Steam generator iron is dying. Try to fix or replace? With what?

[Honesttodog]

Just had an expensive month and now the bloody iron is dying. Any tips for home repair or shall I start looking at new ones? Ours is big and very noisy, we have the brown calc stuff spurting out occasionally even though we have cleaned it. It also keeps switching itself off.

Any brand recommendations for a new one? I got ours in an Argos sale but nothing on the Argos site looks good - morphy Richard brands seems to break a lot.

what type is it ? ive just ordered a steam generator , never had one before . its a philips . I had a philips steam iron which has been very good for years but have now given it to ds1 for uni . people on here recommended philips or tefal for me .

Mine is a Phillips steam generator.

Anyone else got recommendations?

I had a philips steam generator that blew up and got a bosch to replace it
I think its been upgraded since. I am very pleased with it.
