Its the old story. When my trusty iron of five years faithful service finally packed in, it was time to buy a new one.

...instruction booklet in a variety of languages. ~~ CAN IT DO THE JOB? My previous iron finally pakced in when little pieces of plastic holding the water tank became wedged in the side of the tank. This caused the tank to expand slightly, and as aresult, it leaked. This shorted the fuse (13 amp), and as aresult, my fridge,kettle and radio also went off. When I removed the stray pieces of plastic, the problem seemed solved, but I increasingly found ... Read review

Advantages: It boils water
Disadvantages: It doesnt if not told to

The Philips GC 4340 is a precise steam iron which has a special tip so ironing is made easier for those hard to reach places on some garments. I have used the iron a few times and can say that its quite easy to use compared to the iron we had before this one.

Comfort Vaporesse is basically an ironing water which aids ironing, prevents your iron getting clogged up with limescale and helps fragrance your clothes because ...
...nicely his clothes smelt! Comfort Vaporesse is definitely a product which has made my ironing and nicer and much more pleasant experience that it has ever been! The nice smell quickly surrounds you as your iron releases the fragranced water as steam, and it left all of my clothes lightly fragranced and very soft too. The easy pour spout prevents spillages when putting the water into the iron, and the clear bottle allows you to keep an eye on how ... Read review
