Morphy Richards 42270

Advantages: Light, Easy to use, Quick Ironing.
Disadvantages: Takes up a lot of room, Needs Refilling Often, Sometimes Leaks

...I decided to purchase the Morphy Richards 42270 Jet Stream Iron. If you dont want to spend a fortune then this is good value for money. I paid £69.98 for it which is definately the lower end of the Steam Generator family Chain, but it does the trick. You may be able to find it slightly cheaper online. Its quite light but takes up quite a lot of room. It can fit easily on a sturdy ironing board and can even be placed on the floor if its safe in your ...
...enough to make it more convienent to move about when ironing if necessary. The heat up time is about 3 minutes. It makes an awful noise when you first use it but the manual says this is perfectly normal and is just the water circulating in the iron, to produce steam.

Advantages: Light, easy to use, easy to refill, makes ironing quicker and easier.
Disadvantages: Difficult to store, tank poor shape.

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

Advantages: makes ironing creases faster
Disadvantages: takes time to generate steam, needs filling often

at first i found this iron really easy to use, even though it does make a lot of noise while generating the water which does pass after about 30 seconds or so, the water needs refilling very often which can be annoying when you are in the flow of your ironing! I have also noticed that every time the water tank needs refilling it can take up to more than a min for the steam to generate, which is very annoying with the awful noise that the generator ...
...8 months and after refilling the tank during ironing the water is refusing to come through at all, so i have to turn the thing off and wait untill its cool enough to start again! the iron is great to use when there is steam generating through it, but in my case that is not very often! ...
