If your trusty old iron is on its last legs, now might be a good time to upgrade. Amazon has a mega sale on at the moment and we’ve spotted this GHI high-performer with a 44% discount. That bring the price down from £80 to just £44.99 – pretty impressive!

On test, the Philips PowerLife steam iron won big points, earning itself a score of 84/100. The team was impressed with its tank capacity especially; finding it more than big enough to keep you going as you whizz through your weekly pile. The temperature gauge is accurate, too, so you won’t have to worry about accidentally damaging your delicate silk party dress, which is a relief.

While it’s not as fancy as some options on the market, it does have an automatic shut-off for when the iron’s left unattended. There’s also a drip-stop to keep clothes from getting too soggy during use. The testing team found this feature to work well both while using the steam shot and without.

One thing to note? The steam isn’t as powerful as some other offerings, so that’s something to bear in mind if you wear a lot of garments that tend to crease heavily. It also took a little bit longer to heat up than the team would like.

Overall, though, if you’re looking for something that’ll get the job done at a good price, we think this is a worthy investment. You can pick up one of these irons from Amazon here.
