Review: The best iron I've ever owned, and the cheapest. - I left my partner to order me a new iron and was a little concerned that he was not willing to spend a lot of money on it. However, it may be the cheapest iron I've ever owned, but it is the best iron I've ever owned. Give him his due, he did do his research and this iron did have the best reviews in it's price range and I can see why. It is lightweight, which I thought meant it wouldn't iron as well however it irons beautifully. Heats up very quickly and irons clothes and bedding with ease. It's easy to use and to be my delight, when I have it on high steam it doesn't dribble water out everywhere which my past irons have done.
Review: Great iron, easy to use, large water tank and long flex. - I was very pleased to find this iron as an excellent replacement for my previous Tefal ultraglide which I've had for over 10 years. It is reasonably lightweight, heats up quickly and the difference in the cool and hot settings is noticeable. Water tank is quite large so even with steam facility you don't have to refill often during a huge ironing session. The flex is very long which would be helpful if your plug socket isn't as close as you would like it to be. Great iron at a very good price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best iron I've ever owned, and the cheapest.
*by S***S on 13 July 2019*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great iron, easy to use, large water tank and long flex.
*by A***Y on 10 April 2020*

I was very pleased to find this iron as an excellent replacement for my previous Tefal ultraglide which I've had for over 10 years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light, effective iron with safety cut-out.
*by J***E on 7 May 2017*

This iron is more light-weight than I'd expected. I prefer a solidly heavy-weight iron, at least I'm holding onto that notion for as long as I can. However for anyone seeking a non-heavy but brilliant iron this would be the one! It is very stable when sitting upended on its erm, back side, it does not wobble or topple at all. It irons very effectively, I think by using major steam power (just have a top-up jug to hand if doing lots of ironing), which is no problem & offsets the lighter weight. The dial is clear, comprehensive and easy to use, although I would like a linen setting - I'll just use the very top cotton one when we get to summer. It has a cord clip - yay! I LOVE the cut-off feature and don't understand why all modern irons don't have this - very reassuring if like me you're frequently troubled by "did I leave the iron on?" doubts (my mind is usually elsewhere concentrating on other matters besides ironing). The soleplate is a lovely quality ceramic non-gunky type and it irons around buttons really well.
