Iron Under £20 Request!

Hi there, recently my cat, decided that it didn't like my iron and therefore dropped it to the floor and now it doesn't work! So if anyone knows of any offers regarding irons for under £20 or maybe up to £25 please post them, as all would be approciated, I know there are irons for under £5 in Tesco's etc, but how reliable are they, do they work well?
Thanks Mark

    check the wattage of the irons usually the one with the highest wattage will work better, i use a cheap one from currys and its fine
  • I bought one of the Value ones from Tesco (approx £5) & it worked fine - my only problem with it was that the water tank was very small & as I am ironing for 6 of us I was constantly having to refill it. Would say it's ok if you're only ironing for 1 or 2 people.

    Have a Tesco 'cheapie' was about £5 or £10, using it all the time, no problems at all, does everything a iron should do!

    You all have much better luck with them than me! In my experience all steam irons are equally rubbish, regardless of price, and leak everywhere. I have given up on them entirely and have a flat iron that I use with a damp tea towel and a spray bottle.
