Rowenta Pro Style Care Upright Garment Steamer
A 1700W upright garment steamer with a built-in press board that heats in 45 seconds and puts out 35 g/min of steam.
Best for
Regular garment care where a press board and 4 steam levels matter more than portability, across delicate and heavy fabrics alike.
Skip if
You need a compact or travel steamer, or you want the sharp permanent creases only a traditional iron produces.
What is Rowenta Pro Style Care Upright Garment Steamer?
The Rowenta Pro Style Care (model IS8440U1) is a floor-standing garment steamer built around a 1700W heating element that reaches working temperature in about 45 seconds and delivers up to 35 grams of steam per minute. A 1.3 litre (44 oz) removable tank feeds the head, and four adjustable steam levels let you drop the output for delicate fabrics or push it up for heavy cotton and linen. What separates it from a plain hanging steamer is Rowenta's patented Steam and Press system: a padded vertical board sits behind the garment so you can press the steam head against fabric rather than just wafting steam at it, which gets closer to an iron's result on collars and plackets. The pole adjusts from 40 to 64 inches, the base rolls on wheels, and the unit collapses for storage. An auto-off function and an anti-calc draining system handle safety and scale maintenance, and Rowenta states the steam sanitizes up to 99.9% of bacteria.

Key Features of Rowenta Pro Style Care Upright Garment Steamer
Use Cases for Rowenta Pro Style Care Upright Garment Steamer
Daily work clothes
The 45-second heat-up and 35 g/min output make it quick enough to de-wrinkle a shirt or blouse on the way out the door.
Suits and tailored garments
The Steam and Press board supports the fabric so you can work on lapels, collars and plackets without the risk of pressing a shine into wool.
Delicate fabrics an iron would damage
The lowest of the four steam settings paired with the delicate textile brush lets you relax wrinkles in silk and other fabrics that do not tolerate direct iron contact.
Household textiles
The 64-inch pole height and 1.3 litre tank suit long items such as curtains and drapes that are steamed in place rather than taken down.
Pros & Cons of Rowenta Pro Style Care Upright Garment Steamer
Pros
- The 45-second heat-up is fast enough to use on a single shirt without planning ahead.
- The press board produces noticeably crisper results on collars and plackets than a steamer that only works on hanging fabric.
- Four steam levels plus a dedicated delicate brush make it usable on silk and wool, not just cotton.
- Height adjusts from 40 to 64 inches and the base rolls, so it suits both short and long garments.
Cons
- At 64.4 inches tall and 10.6 lbs assembled, it needs real storage space and is not a travel or closet-shelf steamer.
- Even with the press board, a steamer will not produce the sharp permanent crease a traditional iron gives on trousers.
- The anti-calc draining system needs periodic attention, and in hard-water areas regular descaling is required to keep steam output up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a regular hanging garment steamer?
It adds Rowenta's patented Steam and Press system, a padded vertical board that sits behind the garment. That backing lets you press the steam head into the fabric rather than only steaming cloth that hangs free, which gets closer to an iron's finish.
Can it replace an iron entirely?
For most shirts, dresses and suits it can. It will not create the sharp permanent crease an iron produces on trouser legs or dress uniforms, so a traditional iron is still better if you need that.
How long does it run before needing a refill?
The removable tank holds 1.3 litres (44 oz). At the maximum 35 g/min setting that is enough for a sustained session, and the tank lifts out for refilling without moving the base.
What attachments are included?
It ships with a thick textile brush for heavy fabrics, a delicate textile brush for fine materials, and a crease attachment. The vertical press board and support frame are part of the unit itself.
