[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially the size of a steam generator iron did put me off slightly, but the perfect care compact plus sits nicely at the end of my ironing board very safely and with no problems at all.
With the school starting up again, I was dreading the piles of shirts, uniforms and everything else that I was going to have to iron every week, but this iron has genuinely made everything so much simpler and faster. I would say it has helped me to cut ironing down by at least a third of the time.
The iron itself is quite light, which helps in speed, but mainly in stopping achy arms and wrist when ironing for such a long time. I love the fact that I can leave the iron on the ironing board and not worry about anything burning whilst I hang clothes in between, and the self descaling feature is brilliant. It is so simple and quick.
The only downside I have to the iron, is the locking button which locks the iron to the base. As the button is so near to the tip of the iron it isn’t always possible to click it down carefully until the iron has fully cooled. Apart from that this for me is the perfect iron.
