Steam iron deals
A traditional steam iron comes with a built-in water tank and uses steam to relax the fabric and get rid of creases. The higher the steam output, the more powerful its de-creasing abilities will be.
Prices can start from as little as £10, and we’ve found plenty of top-performers for under £50.

Score: 81/100

As a cordless model, this Morphy Richards steam iron removes the faff of dealing with wires but does limit your ironing time, as you will need to recharge frequently. That aside, it heats up rapidly and all the controls are easy and intuitive to use.
Steam generator deals
Steam generator irons have separate water tanks, so can release more steam at a higher pressure. They’re bigger and bulkier but remove deep creases effectively and iron both sides of the garment at the same time, so you can speed through your laundry pile.
They tend to be more expensive, with the best models ranging between £100 to £300, so it’s worth taking advantage of discounts during sales events like Black Friday.
