Funky Steam Iron Review

The Funky Steam Iron is a retro-style iron from the The Funky Appliance Company. It's available in three colours - Rose Gold (pictured), Blue and Grey. It has a fairly unique shape, allowing it to add a touch of style to your living room. In terms of features it's very much modern, although its unique design allows for a larger water tank - 450ml. For comparison, most steam irons have a capacity between 250ml and 350ml.

The soleplate is made from a ceramic material. Ceramic soleplates are more durable than their stainless steel counterparts. They also heat up and cool down quicker, making them ideal for ironing. For convenience, the iron's handle has a comfortable grip. It also has the ability to steam vertically, smoothing out hanging garments such as suits and bed sheets.

• Large Water Tank - As mentioned above, the iron has a large water tank - 450ml. It allows for more time to be spent ironing and less time to be spent refilling.
• Anti-Scale - The iron protects against limescale building up. As a result, the iron's performance is maintained over time. It also increases the iron's service length.
