Advantages: Comfortable to use, works perfectly.
Disadvantages: Water can sometimes leak
I Brought this Morphy Richards Comfigrip Steam Iron in white on white but I have also seen it in other colours such as green on white and pink on white. I brought it from Argos for £25 and it came with a water beaker but am assuming that this was the sale price as it is retailed on the Morphy Richards website for £54.99. The price I purchased it for is incedibly good value for money but I would not have been happy paying the full £54.99 so if you can get it for somewhere inbetween that then you've done well :)
The iron is made from a few different materials, the casing is plastic, there is a softer material around the handle (I am unsure what it is actually called) and then there is another plastic for the water level window. The soleplate is ceramic and it obviously will get very hot.
This is not a cordless iron although as the cord is 2m this isnt really a problem. It has a wattage of 2200 and boasts features such as a vertical steam output of 40g per minimum, a tip technology steam shot of 110g maximum (this means the steam can get into any akward spaces) anti-scale technology, No drip technology, an anti-Calc system and variable steam settings.
The iron itself is incredibly easy to use and has a 420ml water tank meaning that you won't be constantly having to refill it. It heats to the tempreture you have set it to in about a minute so it is very fast.
Clothes are always perfectly ironed when I use this, even when I begin to get lazy and put in minimum effort, I can just glide it across the top of clothes and it still works perfectly. The only small criticism I have with it is the fact that if you don't turn it off before you put some more water in the water will begin to come through the holes in the iron which can sometimes make a mess if you are not expecting it.
It really is a very good iron and I will hopefully be able to continue using it for a while yet, this seems likely as even after the couple of years I have had it there still doesnt seem to be a hint of a problem. The iron itself can be wiped clean with a cloth and any limescale or mess on the soleplate can be removed very quickly with a limescale cleaner or sometimes just a cloth although you should obviously wait until it has cooled down before attempting to clean the soleplate :)
Summary: Definetly recommed this
