Irons > Tefal Irons > 50 GBP and more

Advantages: Reduced ironing time
Disadvantages: Very Expensive

Tefal GV 9150 Protect Turbo Out of all the household tasks ironing is the one I hate and the one I am useless at. So when my iron died a death a couple of months ago I thought I would invest in a steam generator iron. Whilst they are expensive they all claimed to cut your ironing time down by half, which sounded good to me. I opted for the Tefal Protect Turbo as I liked the idea that you could cover it with a hood and put it away still hot, without ...
...Ok so what's the iron Tefal Protect like? Well there is no picture on Ciao so I will try and describe the iron too you. All steam generator irons are much bulkier than your standard iron this is because of the large water reservoir where the steam is generated and the Tefal Protect is no different. The actual iron which you hold is very light weight and easy to maneuvere it sits on a white base unit which generates all the steam and has a see through ... Read review

Advantages: STILL A GREAT STEAM GENERATOR, GREAT FEATURES, GREAT FINISH IN HALF THE TIME
Disadvantages: TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IS AN OLD MODEL IN NEW COLOURS

...have, however found that the Tefal range and especially the Tefal pro express GV8150 was the best one I have had. Well, to my surprise, Tefal have got a new version. Just had to get it (well business expense and all) and see if the new and improved version would once again enrich my lonely days of ironing. Decided to order it and wait with trepidation for the delivery(have to get the excitement where you can). Once it had arrived, end of the day ...
...I do not see why Tefal has thought that this was necessary except that they just want more cash for what is essentially the same product(shame on them). All I have to say to them is "why fix what is not broken". This is still a great iron which will enhance your ironing experience and will allow you to steam through your ironing(forgive the pun) and if you are looking for this then I recommend it as it will probably lasts a long time but there is ...

Advantages: Irons well
Disadvantages: Break down constantly

...£250, so I have told LauraStar they can keep it - I'm done with their machines. I strongly recomend anyone thinking about this Iron to think again. They are great when they work, but I've had 3 and they have all broken down. When you pay this much for an iron, it should last for many years! ... Read review

Advantages: Great results, lots of steam, makes ironing easier
Disadvantages: None

...appreiciate the quality of this Bosch iron. The black deign with red trim aslo gives it a unique look amoung other irons. In the past I have broken several irons easily as they've fallen from an unstable ironing board, this one has fallen many times and continues to work perfectly - a testament to its build quality and durability. If faced with the prospect of replacing this iron I would simply buy another one. Its one of the best bits of kit I've ... Read review

Advantages: Large Stainless Steel Plate, Vertical Steaming, Powerful Bust of Steam
Disadvantages: None that I can find

I go through Irons at a rapid pace of knots and this one so far is standing up to the challenge. This has got to be the best Iron I have owned to date. It has a cushioned hand grip, making it comfortable to use even after an hour of ironing. The spray and steam buttons are quite large and the water inlet hole is big enough that you don't keep spilling any. The temperature control dial is large enough and shows in detail what setting you are in so ...
...You can Iron as you normally would with steam or even dry iron with this one, you can even hold the iron up right and steam vertically, great if you need to get the creases out of curtains and can't be bothered standing to iron them (a little like dry cleaning, i suppose) It has a stainless steel plate and glides across clothes really easily. The ironing plate is quite large so great for all types of clothes. A brilliant buy in my eyes, one to definately ... Read review
