  • bought one of these and it started leaking after 2 uses. Asda replaced it but the second one did the same, although at least that one waited until I'd used it 5 times.

    Hardly even worth £4 if you can't use it. You get what you pay for, I guess.

    Yes you do but you can send it back free up to 100 days and get a refund. It also carries a two year warranty so they replace or refund.
    Maybe you were just unlucky but either way you can`t go wrong at £4.

    Similar is sold at Argos, also £4 hardly a grab it now bargain they are the basic models which have been sold for years.

    I bought one of these simply to have as a back-up should the main iron fail again so we don't have to rush into buying a new iron. It is slightly heavier than the one in Argos the reason I chose it over that one.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    No £4 steam irons at Argos, cheapest is £9-99.
