JML Phoenix Gold: Ceramic Steam Iron with Built-In Steam Generator

Product Information

There’s a light on the base to show that the unit is plugged in, with a light on the iron to indicate charge. While the Swan doesn’t keep its heat as long as some models on this list, it does a great job of removing creases and wrinkles for a bargain price. Phoenix Gold Steam Irons is indistinguishable from Tefal FV2662 Ultraglide Anti-scale Steam Iron . The two have known in the market hereafter, and a lot can testify to the quality of these two steam irons.

This isn’t a machine you’d use for huge amounts of ironing as the water reservoir is tiny – it’s built into the handle and will definitely need refilling if you’re steaming multiple items – but it’s incredibly easy to fill, mainly because Tefal have had the foresight to make it removable from the main body of the steamer. This trouble can be one of the nightmares for us because it leaves a spot or even scratches on our cloth. Various factors can cause this trouble: The Russell Hobbs Freedom iron has a pleasing weight to it, alongside a well-shaped and slightly larger soleplate. A larger plate means it’s particularly good at dealing with stubborn wrinkles and creases, and this is aided by a 135g/min steam shot, as well as continuous 40g/min steam. Phoenix Gold Steam Iron’s consistency on its built means you don’t have to worry about its reliability. With that, let’s weigh its advantages and disadvantages for you to get to know this gold steam iron more:Heavyweight: Phoenix GoldSteam Iron weighs about 2 kilograms. It’s known to be one of the heaviest steam irons available. Heavy irons tend to be one of the hardest irons to use because they require you to exert more effort than the lightweight steam irons available on the market. The Phoenix Gold FreeFlight Cordless Iron is a solid iron with some very useful features – such as the ability to automatically shut off after 30 seconds of being horizontal. The variable water spray is a good touch, too. It’s also nice and steamy with a steam shot. An anti-drip feature will stop water from leaking onto your ironing. Some models also have anti-scale and anti-calc features, alongside a self-clean mode – all useful but not essential. With a smooth ceramic soleplate and concentrated steam drive, the JML Phoenix Gold Steam Iron makes it easy to fly through even the largest laundry piles. Tefal’s Easygliss Eco iron uses up to 30% less energy in Eco mode compared to the iron’s Max mode. It’s also made from up to 35% recycled materials and is 88% recyclable itself, even the box is made from 93% recycled fabrics and is 100% recyclable. If you’re looking for a more sustainable steam iron, this Tefal is the obvious choice. On top of its eco credentials, it’s also a powerful iron with 2800W and 50g/min of steam, plus there’s a 260g boost for when you need extra steam.

Another factor to consider is the size of the iron’s water tank. A smaller tank means more refills, which is going to slow you down. Look for a tank capacity of at least 300ml if you plan to do a fair amount of ironing in one go.Anti-drip System: This system cools down the soleplate until no steam releases anymore but instead drains of boiling water that can potentially transmit stains. Dial the steam selector to turn it off, and the Anti-drip will be activated to limit the risk of staining your cloth.

Heat up time is just 30 seconds from cold, with an advertised recharge time of five seconds. although we noticed it did take slightly longer than this to recharge fully. It also stayed hot for longer than many of the other models, coming in second only to the JML. Soleplates are inevitably ceramic on modern irons. Weight may also be a consideration for you – a heavier iron may actually aid in getting wrinkles out faster, but can be tiring on the arms.
