This 2500W iron had a variable steam output of 40g per min and a 150g per minute steam boost function. Designed to be durable and easy to navigate around tricky areas (such as buttons, pleats and cuffs), it has a durilium soleplate and precision tip.

It also includes a calcium collector, descaling system and auto cut-out, which switches the iron off when it's left resting for 30 seconds.

GHI EXPERT VERDICT

This high-scoring iron performed well in most tasks. It's well designed, easy to use and removed creases well.

The water spray and steam shot were powerful and very responsive. We'd say that it's a worthwhile investment for those who live in a hard water area, as both the calcium collector and descaling system were very effective. The scale collector was also easy to remove and clean, and the auto cut-out is a great safety precaution. While it's lightweight, some felt that the handle wasn't the most comfortable.
