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.

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! ...
