A lthough some people enjoy ironing, most of us count it as a tedious household chore, so having an efficient iron to help speed up the process is a must. Depending on your ironing habits, you may prefer a standard steam iron, but if you often have a mountain of clothes and linens to get through, it could be worth investing in a steam generator.

This clever iron doesn’t produce steam, and instead sprays water as a mist, onto the material. Consequently, the soleplate doesn’t require steam holes, and so no limescale can develop here. The soleplate is made of Thermoglass, which is very effective at removing creases, and also transparent, allowing you to see clothes as you iron. The design is easy to move around and store, while it saves on both energy and water usage.
