steam generator irons - will it change my life???

[chocbutton]

I hate ironing (who doesn't) but will an expensive new steam generator thingy make it all better or will I just be gutted I've spent nearly £100??? are they as good as they say they are??

Hi chocbutton - I have got one and bloody hell I love it,,,,, I am no fan of ironing but I do like to have ironed sheets, baby clothes etc and I even iron muslins (it just feels nice). My mum got one and after using hers I came home, used my old iron and HATED it.... Have since upgraded to a Tefal steam one and it halves the amount of time ironing, it gets tough creases out etc. god iron geek here! I can't remember the model of mine - but make sure you get a decent reservoir to hold the water, make sure you can fill up the water half way through - and my `tefal heats up in 2mins. SO by the time you have set everything up and been to the loo or poked the baby - it is ready to go. Do it I say - let me know what you think too (and I DON'T have shares in Tefal either!)

so glad you posted! I went mad the other day and ordered a phillips one - it is coming on Tuesday so wanted to make sure I hadn't made a big mistake.
BTW I also iron muslins - they do feel nicer!
will let you know how i get one, roll on tuesday! (i have never been excited about ironing before)

They really do cut your ironing time dramatically.

Get one get one get one get one! I love mine to pieces!! Kelkoo them though-they vary wildly in price!! xxx

go chocbutton - you will never look back! (I was so excited when I got mine and I get the impression that Feelingbetterslowly was too!)

They are v.good.

Yes yes yes yes

Mine has changed my life. I hated ironing with a passion and now I quite look forward to it. [Stepford Wife Emoticon]

LittleBella you are not alone - my friend ridicules me and says I couldn't afford to go back to work as I would need to send all my ironing out to keep up!

well i am now even more excited about my new iron coming tomorrow! who'd have thought it!
Will update you all with news of my freshly pressed clothes and bedding tomorrow night

just a quick post to say I am a convert to the power of the steam generator! really quick and easy and you do only have to iron one side (although I keep doing the other side out of habit)
hurray, so glad I bought it , I really do think this will make a huge difference to my free time and I am not exaggerating! I hate ironing with a passion but cannot bear to have creased clothes/bedding, so always feel snowed under with a pile of the damn stuff! go and get one everyone!
