W<\/span>e spent over 50 hours researching and testing steam clothing irons to determine the best of the best. We also reached out to professionals in fashion design and sewing to get their take. For this 2022 update, we tested four new models, and all had pros and cons, but the Rowenta – DW5280 Focus<\/a> is our new top pick for its precision tip and powerful steam burst for ironing out stubborn wrinkles. For our budget pick, we’ve selected the Mueller – MU77X<\/a> with its speedy heat-up time and excellent steam dispersion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our former top pick, the Rowenta – DW5080<\/a>, has been upgraded to the Rowenta – DW5280 Focus<\/a>, and although it wasn’t as strong a contender this time around as the previous model, it’s still an excellent iron for heavy-duty ironing. Of the four new irons we tested for this 2022 update, the DW5280 was by far the easiest to fill. The iron was designed to be filled lying horizontally, and the extra-wide water-filling inlet makes it a breeze, whether filling with a cup or simply straight out of the faucet. It was also easy to see the maximum fill line since the water tank is see-through. (This wasn’t always the case with the other irons we tested.)<\/p>\nTable of contents<\/h2>\n
