Anti-scale: Most modern steam and steam generator irons come with both anti-scale and anti-calcium functions, helping to limit the formation of limescale over time, which can clog the steam vents. These are particularly important if you live in a hard water area. The water tank holds a good amount of water which means you are not constantly filling it up, and I can get a reasonable amount of ironing done on a medium size pile of clothes.before I need to refill. A great improvement on my last steam iron which I was constantly having to top up on during the ironing. Before buying any new Steam Iron, you should look for a few factors that can help you choose the right steam generator iron for your laundry needs. Auto-off: Most of these Bosch steam generator iron models come with this auto-off feature. The auto-off feature makes your iron go-to standby mode when it is not in use.

The water tank is a good size, although the holes to empty it are a little small. The scale collector and anti-drip features help keep limescale out of your iron and off your clothes, and the Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate is particularly smooth, gliding over clothes with minimal effort. The cord is also a decent length, although we do wish it could fold away completely under the iron – a minor quibble with an iron that’s a pleasure to use and does a spectacular job. It’s hugely powerful, too. This model produces a constant 165g of steam per minute, while its boost function (activated by double-tapping the finger trigger) ups that to a mind-boggling 600g/min – ideal for dealing with heavily creased fabrics such as starched linen. The removable water tank has a substantial 1.8l capacity and an easy-to-use anti-calc system means you can fill it with regular tap water: to clear out the limescale, you simply unscrew the rear cap and pour away the cloudy contents. Tefal’s Pro Vision Express is expensive but if you’ve got a big family or lots of ironing to get through, you’ll love what light work it makes of everything. This is an extraordinarily powerful iron that glides through any fabric with ease. AntiShine – This function is a special protection function that protects fabrics that are heat-sensitive and dark.Auto switch-off: Does the thought of accidentally leaving your iron on send shivers down your spine?

The i-Temp setting offers a one-temperature setting for all fabrics, which means you don’t need to change the temperature setting for different fabric materials.

The iron produces an impressive 180g of steam a minute, with a whopping 750g/min steam shot to remove stubborn creases. And you can also steam vertically, as you would expect from a premium model. Contains traditional temperature settings and also a single temperature setting to match all fabrics Intelligent temperature setting: Ironing is done using a machine, generally an iron, and a heated tool, to get wrinkles out from the fabric.

Periodic descaling is performed by unscrewing a tab and pouring the limescale contents into a sink. Tank capacity: The bigger the tank, the fewer times you’ll have to refill your iron mid-use. Our recommended steam generator irons have tank capacities varying from 1.2 to 2.2 litres. There’s no ideal capacity, though – your choice will largely depend on the size of your ironing pile. Continuous steam pressure: Constant steam pressure is measured in grams, and the steam iron works efficiently if the steam pressure is higher. Above 50g/min steam rate is considered high for any steam iron. From a user experience point of view, the Rowenta excels. The hand unit is quite small and it doesn’t feel too heavy, while the stainless steel soleplate and contoured tip make light work of anything you throw at it. If you know your cottons from your synthetics, the Rowenta is a strong choice: it’s compact, light, efficient and very quiet.Bosch TDS8040GB is designed with a perfectly coordinated ironing program that offers amazing ironing results There are two types of steam generator iron: non-pressurised and pressurised. Non-pressurised models work in a similar way to regular steam irons, but their steam output is much higher. Pressurised models are ideal for the most stubborn of creases, as they have boilers that force steam out more powerfully and can penetrate fabric more deeply. The pressure level is measured in bars and generally ranges from 5 to 8.

It heats up in just 60 seconds and offers 90g/min of continuous steam, along with a steam shot for the more stubborn creases.

If you live in a hard water area, limescale can be a real issue for your appliances. Fortunately, the Russell Hobbs iron has a calc cleaning system inside the filters, which helps to purify the water on its way to the tank, and this helps enormously with preventing limescale build-up. Combined with the anti-scale and anti-drip features, this iron copes really well with hard water and limescale build-up. The only niggle with this iron was that the stainless steel soleplate isn’t quite as smooth as a ceramic option. The Philips’ futuristic hand unit is as light as a feather and beautifully fits the contours of the hand. Its T-ionicGlide soleplate, meanwhile, floats over even the most obstreperous fabric like a curling stone on an ice rink. Anti-drip: Anti-drip technology stops staining your fabric with watermarks even when it is at a low temperature. The water gets cut off automatically when the temperature of your iron is not enough to produce steam, and this feature stops dripping water from the soleplate.

Calc’n’Cleans is a perfect and very efficient cleaning system that provides perfect cleaning solutions for both iron and steam station. Tower’s steam generator iron isn’t as powerful as its competitors on this list, only able to offer 80g/min of continuous steam. However, we found that it was still able to produce plenty of steam, and made light work of heavier creases with the added steam shot. That said, you can’t use continuous steam for more than about 15 seconds before the iron starts to splutter a little, so do bear this in mind.
