After years of buying £20 irons, this time we decided to splash out a bit and buy one of the more expensive ones. We got this iron for about £65 from Argos. At first we thought this was a bit pricey for an iron but you can really see where the extra money is going.

The weight and feel of the iron is good and it has some really nice features such as auto-switch off with visible warning light. It also lights up a cool blue colour when it is on. It also has anti-calc (built in antiscale function).

We really like the other things about this iron that make it stand out - long lead, excellent heat resistant plate cover that allows you to wrap the lead around and put it away even when it is still hot and than that it is easy to fill up the water tank with the supplied jug!

I thought it would be hard to write a review about an iron, but thinking about it, this Philips one is really good! We have owned it for a year now and have never had any problems with it - the plate is still scale free (we live in a hard water area) and it still performs really well.

£60+ may be a lot to pay for an iron, but I think that in this instance it is well worth it.

Check out the Philips website for all the features - we just plug it in and push it over our clothes which come out crease free with the minimum of effort!

That's a lot of money for an iron, and I hate ironing. I have given your review a very helpful rating, because you have described some features such as antiscale and the hotplate protector thing that justify the extra cost. My cheepo iron has packed in too due to scale.

I could never justify £60 on an iron although it does sound good :)
