I have the tefal steam generator iron the 2950 - was half price in argos at approx £100.its brilliant. i would never go back to an ordinary iron .The best money i ever spent. you can steam clothes on the hanger without even using the ironing board.i had the Iron in the box for over a week thinking could it possibly be worth all that money.....FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, we are currently looking at geting a steam generator iron. The Which report gives this best buy (although they didn't test the other two we were considering so not that helpful!). The report says the cord is a bit short. If you work with the steam part on the floor does the length of the cord compromise your ironing? i.e is it annoyingly short?

I have a Morphy Richards and, although the cord is long enough to reach the end of the ironing board when the generator is placed where you would ordinarily put the iron, it wouldn't be long enough if the generator was placed on the floor. With most models the iron rests on the top part of the generator though so no need to put on floor.
