Morphy Richards Breeze Steam Review

The Morphy Richards Breeze Iron is a 2600W steam iron with a high output, strong boost and plenty of modern features. It comes equipped with a ceramic soleplate which is designed to protect against snagging. It also evenly distributes heat in order to provide a consistent iron. The iron has a large capacity water tank, allowing you to iron for longer without interruption.

One feature we particularly like is its vertical steam capability. Clothes can be ironed on their hangers if needed, and curtains can be quickly refreshed with ease. The iron is self-cleaning and flushes out limescale. This prevents limescale build up, which has the consequence of protecting against damage, and also extending its lifespan. The iron also sports a drip-stop design which intends to minimise marks caused by water droplets.

Specification

We now look at the features in more detail:

• Soleplate - The soleplate is ceramic and designed to evenly distribute heat. Ceramic soleplates also cool down and heat up quicker than their stainless steel counterparts, making them perfect for ironing. This particular ceramic soleplate protects against snagging.
• Steam / Power - The iron has a continuous steam output of 45g per minute. For more hard-wearing fabrics, tougher creases, buttons and pockets, the iron has the ability to provide a steam boost at a rate of 100g per minute. The wattage is 2600W.
• Large Water Tank - The water tank has a large 350ml capacity, meaning more time can be spent ironing rather than refilling.
• Vertical Steam - As mentioned above, the iron can operate vertically without an ironing board. This is particularly useful for smoothing out hanging clothes. It can be used to freshen up curtains too.
• Cleaning - The iron self-cleans. It has an in-built limescale flushing system which also protects against the build up of limescale, and therefore reduces the damage caused by limescale. This results in an iron with a longer operational lifespan.
• Drip-Stop - The design of the iron is such that it reduces the issue of drips marking clothes.
• Automatic Shut Off - The iron's power will cut out if it's left idle on its soleplate for 1 minute, or 8 minutes if left idle standing on its heel.

Summary

Overall, the Morphy Richards Breeze Iron is up to scratch. Its 45g per minute steam output is more than enough to remove creases from clothes and other garments, and the 100g per minute boost will take care of the particularly tough creases. The self-cleaning functionality is especially useful as it extends the iron's lifespan. We also like the ceramic soleplate which is designed to evenly distribute heat. Overall, we rate the Morphy Richards Breeze Iron 4.5 out of 5 stars.
