Irons > Iron Steamstation Irons

Advantages: A very efficient iron with plenty of steam for those difficult items
Disadvantages: looks a bit dated - but does that matter?

I bought one of these irons a few months ago, and it's been great. The benefit of having a steam generator is huge - I'd say it halves the time taken to do the ironing, which is quite considerable if you have children. I bought a 'graded' one from an Ebay trader, but you wouldn't know to look at it - it was a lot cheaper, though, at £90! For those who don't know, a steam generator boils the water up in the base, and feeds the steam to the iron through ...
...more steam because it can hold more water and has a big boiler, so you can zoom through the ironing. This one is well built and feels solid to use. It has a stainless steel base, so no worrying about damaging any coatings on studs etc, but it still glides well. The water tank is a good size, and lets you iron for nearly an hour before it's empty.....and even then, you just remove the tank without switching the iron off, take it to the tap to fill ...

Advantages: It Irons Like a Dream
Disadvantages: Only worthwhile if you have the Stamina to Iron for England

...boring white and turquoise coloured Tefal 2810 Pressing Compact as does the fellow female customer (I think she is in shock) complete with 'Ultra Glide Diffusion' sole plate at the price of £74.99.... actually it's not ceramic so there!! On leaving the shop with a big bulky box and considerably less cash in my pocket I cannot believe I have spent that much money on an iron and it was on half price offer at that, however having given up smoking in ...
...tears. So how will the Tefal 2810 live up to linen?. It's put to the test prior to our Cuba trip... I adore linen, it's cool in the heat and looks nice on but in the past it has always proved to be a swine to iron. However I wizz through 2 weeks worth of holiday clothes like a breeze and only have to refill the tank once, a word of warning here though, once the tank has run out of steam switch off the iron and give it a good twenty minutes to cool ...

Advantages: does the job

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 ...

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 ... Read review
