After years of never ironing clothes......
Review of Morphy Richards 42279 Steam Generator by
stitchy
Advantages: Easy to use,
Disadvantages: Bulky,
After years of never ironing clothes......until they were needed, I now look forward to the dryer ending its cycle and being able to stand and iron the clothes BEFORE they are put away.
I have always HATED ironing and when buying clothes would look for the no-iron garments. This iron has changed that.
It is a lovely design and a pleasure to use. You fill up the water container, replace the filter ( By the way it comes with six filters) and wait ... ...little while for it to power up initially, especially on the high steam setting but once the initial power up is done it is just a few seconds during the ironing session if you leave it at rest.
The amount of steam you use is controllable, and you have the option of no steam. The vertical steam function means you can iron a jacket on its hanger, or the curtains at the window...with no sheen from the iron.
The iron does the job and gets the most ...

Reliable, basic steam generator
Review of Morphy Richards 42270 by
richysgirl
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 ...

Morphy Richards 42278 STEA Iron
Review of Morphy Richards 42278 Steam Generator by
trumo
Advantages: Good steam power
Disadvantages: Noisy. Takes a while for steam to come through when refilled.
This is an upper to middle of the range corded steam generator iron. It has all the standard functions you would expect with a modern iron and the steam jet is particularly powerful.
It irons very well, I used to spend ages ironing until I bought one of these and a new board and now I get it done in half the time - it's amazing what a difference a decent iron makes!
Overall the iron is sturdy and seems well made. The cord is a bit thick and can ... ...I would say is that it's very noisy! In fact, it scares the s*#t out of my dog!
Also, it is quite a bulky and heavy object to shove away in a cupboard - nobody wants to look at the iron when they're not using it!
To sum up - this thing reduced the time I spend ironing so it was definitely worth the £90!

My purple iron
Review of Tefal FV5260 by
rockchick080
Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Could perform just as well if it was slightly smaller
This iron is used in my family house hold and was bought by my mother. Since movin out recently i also choose to buy it myself. I was plesently suprised to see that the price was low for this high performanced iron. I'd recommend this iron to everyone because if it is good enough for my clean freak OCD riddin mother then it is good enough for anyone. I find that it is fast and easy to use. I would suggest this especially for students as it is very ...

the steamer of irons
Review of Morphy Richards 40730 by
minibus10
Advantages: Turns off automatically if left
Disadvantages: Difficult to fill
My iron is the Morphy Richards Precise Steam Plus and it really is,a constant 40 grams of steam with a shot button of 80 grams really makes ironing those jeans a breeze.I have a lot of ironing with 7 people in my family, I need an iron I feel comfortable with and also quick and easy to use. I first bought this iron 18 months ago but accidently knocked it off the kitchen cupboard and broke the soleplate I liked this iron so much I went to Argos the ... ...pleasantly surprised to find it was on offer in the sale at a price of £24.99p.The safety switch-off system is a real bonus,if left unused it switches off automatically very handy if the phone rings etc,it has an anti scale system a must for me as I live in a hard water area and this prolongs the life of the iron,the handle is comfortable being the ergonomically designed Comfigrip handle and the Ceramic coated soleplate ensures the iron glides over ...
