Our steam iron has died and need to replace :-(
Every one I've looked at online has very mixed reviews and lots of complaints of poor longevity.
We don't do a lot of ironing so don't need a steam generator iron, but would ideally like something self-cleaning or with a cleaning reminder function that is fine with tap water.
MNHQ Update
If you’re short on time and have landed here looking for steam iron recommendations, check out our guide to the best steam irons and best steam generator irons - all of which have been tried and tested by real parents.
Here's a quick look at top irons recommended on this thread and elsewhere on Mumsnet:
Tefal SV8154G0 Express Vision Steam Generator Iron
Russell Hobbs Power Steam Ultra Iron
... or if you want to avoid ironing altogether, Mumsnetters swear by Lenor Crease Releaser Spray
We hope this is helpful!
