I never thought I would be writing a review on a Steam Generator but there’s a first for everything. I’ve used a steam iron for years (well my Wife has). I’ve now taken over this job, surprisingly I find it relaxing and satisfying. This product is a game changer! Simple to use and less taxing than a heavy Steam iron. Generates lots of steam and you can iron in a fraction of the time. A great big reservoir so you don’t have to keep filling it up. I don’t know if it’s a feature on other models but a water spray would be handy although not a deal breaker. I looked at the reviews and overall this model was the best quality and value. If you haven’t already just put it in your basket. Happy Ironing!

This steam generator iron is excellent. The constant, powerful steam makes ironing so much faster and more effective, especially on large items like quilt covers or thicker fabrics such as jeans. The ceramic plate glides beautifully and leaves everything looking crisp and smooth. One small caution — when carrying the unit, it’s easy to catch the locking mechanism, so it’s best to support it underneath. A small detail on an otherwise outstanding iron that saves a lot of time.

Great iron, light weight and smooth to use. Removed creases like a dream. Tank is large so takes up space on ironing board therefore it reduces your ironing space on board and it also needs a stable base. My solution is as per photo. Slightly irritating is the noise of generator pumping water when steaming but I’m very happy with this iron. Buyers should be advised that it is recommended to use de-ionised water

We have had several steam iron over the years, but thsi one is the best to date. Quiet operation, heats up quickly, very effective on cotton, no smearing from the base plate, good size reservoir which is easy to detach and fill. All in all makes ironing considerably easier!

Bought to replace the older version after a long and useful life. This version has several improvements over the last model. The biggest is that iron stands up by itself, so the unit can rest on the floor. It has a smaller footprint for easy storage. Highly recommened.

I bought this model this week and it seemed great, just what I wanted to replace my previous Morphy Richards that had given up the ghost. I went to try it and started to iron some jeans. The base unit slipped off the tray on the ironing board. ( I have used this ironing board with tray for years with other models of iron ) and fell onto the floor spilling water all over the place. Without thinking I grabbed it off the floor ( it was still plugged in to socket ) luckily I was not electrocuted as water and electricity are such a great combination. When I turned the base unit over to see why it had slipped off the tray, there are four holes moulded into the base for rubber anti slip pads to fit into. There were no rubber anti slip pads fitted so I contacted Morphy Richards to ask them to send me some to fit in order to make it safe. Their reply was that they do not fit rubber pads in this model. Out of curiosity I went to Curry’s to check other Morphy Richards models and they had rubber pads fitted. In order to increase profits by about 40 pence saving on rubber pads they have made this model dangerous to use as it slides about on whatever you surface you place it on. I will be returning this iron as it is unsafe to use, just to save a few coppers for profit line figures. Well done Morphy Richards.

Took a while to get used to putting the iron back into the block between moving the item to the next area to be ironed. It makes ironing so quick as it irons both sides of the item at the same time due to the powerful steaming. Great purchase. Later addition: A few reviews have mentioned the impact of this iron on their ironing boards. Be aware that all this family of iron types, not just this brand, really need a mesh/ perforated ironing board base to allow the volume of steam produced to pass through. A padded wooden base will absorb the steam and sodden it.

It has a large steam capacity and irons even the toughest of materials (denim) well. But, it leaks quick a bit when in use and you are not able to switch it off manually - the iron needs to be unplugged or left unattended for a while to switch off!
