Rowenta Effective Comfort Iron Review & Giveaway

March 28, 2011 by Kristen Stephens 7 Comments

I was so excited to try out the Rowenta DW2000 series- Effective Comfort iron since my previous iron has seen its better days!  There were many aspects about the Rowenta Effective Comfort iron that appealed to me.  The Rowenta DW2000 series Effective Comfort was easy to use and comfortable to hold and maneuver while ironing.

The directions were given in pictures which made it very easy to figure out right away.  I originally set the temperature wrong and had the water leaking from the sole plate because it was not hot enough.  Once I corrected this, the iron was a pleasure to use.  I began by ironing some clothes which ironed easily using the steam and for some materials the burst of steam  really came in handy.  The soleplate easily glided over different fabrics and its shape helped when doing sleeves and around buttons etc.

Since I am a quilter, a good iron is very necessary.  The Rowenta DW2000’s precision tip made it very easy to work with the corners and triangles I was making.  I was using the iron set on dry and it worked very well on the cotton material. I did not have to repeatedly go over the same area.  Also during quilting ,you leave the iron ready to use and the auto shut off at 8 minutes was sufficient for me to work and then come back to use the iron after each piece. Having  an iron that has an  auto shut off and extensive steam options which the Rowenta DW2000 does is very important to me, and I would never buy an iron that didn’t  have these two features.  I would definitely recommend thisiron to people who need one for crafts or sewing and for everday ironing.

Rowenta has graciously offered up two Rowenta Focus irons to our loyal followers! Click over to the Rowenta Focus Iron Giveaway Link to add your comment.

    I belong to a quilting group- and one gal recently purchased a new Rowenta- and absolutely loves it. When we meet at her house- we all want to use it!

    My iron, a Rowena Focus, has seen better days too. Almost 11 years of use. This one sounds marvelous. It is just what the doctor ordered.

    How do you clean the soleplate if it got some
    stuff from touching a material other than the cotton I was ironing first?

    There is no better steam iron. I love it.

Easy Pen and Paper Games for Road Trips and Beyond

When my daughter was younger I would spend a lot of time trying to come up with activities she could do in the car on long road trips and things to entertain her when we were waiting at restaurants and things that didn’t involve screens. 

But it turns out there are a lot of great activities you can do with just a piece of paper and a pen. 

What Do We Do All Day has a great collection of pen and paper games, including some that can be done with just one person, though they’re all more fun if you have at least two. 

There are some classics on here like hangman and dots and boxes, but there are also quite a few I hadn’t heard of before. 

I don’t want to spoil the whole list for you because you should definitely click over there and look around, but I will share about the one that you see pictured above. 

This game is called Bridges, and you start by making the big random shape and the dividing it into a bunch of sections (the post says 30-50 sections is ideal but I think this one is smaller than that). 

Each player gets their own color marker and you take turns drawing bridges from one space to another, crossing a third. Once there’s a bridge, no other bridges can start, end or cross in those spaces. Keep going until no more bridges can be built, and the person who makes the last bridge wins. 

Check out the post over at What We Do All Day for more great ideas for no or almost-no prep games you can play with your kids or that kids can play together. I’d love to know if you have a favorite paper and pen game, whether it’s on this list or a different one.
