Steam generator irons

love_lifer

i got one this year- i used the which guide to choose. its definitely easier work than my last conventional iron and its powerful.

ironing is still sh*t tho

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes - I love mine. You don't have to pay lots for one either. I tried several at various friends houses and decided in the end to go for a Morphy Richards Jet Stream, which I managed to get for £40 in one of those Cash Generator shops, but I think they are around £70 in Argos. I hate ironing but this helps no end. I fold T-shirts as if I am going to put them away without ironing and then just run the SG iron over the folded top side and they are perfectly crease free. Same with bedding. I would say, if you can afford one get one.

mine has just died, and having to go back to a "normal" iron is breaking my heart. So if you see any good deals out there....

OMG YES YES YES - they are brilliant. Even my 15yr old son says its better!

I got a Russell Hobbs from Robert Dyas for £49.99 + p&p but I think they've not put it up to £69.99 but it would still be worth it.

You can iron twice as much stuff in half the time IMO so go for it

I love mine too. I got mine in Lidl for £40, and it works really well.
I used to iron both sides, but now I don't, because the steam is enouigh to go right through. Halves the time spent ironing!

Yes...they are so worth it!!

Just about sums my question up really. I hate hate hate ironing with a passion and anything I could find to make the whole sorry experience shorter and more pleasant would be good.

Thank you so much for posting this scrimpingbadger - I read a post yesterday re ironing (was it yours??) - I detest it - & someone mentioned 'steam generator iron thingies' - so I've just come on line to ask the very same question you've already posted :beer: so I now have my answer (earlier than expected & am off to buy one - I'll report back later )

I use one at work sometimes and it's brilliant. When mine at home finally dies, I'll be getting one without a doubt!

Thanks everyone - I'm now about to start researching them - anything that cuts ironing time in half HAS to be good. Then the other half of the time I could be....eating chocolate or reading an improving book!!
