Breville PressXpress Steam Generator Iron Review

The Breville PressXpress Steam Generator Iron is a powerful and easy to use steam generator iron. Its main feature is its precision tip which allows for steam to be targeted around buttons and in between pleats (for example). It offers further flexibility and freedom through the use of a long 1.6 metre steam cord. It's available in three colours - Black, Green and White & Satin Gold (pictured).

One feature we particularly like is the ceramic soleplate. It's designed in such a way to allow the iron to be used in multiple directions. It flawlessly glides over clothes without getting snagged. As for steam output, this steam generator iron operates at 100g per minute, with a 230g per minute steam boost. For peace of mind, the iron will automatically shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Specification

The features are as follows:

• Ceramic Soleplate - The iron's soleplate is made from a ceramic material. It allows the iron to be moved in multiple directions and to glide effortlessly without snagging. Ceramic is a durable material.
• Precision Tip - The tip is specifically designed to allow for steam to be targeted in certain areas, e.g. around buttons, and down pleats.
• Output - The iron's pump has a large 5 bar of pressure, allowing thicker items to be well ironed. The steam output per minute is 100g, and the boost is 230g per minute.
• Fast Start - The iron generates steam in only 60 seconds.
• Cord Lengths - The electrical cable measures 1.9m, and the steam cable measures 1.6m. The long steam cable gives you more flexibility with ironing.
• Water Tank - The water tank has a large 1.7 litre capacity. It's detachable to allow for easy filling. The large nature of the tank means fewer refills are needed, and therefore more time can be spent on reducing your laundry pile. The iron will alert when its tank runs dry.
• Self-Cleaning - The iron is capable of performing a self-clean.
• Automatic Shut Off - When left idle for 5 minutes, the iron will switch itself off.
