I wanna buy a cheap, quality steam iron

The_Machine

After my Tefal steam iron spectaculary went up in smoke, I need to get myself a new one. (NB preferably not Tefal!)

Does anyone have any current recommendations for a good quality iron that won't break the bank? Would be nice to have decent soleplate, anti-drip, anti-calc, auto shut off.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at these, from this link - though you'll have to copy and paste it in your address bar, and put the words "offer of the day" together. This site doesn't seem to like it.....

Managed to get myself a Breville IR73 Steam Glide 2200W Iron from my local Tesco Extra store for £15 (£39.99 rrp, £24.99 @ Argos). Discontinued, so they're selling the last few off cheaply.

Features:-
80gsm steam shot
Stainless steel soleplate
Auto power off
Vertical steam
Anti drip
Self clean
Also makes cheese toasties!*

I've got an ironing stastion (one of those with he huge water tank) from Lidl. It was £49.99, and they are about to have it on sale again. Really good steam and a heavy iron.
