Score 8.0/10

+ Good heat control & ease of ironing

- flex entry point to iron is too stiff & poorly positioned so that it sometimes prevents easy standing of iron in upright position

+ A nice heavy iron, like they used to be, with a huge water resevoir, and a nice long lead.

- The weight does take some getting used to.

+ Good price and looks
Trusted manufacturer

- Quite a heavy item.
Would like to see a similar model which was "cordless" at or near to the price of this one.

Product Features

Limescale Prevention	Yes
An anti-scale feature prevents limescale build up meaning your iron performs better over a longer period of time.
Vertical Steam Shot	Yes
Vertical steaming means you don’t have to use an ironing board. You can hold your iron vertically to spruce up your hanging suits or curtains using the sertical steam shot.
Auto Shut Off	No
Auto Shut Off products will turn themselves off after a short period not in use. This is a great safety feature.
Water Spray	Yes
Water Spray helps you remove stubborn creases by dampening them before you iron to maximise the effect of the soleplate’s heat.
Cordless	No
Travel Iron	No
Travel irons are lighter and smaller than a normal iron. They are generally less powerful too. They frequently have fold-down handles to help you squeeze them into that already fit-to-burst suitcase.
Power (W)	2000
Steam Rate (g/min)	30
The steam rate relates to how powerfully the iron can emit steam. Measured in grams, the higher the number, the better at ironing stubborn creases or curtains your iron will be.
Type of Soleplate	Stainless Steel
The soleplate is the element of the iron that heats up to iron your clothes. Normally irons have a stainless steel soleplate but some come with a ceramic soleplate that is non-stick and helps your iron glide more smoothly over your ironing.
Steam Setting	Steamshot and Spray
Some irons have a direct, focused jet of steam, allowing you to concentrate on tough creases. Other irons have a spray of steam for general ironing. Some irons combine both Steam Shot and Spray, allowing you more flexibility as you iron.
Self Cleaning	Yes
Self-cleaning ovens can come with catalytic liners or pyrolytic programmes. Calalytic liners are the bumpy surfaces which line the inside walls of the oven. They absorb the food and grease and break it down so that the oven is easier to clean. Pyrolytic programmes run for a couple of hours and burn off all the grime in your oven at temperatures up to 500°C. As it gets so hot, the oven door usually locks so that all you need to do is sweep up the ash that’s left over at the end.
Release Date	20 Mar 2007
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
Cork Handle	No
Drip Stop	Yes
Removable Tank	No
Type	Steam

Power	2000
