Impressed for price. - I wasn't sure quite what to expect from this iron, due to it's price and I never had a Tower iron before. However, as my 19 year old Phillips finally died yesterday, I ordered this. It is lightweight, especially compared to my old iron. It also has a ceramic sole plate. I have always had stainless steel sole plates. I read the book, filled it up and switched it on. It was easy to fill. First obstacle overcome!!!!! It was quick to heat up to cottons setting. It passed that test!!!!! Now for the real test........a pile of, some quite crushed, and some heavy, ironing which had to be abandoned yesterday!!!!!! My husband's very crushed Egyptian cotton shirt it sailed over!!!!! I was impressed. Given the weight of it, I wasn't sure it would cope but it did a better job than my old friend and the ceramic sole plate meant it just glided over the fabric. Lovely!!!!!! The jeans were a doddle. A wee blast of steam on my husband's favourite cargo pants, which are a nightmare to iron as a rule and they were done. Now, up the temperature for my linen skirts!!!! One had been crushed in the wardrobe but, a wee spray and it was done. The rest was easy. I have to say, I used the iron corded. I like being able to lock the base onto the iron. The shorter cable is not an issue for me, in fact, my old iron, I was always standing on the cable and pulling the plug out!!!!!! I iron in the bedroom, right beside a socket so it was perfect. If I was ironing something intricate, I would use it cordless but, as there is no weight to it, corded was easier. I was dubious about this iron but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, it is easier to use than many, much more expensive ones and I cannot warrant £80+ on an iron, sorry, my money is needed elsewhere!!!!! Well done Tower on this wee gem. I am so glad I bought it although, I doubt if I will get 19 years from this one, or any other on the market these days!!!!!!!!!!! I am happy with what I have though. Review: Excellent iron at a great price - Got this in rose gold and black, looks really nice. Heats up really quickly and has a large capacity water tank with a good size water jug to fill it. I use it as cordless to avoid tangles and it’s made ironing a breeze! It feels lightweight and comfortable to hold but with a little weight to put pressure on to help with creases. Has a steam burst and water jet also. I put it on stand while I’m rearranging the clothes and it keeps the heat constant. So far so good. ## Features - CORD/CORDLESS IRONING: Operate corded or completely cord free for unrestricted movement as you iron - CERAGLIDE PERFORMANCE: Multi-layered ceramic soleplate provides a smooth and easy glide for perfectly straight, crease free results - LONG LIFE SPAN: Anti-drip, anti-calc and self-cleaning functions ensure the iron is well maintained by removing limescale, offering a longer lifespan - 360ML WATER TANK: The large capacity water tank is great for bigger loads of laundry, reducing the need for constant refills - 3 YEAR GUARANTEE: Trusted Tower quality with a standard 1 year guarantee and optional 2 year extension, subject to product registration online ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B12SYMM | | Base Material | Ceramic | | Best Sellers Rank | 864 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 7 in Steam Irons | | Brand | Tower | | Brand Name | Tower | | Colour | Purple | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 17,782 Reviews | | Frequency | 50 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05056032929821 | | Included Components | Base, Instruction manual, Steam iron | | Item Dimensions L x W | 31L x 12W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Tower T22008 Cord Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate, Self Cleaning, 2400 W, Purple | | Item Weight | 1.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Tower | | Manufacturer Contact Information | RKW Ltd, Berryhill Road, Stoke on Trent, ST4 2NL | | Model Name | Tower T22008 | | Model Number | T22008 | | Model Year | 2020 | | Part Number | T22008 | | Product dimensions | 31L x 12W centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Indoor | | Recommended uses for product | Indoor | | Special Features | Cordless | | Special feature | Cordless | | Style | Cordless | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 240 Volts | | Wattage | 2400 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tower - **Colour:** Purple - **Product dimensions:** 31L x 12W centimetres - **Special feature:** Cordless - **Wattage:** 2400 watts ## Images ![T22008 CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, 2400 W, Purple - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XCs97uHrL.jpg) ![T22008 CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, 2400 W, Purple - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rwDNcVi0L.jpg) ![T22008 CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, 2400 W, Purple - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71i0YfVcmRL.jpg) ![T22008 CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, 2400 W, Purple - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816HLwp+0FL.jpg) ![T22008 CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, 2400 W, Purple - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BYa-EkVlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be permanatly left strored on the charging plate without it heating up?** A: Do you mean when not in use? If so then yes. It only heats up when plugged in and whilst plugged in needs to keep going back on the stand to reheat. It can’t heat independently **Q: How can u tell when the iron is charged for cordless use?** A: It doesn't charge, it heats up, exactly like a corded iron, but then you can detach the iron from the base, and use it for up to a minute, it will cool down, so need to be re-heated. **Q: What kind of ironing board does this work with? So the base is stable.** A: Hi, There is not a specific ironing board for the 2-in-1 Iron as most boards are suitable. The base will be stable as long as the ironing board itself is stable. I hope this helps. **Q: How long can i use the iron for before recharging please?** A: Not long at all. I couldn't do one shirt without replacing on base several times. I sent mine back. Not a good iron. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight but efficient.

So far so good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great iron, if you understand what it offers *by T***M on 23 June 2021* I have noticed a lot of reviewers here are basing them on misconceptions of the product. The iron offers a cordless option, i.e an option to effectively detach the power source (cord) while you iron. It does NOT have a battery that must be “charged” - any generation of heat occurs whilst the iron is on the dock and plugged in. An iron draws a lot of power and any battery big enough to hold a sufficient amount of charge and small and light enough for the iron would make this a lot more than £20. This works on the principle that the iron will retain a lot of its heat between lifting it off and placing it back on the dock (similar to a storage heater), just as a regular iron cycles on and off - heating up, and when it is up to temperature the power is removed until the temperature drops below a certain point, and it is then heated up again. You end up with variation in temperature within prescribed limits. In this vain, don’t expect to be able to charge up the iron and then use it for an hour before charging it up again. It is designed to be lifted off the dock when up to temperature, used to iron the garment, and placed back on the dock while adjusting the garment and changing it (any time the iron is not actually ironing). That said, this works well. The iron retains heat for long enough to iron an ironing-board-area of garment before being re-heated, and it’s really convenient not having the cord. The dock can be clipped on and it used as a regular iron, for really big items where you might not want to keep docking it, or where a constantly high temperature is needed. The iron feels solid and well made, pretty lightweight but also weighty enough to make ironing comfortable, and it glides easily. One star dropped as I have noticed with the steam on it does drip a fair amount of water too (even on max temperature and half steam selected), the steam smells a bit odd even after a few uses, and I feel the principle of the cordless system could be clearer in the marketing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tower T22008 CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, 2400 W, Purple - Comfort Vaporesse Fresh Sky Ironing Water prevents limescale and gives your laundry a fresh, uplifting fragrance and long-lasting freshness for easy ironing 1 L --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/61377071-t22008-ceraglide-cordless-steam-iron-with-ceramic-soleplate-and-variable](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/61377071-t22008-ceraglide-cordless-steam-iron-with-ceramic-soleplate-and-variable) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
