chooklady Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I desperately need a new iron. I want a good one that is going to make my ironing easier as I hate doing it and the one I have is old and doesn't work very well. I have been ironing today since 11.30 am and have just finished so I thought I deserved a sit down with a sandwich and a cup of tea and the omlet forum. Does anyone have an iron they could recommend? Many thanks Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 no sorry but am after a good one myself (not too expensive) as ours spits yucky water at our clothes at unfortunate moments!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have a darn good one from Aldi, it's a steam generator one with one of those large water tanks. They cut ironing time in half. Argos do some good ones too. My mum has one from Argos & dad did a bit of ironing the other day & loved the iron. Bless him! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This will be my next one Tefal FV5260 as according to Which? who I subscribed to for a short while it was a very good one. However, if someone has this and has problems with it please let me know. I have gone through so many irons, I am considering getting an old fashioned one and just spraying the clothes with water.

Old Speckled Hen Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 There was a thread here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=40310&hilit=steam+generator that was very useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Whatever brand you go for, get a steam generator type iron. Thet do the job in half the time and twice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooklady Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thankyou, I'd almost forgotten I'd posted this. I will have a look at the steam generator type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
