chocccie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I want to buy a new ironing system and plan on spending up to 250 euros. Cora have lots in stock, Rowenta, Phillips, etc. Does anyone have a particular recommendation please?I've posted this in B&B as I'm sure some of you have lots of ironing to do!Thanks [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I bought a "générateur vapeur" (2300 W) from Lidl a couple of years ago for abour €70 and I'm very happy with it.But maybe you mean a "centrale de repassage" or a "presse de repassage"?Comparison sites worth visiting: www.pricerunner.fr or www.armenager.comA consumers magazine reviewed some in March and the article can be bought online for €2 here: www.60millions-mag.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocccie Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 It's not a roller blind I'm after ... I want an ironing system - which a heating/water chamber which the iron slots onto .

Looks exactly like what Clair was suggesting, to me.[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocccie Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm looking for recommendations for specific made and models of ironing systems - an example of which was on the link Clair kindly posted.I've no experience with this type of system, though I've heard lots of good reports of them .. the most expensive iron I've ever bought in the past was 50 euros!

Clair Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I am perfectly satisfied with the Lidl one I bought, as shown here: SGR-PRO-K122I would advise you to check on a few things before making a decision:power (2300W for the K122 ): this will determine how much electricity it uses but also how quickly it will get to temperaturetank capacity (0.75l for the K122): a small tank will need filling up more often, which gets really annoying when you are in the middle of a pile of sheetssteam flow (up to 180 g/mn): the higher, the better as it allows the steam to penetrate several layers (2 trouser legs or a folded sheet in one go)steam regulation (to 4.5 bars for the K122): delicate items need a very light cloud of steam but cotton sheets or jeans need a good blastHard water is another thing to look at.Expect it to be much eavier than a traditional steam ironso try to handle one before buying.

Russethouse Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have a Tefal Pro Express but I bought it in the UK. I suspect it would be at the top of your range, but I am please with it. Hard water shouldn't be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
