Tefal Pro Express Turbo Steam Generator £129+VAT MAKRO

Bought one of these yesterday, nearly paid £215 for it on Amazon.
Model no GV8360

A few minutes after I switched it on, I got the fright of my life it rose up like a hovercraft and shot forward, I managed to grab it by the cord. Did a bit of ironing and was a bit freaked out by how powerful it was, then I discovered that my ironing board was the solid metal type , you need one with vents or mesh for the generator irons. Back to Makro bought a MINKY, big broad, solid for £19.99 + VAT. SMASHING

Got up early to tackle my ironing (I do B&B so I need a good iron).
Literally steamed through the lot in a few hours. Perfect, had to put the dehumidifier on while I was using it, boy does it steam, went to the loo and couldn't believe my eyes when I peered in the mirror. I looked like one of the new seasons strawberries, bright red and all my pores were open. I've had this giant blackhead for years that I've never been able to get out, I hardly touched it and it burst forth. YAY!
So it not only irons, but gives you a facial as well.

I've had dozens of irons, this has to be the best of the lot. :T:T:T

Just one thing you need a shower after you've finished. A cold one to close up your pores.

    Aye the wrinkles are gone. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Forgot to tell you about my LEGS! they were bright red! :eek: I look as though I've been out in the sun.

    Then there's the dehumidifier, full of water. Makes you wonder what a year of using this iron would do to your house.

    Aww! well at least my ironings done and my skin looks great LOL, I really did have to have a cold shower to close all my pores.
