Went to the Currys store at the Greyhound Ind. Est, near Chester. Our old iron had finally given up and gone to that great scrap yard in the sky. This time I wanted a cordless iron. I think cordless is the way to go for most electrical goods now. Our cordless vacuum cleaner is so easy to use, that I've developed cord phobia.
Saw this iron by Tefal. It was small compared to the other irons on offer. I didn`t want something too heavy. There were no more left on the shelf which is always a good sign, so the assistant quickly got one from the warehouse outback.
It is blue/black in colour, cordless and does both steam and dry ironing. It normally retails at £84.99 but we had it for £55, in a sale. The booklet is easy to understand and setting it up is quick. There will be a slight oily smell for the first few times while using it. This is normal and is just the oil from the manufacturing process burning off. As you use this iron, the base will bleep for you to return the appliance to the charging pad for a few seconds to recharge. You can get a couple of minutes ironing, each time before recharging. It has a nice smoothe gliding action as you iron and is so much easier to iron without the cord attached.
If you are looking for a lightweight, easy glide cordless iron, that does not take up too much room when stored. Then I would definitely recommend this particular model.
