Tower T22008 CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, 2400 W, Purple

I wasn't sure quite what to expect from this iron, due to it's price and I never had a Tower iron before. However, as my 19 year old Phillips finally died yesterday, I ordered this. It is lightweight, especially compared to my old iron. It also has a ceramic sole plate. I have always had stainless steel sole plates. I read the book, filled it up and switched it on. It was easy to fill. First obstacle overcome!!!!! It was quick to heat up to cottons setting. It passed that test!!!!! Now for the real test........a pile of, some quite crushed, and some heavy, ironing which had to be abandoned yesterday!!!!!! My husband's very crushed Egyptian cotton shirt it sailed over!!!!! I was impressed. Given the weight of it, I wasn't sure it would cope but it did a better job than my old friend and the ceramic sole plate meant it just glided over the fabric. Lovely!!!!!! The jeans were a doddle. A wee blast of steam on my husband's favourite cargo pants, which are a nightmare to iron as a rule and they were done. Now, up the temperature for my linen skirts!!!! One had been crushed in the wardrobe but, a wee spray and it was done. The rest was easy. I have to say, I used the iron corded. I like being able to lock the base onto the iron. The shorter cable is not an issue for me, in fact, my old iron, I was always standing on the cable and pulling the plug out!!!!!! I iron in the bedroom, right beside a socket so it was perfect. If I was ironing something intricate, I would use it cordless but, as there is no weight to it, corded was easier. I was dubious about this iron but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, it is easier to use than many, much more expensive ones and I cannot warrant £80+ on an iron, sorry, my money is needed elsewhere!!!!! Well done Tower on this wee gem. I am so glad I bought it although, I doubt if I will get 19 years from this one, or any other on the market these days!!!!!!!!!!! I am happy with what I have though.

Got this in rose gold and black, looks really nice. Heats up really quickly and has a large capacity water tank with a good size water jug to fill it. I use it as cordless to avoid tangles and it’s made ironing a breeze! It feels lightweight and comfortable to hold but with a little weight to put pressure on to help with creases. Has a steam burst and water jet also. I put it on stand while I’m rearranging the clothes and it keeps the heat constant. So far so good.

I have noticed a lot of reviewers here are basing them on misconceptions of the product. The iron offers a cordless option, i.e an option to effectively detach the power source (cord) while you iron. It does NOT have a battery that must be “charged” - any generation of heat occurs whilst the iron is on the dock and plugged in. An iron draws a lot of power and any battery big enough to hold a sufficient amount of charge and small and light enough for the iron would make this a lot more than £20. This works on the principle that the iron will retain a lot of its heat between lifting it off and placing it back on the dock (similar to a storage heater), just as a regular iron cycles on and off - heating up, and when it is up to temperature the power is removed until the temperature drops below a certain point, and it is then heated up again. You end up with variation in temperature within prescribed limits. In this vain, don’t expect to be able to charge up the iron and then use it for an hour before charging it up again. It is designed to be lifted off the dock when up to temperature, used to iron the garment, and placed back on the dock while adjusting the garment and changing it (any time the iron is not actually ironing). That said, this works well. The iron retains heat for long enough to iron an ironing-board-area of garment before being re-heated, and it’s really convenient not having the cord. The dock can be clipped on and it used as a regular iron, for really big items where you might not want to keep docking it, or where a constantly high temperature is needed. The iron feels solid and well made, pretty lightweight but also weighty enough to make ironing comfortable, and it glides easily. One star dropped as I have noticed with the steam on it does drip a fair amount of water too (even on max temperature and half steam selected), the steam smells a bit odd even after a few uses, and I feel the principle of the cordless system could be clearer in the marketing.

Well I suppose reviews are opinions but having fought with my corded iron and very old ironing board bought this and what a time saver. You naturally have to put down a conventional iron at times but as an elderly man with tons of ironing experience this is a good iron. Place it near your board and replace often until base light goes out which is super quick. Good brand yes it will spit if you leave it to go to cold so timing is essential, good price very good kit

Does everything it’s supposed to do, heating and steam wise. Lovely and light, easy to glide and a really great price.

Just used the iron for the first time and I am really pleased. It’s light but iron’s beautifully. Easy to switch from cordless to corded. Fast charge up so as you put it back onto the base to move the clothing around on your ironing board its charged up again. Temp controls etc just like any other steam iron. Cord length isn’t very long but I iron next to the socket so that doesn’t concern me. When in cordless use you wouldn’t need a long cable anyway. It has a large water tank capacity. Really happy with this iron especially considering the price as it’s such good value.

Its pretty good at ironing but what annoys me is you cant just lift it off the base. It sticks so you need to pick it up with one hand and hold the base down with the other. For the price though its ok

I find it cools down pretty quickly when not linked to the Charing dock but works well when it is.

A "brilliant wee iron", or so my wife says anyway! See her in action with the T22008RG CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron from Tower in the attached video :-)

good iron and bauble use

In der Beschreibung steht nichts darüber, dass das Bügeleisen einen englischen Stecker hat. Ich habe es ausgepackt, wieder verpackt und zurückgeschickt. In der Beschreibung steht, dass es sich um ein englisches Design handelt, was für Käufer nicht eindeutig bedeutet, dass sie ein inkompatibles Gerät erhalten. Ich bin enttäuscht.

Perfect iron Exactly what I was expecting it to be I bought another one, for my home, it was this good

Sehr gutes Bügeleisen ohne lästigen Kabelsalat.
