Reviews of Irons »

Should've bought a Phillips 4340 :-/

Advantages: Lightweight. Good for fiddly bits that require steam not pressing.
Disadvantages: Filling is laboursome. Can't cope with tough creases.

A Comet instore promotion of £10 off meant I got this for £39.99 - WAY more than I could've paid online! :-( And I'm not impressed. It's fine for your normal clothes, but it struggles with 'hard' cottons such as you get with starchy cotton teatowels. So there's no way it can cope with tough denim or my John Lewis cotton duvet cover (more creases than an aged elephant). Temp control is a 'plasticky' slider, not as easy as a wheel. Vertical steam: ...
...require steam shot rather than actual pressing. Filling: easy as the cap is large - but you have to invert the iron so you need to unplug it & allow it to cool down a bit first otherwise the steam goes mental. I had a Breville Opus Resilium Pro previously (Fantastic!) and boy do I ever regret dropping that & cracking it, as it is no longer in production. ...

It is my first bought iron (before i was using one Tefal iron - light and quite good one, dont remember the model). This iron had to be not a budget one, but for a years. After buying it i was a little dissapointed, and if had to choose again, probably i would search an iron among Tefal (or try others, before buying). Here are pluses and minuses. (-) - the steamer making really strange voices - its quite heavy - in higher temperatures (allowed for ...

Not good!

Advantages: Very efficient when new, I was very impressed for the first few months.
Disadvantages: Poor quality product, not durable, and dreadful customer service from Philips staff

...over time. I phoned Philips for advice - they confirmed that no descaling should be necessary...but tell that to the dirty brown sludge that spat out every time I tried to iron something. So, ultimately, the iron got louder and louder (a downside of steam generators) and the performance got worse and worse, until finally, I just couldn't put up with the dripping heap of rubbish any more! I stress that it was fab when new, but it's lack of durability, ...

Reliable, basic steam generator

Advantages: Light, easy to use, easy to refill, makes ironing quicker and easier.
Disadvantages: Difficult to store, tank poor shape.

...needing to be refilled, the Morphy Richards lasts me for at least an hour. With the water tank (which can't be detatched) the iron isn't particularly easy to store, I've kept the original box and return the iron to that after each use but with the box being cardboard I'm not sure that this offers a longterm solution. I've also had a bit of a problem placing the iron and tank on my ironing board. It doesn't feel all that secure so I think that at ...
