Gail, Dunbar busy mum endless laundry

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: It does what an iron is supposed to do. Good on denims etc.

Has a good size water reservoir which saves refilling as often.

Has gel grips so your hand is cushioned when ironing.
Bad points:: Having to buy filters.

Can be a bit cumbersome to move after use, as it is still very hot.

Bev, Bromsgrove pushed for time mum

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Great big water chamber so powers through a whole pile without refilling. Iron is very light but loads of steam power, so no arm or back ache. Quick to set up & use. Very happy with it. Loved by all the family.
Bad points:: Base is too big to sit safely on my board, so have to stand on table next to the ironing board, so the flex from the base to the iron could be a little longer.
