Morphy Richards Power Steam Elite Review

The Morphy Richards Power Steam Elite is a red and black steam generator iron. It's a premium steam generator iron, with a huge 6 bar pressure, a strong 200g steam output, and a 310g steam boost. These high pressure settings allow the iron to penetrate multiple layers of fabric. Morphy Richards claim that ironing time can be cut in half in comparison to standard irons, which is a huge time saver.

One feature we particularly like is the automatic cleaning process. It takes 2.5 minutes to completely clean itself and flush out the limescale. The iron is big on safety features, with automatic shut off when it's left idle, and a safety locking base allowing it to be safely carried and stored. The water tank has a large 2.2 litre volume. We look into the full list of features soon.

Specification

The features are as follows:

• Ceramic Soleplate - The underside of the iron (soleplate) is ceramic. It's durable, non-stick and results in an easy glide, making your ironing experience convenient.
• Variable Steam - The variable steam control allows you to use more steam on tougher fabrics such as denim, and less steam on softer fabrics such as cotton.
• Vertical Steaming - The iron works vertically also. It allows you to iron curtains, sides of mattresses, duvets, etc.
• Multiple Layers - The iron is capable of removing creases from multiple layers. This means that your ironing time can be potentially halved.
• Automatic Clean - The automatic cleaning function lasts 2.5 minutes and flushes out limescale.
• Safety - There are two main safety features. The first is the lockable base, allowing the iron to be carried and stored away. The second is the automatic shut off if the iron is left idle for too long.
• Large Water Tank - The iron has a large 2.2 litre water tank. It's detachable to allow for an easy fill. Since it's large, it doesn't need to be filled as often.
• Illumination - There are illuminating lights for "Power On", "Descale" and "Water Refill".
