Review: Morphy Richards 42244 Steam Generator Iron

Make a boring job more exciting*, quicker and easier!

If your iron scales up and conks out on you leaving you in a sweaty heap, draped over the piles of crinkled clothes on your ironing board why not invest in your sanity and gain some more free time and treat yourself to a well-deserved steam generator iron?

It’s very easy to use (and I say that as someone who has little patience for reading page after page of an instruction manual). I quickly powered through a huge pile ironing in no time at all.  It was a job I’d been putting off for, well, too long, to be honest.  In fact I was seriously considering paying someone to do as I’d put it off so long!  It made a hated task easily and instantly more pleasant, by being quick AND achieving great results. For seriously creased items (the ones that had been languishing at the bottom of the basket for months) I just kept the steam button pressed throughout and they came out uncreased, sharp and looking great.

A higher wattage takes the labour away especially on big cumbersome sheets and thick fabrics, like heavy denim.  The large tank gives more steam for ease of use… greater steam pressure knocks the creases out more easily and allows vertical steam cleaning on curtains, drapes and other hung fabrics.

The anti-scale function reduces the buildup of limescale, but ensure you regularly descale and use cooled kettle water to help prolong the life of your product.

The longer lead gives a greater range for movement. The smooth soleplate helps prevent ruining fabric with an unsightly shiny finish. Snazzy colours are available to coordinate with your home.

All this will leave you (almost) begging for more ironing* as they are so much simpler to use than conventional irons.

Put the I (want to) back into iron!

EDITOR’s NOTE: *Purchasing this admittedly brilliant iron may NOT actually make ironing exciting, but you be the judge of that!
