So my steam iron has given up and I need a new one. Can anyone recommend a good one that doesn’t cost the earth. Thanks

I’m enjoying Murphy Richards Powersteam Elite LED Steam Iron, Non Stick Ceramic Soleplate, 35g Output, Vertical option, Self Clean, as it it s got an auto off switch which means if I forget the house won’t burn down.. plus it’s heavy, so less pressing. My husband got one that detaches from the base and it’s so light that I spend time doing a lot more rubbing back and forwards… like I like a heavier iron
