I bought this a year ago and it was fine until last month when it started leaking water from the front steam holes every time I pressed the steam button. I have changed the filter twice even though not necessary as we live in a soft water area. Useless now as a steam iron and I cannot contact Morphy Richards. Try a different brand!

 So, like a few others bought into the positive reviews after our trusty old steam iron gave up the ghost. On my old iron, it would produce steam all the time, with a "boost" giving it a proper cloud. I expected this type of cloud from this new iron. What I got was something out of willow the wisp (or Harry's first attempts at a Patronus, for all you HP fans out there). Max temperature, clean water, followed the manufacturers instructions to the t. It seems perhaps that a lot of the positive reviews are from a longer time ago, and therefore I wonder if Morphy Richards have changed the design? All in all, would not buy it again. Ps, I think my kettle produces more steam.

I previously had a swan branded iron but I didn’t like the noise it made when you refilled the water tank, so I thought I’d try this product, I can’t seem to get on with it at all, firstly it’s too light, secondly, it’s as if it’s not hot enough to get the creases out of the clothes but it sticks to the clothes as if it’s too hot plus it still makes the noise my old iron made. Disappointed I didn’t stick with my old brand.

I purchased this iron in August 2015 and initially it performed well, but as seems to be common it now produces no steam. The filter was changed every 3 months.I requested support from Amazon and was passed over to Morphy Richards who were unhelpful as I had not registered the product which apparently gives another years warranty.I was told that I should be changing the filter every 6 weeks. The instructions given in the manual are vague on this.My advice would be to consider a different iron. I don't consider a life of 15 months to be satisfactory.Updated.....since I first posted this, further discussion with Amazon has resulted in being offered a full refund.

I bought this to replace the previous version as it started leaving marks on my boyfriend’s white shirts.This new version leaves the same marks (after two weeks of use). I’m bored with having to rewash shirts!!!!It’s like ironing roulette... can I iron this shirt without ruining it.I have tried to report the fault but no one called me back.An absolute waste of time and money!!!

This item is terrible. It has been leaking black liquid from the iron from day one. I contacted Morphy Richards and they were useless. I would advise to spend a littlemore and invest in a better brand. I had a Bosch one before this and it was muchmore powerful. One glide of the iron and it was done. With this one - sometimes you need to go over the the same part twice

The iron absolutely stinks of marijuana when you turn it on, and its spitting out white chunks as if it's full of limescale. We've used it three times and it's been doing this since the start. Really not happy with the product. It also spits out water all over the clothes. It's as much good as a chocolate teapot

This steam iron looks good and worked well for just under a year - thereafter brown water poured through the base of it. Ironing load twice a week for a few hours each time.Cartridges changed regularly and iron tank emptied on completion of ironing.The brochure does state you should use DISTILLED WATER which I DID NOT do as it is cumbersome for me.Two things which may help future buyers of this product: I found I was not able to particularly identify my iron with Morphy Richards through my model number serial number unless I had registered it with them. Their helpline also advised that Amazon would not be able to match my order to the serial number on the iron either as they do not record this information. Make sure you register and record this information yourself when you get your product for any future problems.I also asked Helpline if I could possibly prolong the life of my iron and they suggested flushing it with DISTILLED WATER and also to replace a new cartridge to see if it helps correct it.I guess I will send it to the recycle.I hope this helps.Thank you.G B Owens

Ok so it does the job as in gets clothes smooth, however the purple water container cracks and breaks and leaks at the slightest knock or bump. Twice I’ve replaced mine in a year at a further cost and the latest one is being held together with glue and tape and still leaks from a crack caused by a slight knock which wouldn’t bruise a peach. Just over a year of using it maybe once a month and it’s started pouring steam out of the base but not the iron! Typically it’s *just* over a year old. Either get a better model or go for a really good normal iron but this was definitely a false economy.

I have been using this iron for a month and although it does the job (it’s an iron, ok?), there are some annoying disadvantages that would stop me giving it full marks.1. It is very unsteady on its stand and is so lightweight that it’s impossible to leave it standing on its ‘heel’ on the ironing board. In fact when my husband did this the iron rolled off the board onto the carpet and burnt it!2. The iron regularly spits when steaming - this is despite using de-mineralised water as recommended.3. The steam carries on gushing out long after you have stopped pressing the steam button.4. There is no cable tidy.5. It would be helpful if you could lock the iron onto its stand when not in use - as noted in point 1, the iron feels very unsteady on its stand which makes it a bit disconcerting to carry around.All in all, this was a budget iron and I think this is reflected in its performance.

Bought this 18 months ago, and it stopped generating steam. Despite having a 2 year warranty, Morphy Richards wouldn't honour this claiming they don't cover issues relating to limescale build up - however I replaced the filters every 6 months as per the instructions. There is no warning light in the system, or instructions on warning signs that the filters need to be replaced so no way to know if you are replacing them frequently enough or not.Be careful before you buy this product; perhaps worthwhile getting a more expensive version from another brand that will stand up to their promises, particularly if you live in a 'hard water area'.Luckily for me, Amazon stepped up and helped me out in this situation - great service from them, terrible service from Morphy Richards.

good value but sometimes dripping water during ironing which can be annoyingi never used steam iron before this one so from i was using a cheap iron it's a big difference and excellent easy fast ironing experience... definitely changed my life never going back to cheap irons

I have had 4 of these irons in the past 2 1/2 years each day new lasting a little less than the previous one. This last one was bought in November 2018 and has broken down it's now February 2019!! Not very impressed so won't be buying again. Time to move to another brand.

I read the reviews and all seemed well.Iron arrived today so decided to iron 3 pairs of jeans and a shirt. I think more steam came out of my ears than this so called steam generator iron. Furthermore, to spray any water from the iron it has a tiny and i mean TINY water compartment that can barely take a thimble of water (not the main water compartment).Without the steam button applied the iron was luke warm at best. Such a waste of time. My old Tesco £14 iron can do a better job. Hugely disappointed.Can someone point me to a mid priced steam generator iron that has high heat and steam output please?

I have had this produce before without any issues an it lasted a good few years. This time the iron produced a foul smell from the start, I thought it was just the new smell and would wear off but it has gotten worse and causes me nausea and headaches, even when I'm not the one doing the ironing, the smell lingers in the house for hours and on the clothes. I have contacted the manufacturer but having seem some other reviews on this site I am looking to return it.

This is the second Morphy Richards steam generator iron I have had. Both of them lasted just over a year despite replacing the refill cartridges regularly.

I have used it today for the first time and it has an awful smell. You can see from the photo that brown liquid has come out all over my clothes. Not impressed.
