Breville DiamondXpress 3100W Steam Iron Review

The Breville DiamondXpress Steam Iron is a powerful, high output steam iron packed with features to make your ironing experience as convenient as possible. One of its more notable features is its soleplate. Made from a ceramic material infused with real crushed diamonds, it provides a smooth and fast iron, allowing for multi-directional motion. It's super-wide too for a quicker iron. It also has a precision tip and centralised steam channels.

The handle has been specifically designed to provide a comfortable grip. It has an up-to-temperature illumination, which can be quite handy. For a more thorough clean, the iron is capable of operating vertically without the use of an ironing board. This is particularly handy for ironing suits on hangers, as well as freshening up curtains without having to take them down.

Specification

The features are as follows:

• Soleplate - The soleplate is primarily ceramic, although it is infused with real crushed diamonds. It's multi-directional, and allows for 360 degree ironing. Such a soleplate allows for fast and smooth ironing, with the added advantage of being able to more easily press fabrics and remove smaller wrinkles. The tip allows for a precision iron.
• Strong Output - The iron has a 200g per minute boost which is sufficient for tough creases in hard-wearing fabrics such as denim. The power is 3100W.
• Vertical Steam - The iron works vertically also, allowing for the ironing of hanging clothes, bed sheets, duvets, etc. It's particularly handy for freshening up curtains without having to take them down.
• Handle - The handle has a comfortable grip, and also illuminates when the iron is up to temperature.
• Anti-Drip - The iron is designed to minimise dripping, therefore protecting your clothes from water marks.
• Cleaning - The iron self-cleans and also protects against limescale. This can significantly boost the iron's performance over long periods, and also contributes to extending its lifespan.
• Large Water Tank - The iron's water tank has a very large capacity of 400ml. It has an easy-fill hole for a fast and spill-free refill.
• Wide Heel - The iron's heel is wide to provide increased stability and allow for neat cord storage.
• Power Cord - The power cable is 3 metres long.
• Automatic Shut Off - The iron automatically shuts off if left idle.
