Advantages: non stick, cheap

Disadvantages: doesn't do ironing for you

After my faithful Morphy Richards finally went to iron heaven after ten years I faced the task of finding another iron. There's loads on the market to choose from ranging from about £10 to over £100. Not wanting to spend alot, anything over £50 and I'd expect it to do the ironing for me and put the clothes away, I settled for the Hinari Lifestyle iron.

Firstly it has a very nice blue non-stick base plate, supposedly so it glides over your clothes but I like it because I have in the past resorted to using a pan scourer to remove the remnants of fabric off the bottoms of irons. I'm not the worlds greatest when it comes to ironing!

The iron has the usual features of dry iron, steam, spray and burst of steam for those stubborn creases (I get lots of those because clothes normally lie on an ironing pile for weeks before I bother with them).

An added feature of the varisteam is its ability to iron in the upright position, for jackets and curtains etc. A piece of advice though, remove the jacket from the persons body first, it's best to put it on a coat-hanger and hang it on a door.

The hole where you add the water has a handy little cover so if you knock the iron over all the water doesn't spill out over your clothes/ironing board/floor.

The iron only costs £12.99 at Argos so I figure even if it only lasts a year it's still good value.
