Rowenta Access
Score: 72/100
PurSteam SteamTech Elite
Score: 78/100Rankings
The PurSteam PUR0017 delivers 30 g/min continuous steam, a digital LED display and a sizable 450 ml tank, making it powerful and user-friendly. Its weight and lack of vertical steaming limit portability and versatility. Ideal for households needing strong, precise steam performance.
Rowenta Access offers a 1725 W stainless-steel soleplate, 59-second heat-up and a retractable cord for convenient storage. The modest water-tank capacity and limited steam burst reach can hinder long sessions. Suited for everyday mixed-fabric ironing on a budget.
