Just ordered one of these - reduced from £129.99 to £32.50 and with free delivery!

Been after one of these steam generators for ages but the cheapest I could ever find was about £80!

Blimey, that is a bargain - do you think it's just because it's pink? Is there a law that irons have to be green, blue or white?

TequilaMockinBird · 25/05/2008 13:23

It probably is because it's pink - the other ones in different colours haven't been reduced as far as I can see.

I might be on my own with this but I actually quite like the pink

Oh Brilliant thanks, just ordered one. Been desperate for a new iron for my work shirts.

TurkeyLurkey · 25/05/2008 17:20

They charged me for delivery though....

TurkeyLurkey · 25/05/2008 17:22

Ignore me, they didn't..it was the VAT.....

NoLongerMyFirstPost · 25/05/2008 17:56

Thanks Tequila, I've just ordered one too!

procrastinatingparent · 25/05/2008 18:01

Thank you - there should be one winging its way to me as I write (Bank Holidays permitting, of course).

SparklyGothKat · 25/05/2008 20:59

I brought one, I rarely iron but anything that helps get through it quicker eh!

Beauregard · 25/05/2008 21:14

just ordered 2(1 for my mom) thanks x

WendyWeber · 25/05/2008 21:19

I hardly ever iron and one of the (many) things that stops me is the shortcord on the iron plus lack of accessible sockets - is this thing cordfree while you're ironing?

TequilaMockinBird · 25/05/2008 22:23

No Wendy I dont think it is cordfree unfortunately

However, I did buy a new ironing board from Tesco a couple of weeks ago at a reduced price of £16.64. It has a power socket underneath the ironing board where you can plug your iron in, and then an extension lead runs from the ironing board to the mains socket! I thought it was a fab idea because, like you, I always had difficulty with a short iron cord!

HTH

Oh, wow, that is a brilliant idea, TMB - thanks! I'll look out for one of those

TequilaMockinBird · 25/05/2008 22:30

this is it - full price online but was reduced in store

I love it being pink, especially with that price.

Aptly I read this post at the weekend, closely followed with our iron giving up and DH currently doing overtime equals us spurgling on a new iron.

I really hope it works well, I am a bit scared of steam generators tanks full of boiling water but I have heard good things about these style of irons.

Pippo · 27/05/2008 19:12

Ive got one of these irons and can vouch for it - it is very good - make sure that you have a mesh type ironing board tho' otherwise you will end up with soggy clothes

lulumama · 27/05/2008 19:16

just ordered one as our iron has given up the ghost. thanks

RustyBear · 27/05/2008 19:17

All the better to burn you with lulu!

Be careful!

sweetkitty · 27/05/2008 19:23

Just ordered one as well, our old iron only has one setting that will work.

Is it very sad to get excited about a new iron?

RipMacWinkle · 27/05/2008 19:25

Brilliant Tequila - have ordered one too.

Have been wanting to try one of the steam generator types for ages but couldn't justify the cost.

Thanks!

BabiesEverywhere · 27/05/2008 19:25

LOL, I hope not, I can't wait until mine arrives.

Though I am now worrying if my ironing board is a mesh type or not...off to check.
