    I wondered what "steam generator iron thingies " were so looked at Argos online. They have them from £50 to £250!

    Ironing isn't worth it :D never mind a fancy one. Mine was £5 ish in Tesco does the job when I need it to.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200

    Got mine in Sainsbury's last year (Morphy Richards) and it cost just under £40 - reduced from £80. It's fab. The ironing takes less time, I don't have to fill it up with water all the time (lasts several long ironing sessions) especially doing superking cotton quilt covers, has an anti-calc cartridge which stops all that horrible whiteish scum going all over your clothes when you iron. If mine died now I'd gladly pay the full price of £80 to replace it! 'Nuf said?!

  • Just looked at the Debenhams online sale and they have a Tefal 4283514p steam generator iron for £50 (reduced from £130) and with the 20% off code, it comes down to £40.

    Anyone know if it is any good ?

    There is also a Tefal steamer half price at £12.50 which I am definitely ordering
