This article reviews several steam iron models, focusing on their ease of use, price, and performance. The author compares features like water tank capacity, steam output, and ironing glide, highlighting both pros and cons of each model. The review also touches on the subjective experience of using each iron, considering factors like weight, size, and overall user-friendliness.
While many believe conventional irons can get outfits looking their best - especially when it comes to shirts and pleats - others see steaming as a quick and simple solution to transform crumpled clothes. While this is the most expensive of the bunch, the Tefal steam generator iron was the easiest to use. It switched on straight away and worked well in both functions - producing steam immediately on the upright steaming setting and gliding effortlessly when switched to ironing.
Handily, you can remove the reservoir from the base unit which the iron sits on - meaning you don’t need to lug the entire thing to the sink to fill it with water. My two complaints are how bulky it is – because in my relatively small flat, I’d have nowhere to store it – and the price seems high. Like the Tefal model, this Tower steam generator iron also has a large water compartment but you have to take the whole thing with you to the sink to fill. For instance, the power sign is green when heating up but red when ready – which I would expect to be the other way around. However, it was smaller than the Tefal and once I got the hang of it, it did steam. It just wasn’t as easy as some of the others. The iron function was more straightforward but I had to make sure it was turned to maximum to get the hardest creases out. Resembling a normal iron, but with a steamer function attached, at one point I was squirted in the eye with – thankfully cold – water. After taking time to heat up, the steam function releases short, sharp bursts of steam. It also became slightly temperamental, giving out sprays of water, and I found it was quite tricky to use. The cheapest of the lot that I put through their paces, the Cosicosy steam iron is marketed as a travel iron and steamer two in one. The iron function was good and glided through most creases, banishing them with ease. While heating up on the steam function, it produced an odd noise that I felt was almost akin to a techno rave. It took ages to get hot enough to produce steam and when it finally did, the plumes were so feeble it was simply not worth the wait. Small and compact, this Beldray offering was really easy to use – a pleasant surprise after the disappointing Cosicosy. Then you press one button and a constant stream of steam comes out – super simple. While it does not have as many settings as the others, the aim is to get rid of creases and that is exactly what this did
