Fer à Repasser Vapeur Breville TECHnique 2000 VIN124

This is a lovely looking iron which almost makes you forget that you're doing a not so pleasant or eagerly looked forward-to job i.e. tackling the pile of ironing that seems to grow into a mountain overnight! As you can probably tell, ironing is not...

I'll be honest and say that most of this review is second hand information, as I am not the chief ironer in the house! First of all, it looks great. It has a purple glow to it when switched on that is pleasing in a way that an iron normally isn't. ...

This iron seems well made and is solid to use. I liked the digital LCD display but the positioning wasn't great, with those type of screens you need to look at them front on to read them clearly, but, since it's below the handle, that isn't possible....

To begin: this is a perfectly good iron, which provides quite reasonable results. However, it does have a few flaws which prevent it from standing out in the field. This iron is quite aesthetically pleasing (as long as you like purple). Easy to pick...

Flashing lights and an intermittent beeping noise? This is not the sound of a car reversing or an ambulance passing, but rather my new high tech iron. After reading the manual I learnt that the beeps indicate when the iron's temperature is adjusted and...

After unpacking the iron and measuring jug you will need to get a bottle of methylated spirits - then, using a soft cloth (moistened with a little of the methylated spirit), you need to wipe the ceramic footplate carefully. Once you have wiped the...

Sorry, couldn't resist, but in hindsight probably should have done. Anyway, as to the iron. Looks wise, you can't beat this iron. It's comfortable to use and I've always been a sucker for technical gizmos that get shoehorned into products. But...

I love the funky colours and the soft-toch rubberised handle. I love that the power lead is nice and long. I think the ceramic sole-plate is a great idea and I really enjoy picking this iron up and looking at it. I like that the water chamber is nice...
