Russethouse Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I have put this here as I am in the UK however makes etc are fairly similar so you may be able to help.I have decided to buy one of those irons with an external tank for the water, can anyone suggest a good one (or even which one to avoid) my sister says her Iron is noisy - is that a general fault or just the one she has (a Tefal I think) ?

Cassis Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 We did look at these in the (former) Moulinex factory shop just last week but we were put off by the bulk of the apparatus - how to you fit them on the ironing board? Bit of a swine to store and lug in and out as well. Sorry, this isn't much help, is it? [:$]PS If you are ever in Lower Normandy (ok, not likely, but someone else may be) the old Moulinex factory shop at Alençon sells loads of stuff for up to half what it is in the shops - Tefal, Moulinex, Rowenta, Calor, Phillips, Krups, SEB - vacuum cleaners, raclettes, toasters, kettles, pans etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gail Smith Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 For years I had ordinary irons with the usual small resevoir. They always failed before the guarantee ran out and so I would take them back to the shop every 8 months or so and add a little bit of money to the cost and buy a more expensive one. I used to do a lot of ironing in those days so they just wore out. After about 4 years of doing this I was mightily fed up and had just paid well over £100 for the latest iron which after 3 months went wrong. In the end I bit the bullet and paid about £150 and bought a Tefal resevoir iron and it is fantastic. I have had it now for about 6 years and it is so efficient. Loads of steam and the resevoir lasts for at least an hours ironing. I still do a lot of ironing :(Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I can envisage you now in a cloud of steam, Gail. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think ties are for tying trees to stakes - that's what they are for now, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
