, germs and bacteria eliminating any kind of odor.
Design
The Rowenta Cube consists of two main elements, a 'large boiler with motor to generate steam and the real iron connected to it. The boiler is made with excellent materials and a appealing design which combines the elegant black of the central body with a bright blue of the upper part.
Here we find the control panel which includes the power button and steam jet adjustment, from ECO, to moderate up to intense. Also in this panel we find two lights that signal the absence of water in the tank or the excessive presence of limestone for effective maintenance. Also in the upper part is the 1 liter water tank and a practical handle to carry the Rowenta Cube anywhere. The device in fact thinks less than 3KG (without water) and thanks to the 4.8m cable, it can be used throughout the house.
The iron itself is in fact designed to be used both on a classic ironing board and vertically, on sofas, mattresses and wherever there is the need to iron and / or sanitize. The iron is attached to the tank via a cable where the steam will pass to one pressure up to 5.8 Bar. Having left the weight of the tank to the central body, the iron is characterized by an impressive lightness: just 530 gr, twice as light as traditional irons. In addition to a practical stand to place the iron on the tank, the package also includes a brush to attach to the iron itself.

The test of the Rowenta Cube
PFor this review we tried the Rowenta Cube for about three weeks where we really ironed everything. At first glance we understood that we were faced with a high quality product made with the best materials. The color and design make it a beautiful object, an element that is difficult to reach from traditional models. After a brief reading of the instruction booklet, we began to harness the power of the steam. In our experience as expert ironers, we used the Rowenta Cube on a classic ironing board which has given us impeccable results. A uniform, effective but above all rapid ironing. The time it takes to iron shirts, T-shirts, sheets and so on is really halved, which made us extremely happy.
Added to this is also the lightness of the iron, light years ahead of the classic irons that helped make ironing quick and painless. The tank takes less than a minute to warm up and allow us to generate steam at the power we want. The three powers of the steam jet in fact, they allow us to use the right power according to the most demanding folds or according to the vertical or horizontal use of the iron. It is also possible to press the jet button, located on the handle of the iron, three times in a row to have a constant jet.
A sore note that comes with the Rowenta Cube is the great heat generated in the room. The large jets of steam, in fact, tend to disperse over a greater radius than traditional irons. This is a physiological consequence brought about by the very nature of the device, so we advise you to use the Rowenta Cube in a well-ventilated room or perhaps with a fan next to it (especially in summer).
Rowenta Cube review: the final opinion
The Rowenta Cube has won us over from every point of view. Design, speed and performance are the characteristics that make this iron truly unique, which uses the power of steam both to iron and to sanitize the garments. The results obtained are very close to those of one professional ironing but with the convenience of a handy device and the simplicity of using it at home.
Making ironing a pleasant domestic practice is not a simple thing but the Rowenta Cube has managed, at least, to make it faster, more effective and lighter.
Price and availability
Rowenta Cube is now available at a price of €259,99.
