Breville IR 13 OPUS Swift Glide

Advantages: Dry tank alert light, Extra large, easy-fill water tank
Disadvantages: A little heavy

...I might just enjoy compiling this review, as one of my pet hates is ironing. In fact, with no help to me, instead of ironing the small amounts of clothes after washing and drying, I make a huge un-ironed 'clothes mountain' and then moan how much I have to do! This is where the Breville Opus Swift Glide IR13 comes in. It's efficiency to deal with even the most creased of items, it helps me sail through my 'clothes mountain' in no time at all.

...Steam irons are such an essential product that is used in most households; it’s a product that we all can’t live without. Looking your best and taking care of your appearance is something so important these days in life in my opinion. But however when it comes to doing the ironing, there are no voluntaries, it’s a chore bore, and is most dreaded by most of us. Hand irons are device used for garment pressing; irons have been heated directly by gas flame, stove plate heat, or in the case of the modern iron by electricity. Henry W Seely patented the electric iron in 1882. The electric iron was invented in 1882 in France using a carbon arc to create heat, a method that was found to be extremely dangerous.
