Review of Home-Tek HT 611 Garment Steamer Travel by
Lunar_see
Advantages: Easy to use, excellent crease removal, lightweight
Disadvantages: None
...travel iron. Then the Home-Tek Travel Streamer Iron was thrust into my hands by a work colleague whom after hearing my moans assured me that if I took care of her precious item I could use it and return it.
The Home-Tek Iron is to be blunt shaped like an old fashioned Joystick and looks nothing like an Iron or in fact a travel iron, which I must say look naff and cheap in any capacity. This iron is really lightweight and fits into my travel case ... ...decided to purchase my own. Home-Tek are not a brand I had heard of, so with my basic computer knowledge I managed to find out a little bit about the company using Google and found that they are championed by Ainsley Harriot and make an array of household good from kettles, carpet sweepers, sterilizers and irons to juicing machines, ovens and slow cookers and sell their items in 70 countries worldwide, so they are definitely a brand on the move and ...

morphy Iron
Review of Morphy Richards 40675 by
tenburyhockey
Advantages: good solid iron
Disadvantages: looks average
An excellent iron at the right price.
Has all the features that you would expect on an Iron - such as steam system varied temperature control and a water jet.
The different colours provide a personal choice.
The iron does not take long to heat up and is perfectly safe. It has stable connections and doesnot show wigns of overheating.
The iron is solid and shows little sign of wear and tear. The underside is durable and does not leave marks on ...

girlie iron
Review of Russell Hobbs 12659 Thermocolour 2000 by
laurapinder
Advantages: quick, hot
Disadvantages: pink
i think this iron is fantastic. its girlie colour encourages my flat mates to do my ironing!!! honestly though, my flatmate bought this a few months ago and i find it so compfy to grip and use, and it irons really well. It has an easy fill function for the steam and you can set the steam or jet spray at different levels. The temperature changes very quickly so there is no waiting around until you can iron the next thing, and it warms up immediately. ...

Only a masochist would consider the Aquamax
Review of Morphy Richards 42345 Aquamax Premium by
littlexen
Advantages: The reservoir is easy to fill, the iron is lightweight and easy to hold
Disadvantages: Price, size, time it takes to warm up, cannot retain set temperatures, doesn't remove creases
...The decision to purchase the Morphy Richards 42345 Aquamax was my own so as you will become aware as you continue to read on, the blame rests entirely upon my shoulders. I worked on the theory when deciding to make my purchase that an iron that has a water reservoir to keep the heated iron damp and costing £49.99 would be superior to a cheaper model where water had to be sprayed as I ironed. I am terrible at describing how things look so I have attached ... ...As an iron the Morphy Richards 42345 Aquamax is quite possibly the worst I have ever used and wouldn’t even if in an evil mood recommend one to my worst enemy as I know how angry and frustrated I got trying to use it. In summary, the bad points are:
Price
Size
Takes 10 minutes to warm up
It cannot retain temperatures selected
Doesn’t remove even light creases
On the positive side:
The reservoir is easy to fill
The iron is lightweight
Looking ...

More than just smooth looks
Review of Morphy Richards 40703 by
fairhead
Advantages: Good steam shot, long cord, big reservoir and good glide for its weight
Disadvantages: Blunt nose and smallish pouring hole.
...at some good reviews for Morphy Richards I narrowed my field and braved the catalogue-flicking crowds at Argos. Why this one?
The 40703 caught my eye purely because it was a) half price - at £17.99 it seemed a good deal, and b) in stock. It was a good decision. Advantages.
The long 3m cord means I don't need to hunt for the extension lead now and it doesn't tangle. Large reservoir and pouring jug means fewer interruptions to refill and splash water ... ...seems less inclined to adhere to every sticky label. It isn't too heavy but with its hefty steam shot it has de-creased my husband's 100% cotton shirts very well and makes light work of the childrens' clothes. Ironing will never be considered a pleasure but I have reduced my ironing time as many items, especially school uniforms only need ironing on one side and still look crisp. This is a BIG plus. Disadvantages
Although I am very pleased with ...
