Default Steam Iron suggestions....

....the Old Dear's Iron has broken 13 months into service It was a Russell Hobbs one with a steam generator thingy. She would like similar, but one which may give a little more service. Suggestions?
Don't shoot me for asking such a lame question

I haven't got a steam generator iron but I love my Tefal ultraglide steam iron

Having said that I don't use it very often as I despise ironing

We pay a woman £40 a month. Best £40 I ever spend.

Being quite infamouse for ironing I feel I am able to give advise on this topic.

I would go for a Philips AZUR, only 150 grams, with 2400 watts of power, and also fitted with a steam glide main plate with added steam tip.

How exactly it works, I am unsure....

I hope you're talking about golf.....................





If not give her £50 and tell her to fill her boots in Currys (No PSL around so I can say that), afterall, I expect that she'll be the only one to use it, if not ..............

I run a ironing service with my mum and have done for the last 6 years.

The best steam generator irons we've used are

Buy Tefal GV7150 Steam Generator. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

these ones or a make called Rowenta

Just make sure you clean them out regular

It's actually my iron, I chose it myself before I'd even met Sal! Naturally I considered ergonomics, performance, price etc and then bought a blue one!

Turns out, it's pretty good, if you know how to use it, which I don't!
