Steam Generator Iron Buying Advice

When steam generator irons first came out, they were extremely expensive. Many of the models still are. On this page we just looked at those under £100 to try and make things easier for our readers. We have also provided some buying tips below.

Check in Other Stores

We know from our research that in most cases buying online is going to be your cheapest option. However, we have seen a few models in stores such as TK Maxx. That of course can be a bit of a hit and miss, but it is always worth keeping an eye out.

Buying a Used or Second Hand Iron

There is always the option to buy a used or second hand steam generator iron. Like anything though, there is a risk with buying off stores such as eBay, or even buying from online places like Facebook Buy and Sell or Gumtree.

It is always going to be a buyer be aware situation, but you can pick up items received as a gift and the person no longer requires that. It is a bit of a hit and miss though.

Black Friday and Sales Offers

There is always the option to wait on a Black Friday or special offers, though that does take a lot of research and patience.

  • Currys - they sell Tefal, Philips, Beldray, Russell Hobbs, Morphy Richards, Braun, Tower, Breville, Rowenta, Beko, Laurastar and Daewoo
