As is the case with most steam generator models in the Philips range, this one also features the company’s unique “no burn” OptimalTEMP technology. Its T-ionicGlide soleplate, meanwhile, floats over even the most obstreperous fabric like a curling stone on an ice rink. It’s a truly groundbreaking innovation that other manufacturers are only now starting to adopt themselves. Bosch has leveraged decades of experience to develop a range of thoughtfully designed steam generator iron series that truly elevate the experience of ironing.At the touch of a button, the Calc'n Clean feature can prolong the life of your iron by removing and preventing limescale. Large detachable watertank lasts for long ironing and if necessary allows you for comforatable refilling at anytime. You will also need to know your fabrics when using this iron, since you will want to dial the right steam selection setting on the rear of the base unit and set the right fabric type on the iron itself.

Although we wouldn’t advise it, you can also leave it face down on a silk blouse and it won’t burn a dirty great hole in it. It’s also one of the lighter steam generator irons we tested, along with the Tower, and has a long cable meaning you can even place the tank on the floor while you iron. Bosch steam generator irons have innovative technology combined with eco-friendly credentials, meaning you save energy while still getting the best results. Make sure you get a good idea of the size of appliance you’re looking for as you can probably imagine Freestanding Small Appliances can vary in sizes quite a lot.

I give it 10 out of 10 for looks alone - it is a sleek, wonderfully designed iron that is easy to use. If your heart is set on a steam generator iron, but you lack the budget for the more expensive irons on our list, the Tower iron could be the solution. They mention that it produces excellent crease-free results, it is easy to use, and produces a lot of steam.
