Morphy Richards Easy Reach Iron Review

The Morphy Richards Easy Reach Iron is a powerful steam iron with a dual zone soleplate, a large translucent water tank and an in-built self-cleaning capability. It's available in two colours - Black (pictured) and Dark Purple. It has a high steam output of 40g per minute, making it suitable for removing creases from both hard-wearing and more delicate fabrics. For tougher creases, the iron is capable of providing a steam shot at a rate of 130g per minute.

The iron has a dual zone soleplate which has steam holes down the edges, and four steam holes near the tip. It also has a non-drip design, reducing the issue of water marks on clothes. For an easy reach, the iron has a long 2.5 metre cable. The iron self-cleans as it goes, and flushes out limescale to prevent build up. This extends the iron's operational lifespan.
