Morphy Richards Turbosteam Pro Steam Ceramic Iron Review

The Morphy Richards Turbosteam Pro Steam Iron is a fast heat, dual temperature control steam iron with a pearl ceramic easy-glide soleplate. It has the option of switching from its "Intellitemp" mode which automatically adjusts the temperature depending on the fabric being ironed, to the "Max" mode which is designed to remove creases with extra strength.

The soleplate is made from a pearl ceramic material. It facilitates a super smooth and easy glide due to its non-stick property. It also has curved edges to prevent snagging and to ensure that additional creases are not rolled in. Note that the steam holes are only around the edge, leaving a large pressing plate area to help remove extra moisture. The soleplate also has a precision tip so that you can iron around buttons and into hard to reach areas.

The steam output is impressive. The continuous steam output is 55g per minute, and the steam shot boost is 200g per minute. The iron is capable of ironing a fair amount of garments from its extra large 400ml capacity. The iron is also capable of a vertical steam. It can therefore iron hanging curtains and clothes. This is particularly useful for curtains as you can freshen them up without having to take them down.

Specification

We now take a look at the features in detail:

• Dual Temperature - The iron has two temperature modes - Intellitemp and Max. "Intellitemp" automatically adjusts the iron's temperature based on the fabric being ironed. It protects against burning. For tougher creases and thicker fabrics, the "Max" setting provides a more powerful de-crease.
• High Performance - The iron has a continuous steam output of 55g per minute, increasing to 200g per minute with the boost. It has a fast heat up time, achieved through the use of its 3100W of power. The water tank is large to ensure fewer interruptions.
• Soleplate - The soleplate is made from super-smooth non-stick pearl ceramic. It has a precision tip for easy navigation around buttons, pockets and decorations. The steam holes are closer towards the edge of the soleplate to give you a pressing plate in the middle. The edges are curved to prevent snagging and to reduce the risk of introducing additional creases.
• Vertical Steam - The iron has the ability to operate vertically without the use of an ironing board. It's perfect for ironing hanging curtains, clothes, bed sheets, duvets, etc. As mentioned, not having to take curtains down for ironing is a huge time saver.
• Self-Cleaning - The iron is self-cleaning. It flushes through to prevent the build up of limescale.
• Automatic Shut Off - The iron will shut itself off after 1 minute if left on its soleplate, and 8 minutes if left on its heel.
