The best iron I have had
Review of Breville IR23 Digital Steam IRON by
lisa1907
Advantages: Self cleaning iron
Disadvantages: none at all
We bought this after years of just having a little travel one it was when my partner changed jobs and had to wear a shirt and tie that we went and bought a better iron and picked up this one I think was on sale at the time which made us go for it.
This iron has heaps I like about it my one is digital settings on this which I find is better you still have the knob bit you turn to different settings but the digital display is the temp of the iron.
... ...which is good for the nightmare of a shirt that just wont iron out it will never beat you with this iron.
Electronic display and 7 fabric settings, with shirts now shows you on the tag the picture of the iron with the dots in it to let you know the temp well the this iron shows you the same picture on the temp display which makes it easier to not melt the shirts.
Professional ceramic soleplate Anti-scale and non-drip this iron is also self cleaning ...

One spurt = one big smile
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 ...

Reliable, basic steam generator
Review of Morphy Richards 42270 Jetstream Generator 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 ...

fabulous
Review of Philips GC 8220/02 by
ricecake
Advantages: great
Disadvantages: bit heavy - but that is what you are buying
I have to disagree with the person who was very negative about this 'iron', I can only say you simply do not iron! I have been ironing for 30 years and this is by far the best I have ever used and will continue to use, walks all over my previous normal steam irons, and it is going to be larger as it is a steam generator not an iron!! So please do not be put off by this persons neg obviously has never really done much ironing?? I have a family of ...

Morphy Richards iron
Review of Morphy Richards 40669 by
becks1005
Advantages: Large water tank, non-stick soleplate
Disadvantages: none
I've always bought cheap irons in the past but as they tend to mark easily and hence mark your clothes, I decided to buy a slightly more expensive one. With so many to choose from, the main reason I chose this model in the end was because it was half price at Tesco...£15.00. It has a non-stick soleplate so it's less likely to mark and comes with a two year guarantee. Other features include anti-scale system, 400ml water tank, illuminated settings ... ...been very positive. Although I initially thought the 400ml water tank was pretty irrelevant, it's actually quite useful as I don't have to keep refilling it if I've got a lot of ironing to do. It is a bit bigger than the cheap irons I've been used to but if anything this has been advantageous. Overall I've been delighted with this iron, I've now had it three months and as I expected with a reputable brand like this, I've had no problems whatsoever. ...
