Morphy Richards Saturn Steam Iron Review

The Morphy Richards Saturn Steam Iron is a powerful pressurised steam iron which aims to match a steam generator iron's speed and finish. It achieves this using a number of features. In particular, the precision temperature control, the auto-steam capability, and the special "Aeroglide" ceramic soleplate with 485 well placed steam holes to allow for the best glide and optimal performance.

One feature not often found on steam irons is the crease light. It's designed to show up creases more easily, therefore allowing you to iron creases which could have otherwise been missed. With regards to cleaning, the iron self-cleans by flushing out limescale, resulting in a longer lifespan. For peace of mind, the iron will automatically switch itself off if left idle.

Specification

We now take a look at the features:

• High Performance - The Morphy Richards Saturn Steam Iron is designed to mimic a steam generator iron's speed and finish. It achieves this using a 1 bar pressure pump, a specially designed aeroglide soleplate with 485 well placed holes, a temperature controller, and auto-steam. The water tank's capacity is a large 350ml.
• Aeroglide Soleplate - The soleplate is ceramic, which is particularly efficient at heating up and cooling down. The soleplate is specially designed, with 485 optimally placed steam holes to facilitate the best glide and performance. In effect, it distributes the steam across the entirety of the soleplate and creates a cushion of air for easy crease removal.
• Temperature Control - The iron's temperature can be set as required. The settings are precise.
• Auto-Steam - The steam output automatically adjusts itself.
• Crease Light - To better see left over creases, the iron has a light to illuminate them. It really does help get the best results.
• Self-Cleaning - The iron flushes limescale to prevent build up. Such a feature keeps the iron's performance consistent, and also increases its operational lifespan.
• Automatic Shut Off - The iron will automatically switch itself off if left idle on its soleplate for 30 seconds, or left idle on its heel for 8 minutes.
