Morphy Richards Intellitemp Steam Generator Iron Review

The Morphy Richards Intellitemp Steam Generator Iron is a compact and functional piece of equipment. It has a strong 110g steam output with a 190g steam boost which allows it to handle creases on a wide variety of fabrics. Its most prominent feature is the Intellitemp setting which automatically adapts without having to be manually adjusted between garments. It lets you speed through your ironing in no time.

One feature of particular interest is the self-cleaning facility. The cleaning finishes with limescale being flushed out through the soleplate. The iron comes with replaceable anti-scale cartridges to help with this. In terms of safety, the iron is equipped with an automatic shut off if it's left idle for too long. We look at the features in more detail soon.
