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

This iron is great not to heavy and very quick to heat up, perfect iron.

Like many of the population I have over the years used many irons and I believe I can consider a good one from bad etc. This one ticks all the boxes for me...I have a main generator iron for the home but needed to replace my regular iron for my sewing room. Although 'only' an iron, along with obviously the iron working how I need it to, I also look at aesthetics and how I think the iron would feel to actually use; I also wanted a cordless iron. I had expected to pay a lot more for a cordless iron...a good cordless iron but I have to say that I am very pleased indeed with this one. I love the colour and the feel of the iron and it works exactly as it should. I love the shape and the fact that the edge of the iron gets hot too for tight spots (in between buttons etc). It is very simple to use and to fill with water, there is a lock switch for switching from cordless to locked and both feel great when using. When the iron is locked, the iron feels really nicely substantial which I like and if I need to use cordless than that is great. Obviously if you are ironing a lot of clothing you would get best results from using the iron locked to maintain the heat but it also holds enough heat for me when ironing my pieces of fabric cut outs etc. Overall I say this is a great cordless iron at a great price...others are around £20 more: albeit branded irons but I'm confident that this iron is more than adequate to compete with the higher priced ones. Certainly recommended and how can you go wrong with such a great price point too. If you are not used to this brand...neither am I as probably the first time I have used a Tower iron, give it a go, I don't think you will be disappointed.

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.

So glad I came across the Tower steam iron. Nice to handle, not too heavy. Ever so easy to fill up with water and doesn’t use the water up too quickly. Nice design plate runs smoothly. Heat is charged up every time you put cordless iron back in its stand, doesn’t take too long. Only niggle is, I don’t think it heats up as hot as my old iron, but it does the job and is so much easier without a cord. Good price paid and I would buy another one.

Brilliant iron easy to use and works well . Would recommend it . Easy to fill water tank, heats up quick ,easy to change to different setting , can use with or with out the cable just slide the button .

A big step up from my old corded iron. have noticed that since they started wrapping the wires on the cords with some sort of fire resistant fabric, the cord gets more and more twisted, and eventually it, and the wires within, wear through. I bought this Tower Cordless because the price was very favourable for an iron which previously got an award. It is great. Heats up really quickly, gets properly hot, and glides over the clothes. It is also light. Storing on my wall rack, but not winding the cord in, as that could cause it to go the same way as the old cord. Easily stands in the charger, and does not require you to put the holding switch on every time, as some have said. Delighted with my purchase, and I am a fussy and experienced ironing person, The manufacturers three year guarantee is a big plus too!
