The steam on my iron has packed up so I decided to look for a new one. I don't need one of the fancy ones with the huge water containers - just something that steams when I want it to. I have looked at several and the instructions drive me mad - with little diagrams with ticks and crosses for OK and not OK - a bit like looking at one of those competitions for " spot the difference". Makes choice difficult. Any recommendations on a reasonably priced iron - preferably with written instructions?!

Try tefal and make sure you look for the highest wattage.

I tend to go for the one that was v expensive, but now is dramatically reduced, in Currys!
They all seem to have a life of about 5 years!

I bought an excellent one from Lidl (cordless, changed my life) smile for 14.99 some years ago. Don't know what I'll do when it packs up.

Thanks, there are some currently reduced in Robert Dyas - I like the idea of a cordless! Will investigate further.
