This steam generator iron is modern in styling and the red one is quite good looking too. The actual iron (the head unit) is lightweight and very easy to move around my board. The iron head has three basic controls: the temperature dial, the button to control the steam supply on or off and the steam boost button which gives you a short blast of steam at a higher pressure to the two lower settings on the main unit. The main steam generator unit is as most of its type reasonably heavy, but hey, it sits on the ironing board rest and you don’t move it except to set up and pack away.The steam generator has a removable water tank with a large capacity, so if ironing is your thing, it’ll keep you happy for ages.The tank has a button that needs to be depressed to remove it; this should stop any accidental loosening of the tank and water spillage, should it have detached. To switch the unit on press the large button in the centre of the control panel, the iron head unit will heat up in a few minutes and the blue indicator light extinguish, the steam generator will take a little longer. By default the low steam pressure will be selected, if you need more steam then press the right arrow to cycle through the next two settings and then the left arrow to cycle back to the low setting. I have found that for 90% of my garments, the low setting is more than adequate. The other indicator lights show low water in tank and that the auto descale/cleaning cycle is selected.To use the iron for dry ironing, do not press the steam delivery button or depress the button for steam delivery as needed. If you do not depress the steam button the iron will automatically cut off after 10 minutes or so. This is a safety feature to stop you leaving the iron switched and unattended. If you need to do lots of dry ironing then just depress the steam delivery button now and again when resting the unit.So far I have found that the unit does not drip water all over my garments, as my previous one did. The extra length (about 12”) of the cord/steam hose is very useful when doing sheets etc. where you need to access the ends of the ironing board.The self-clean system is a real bonus and saves you bothering to go through the normal manual descale/clean cycle. When the unit detects that about 5 litres of water has been used it goes through an automatic clean cycle and dumps the used (soiled) water in a separate part of the water tank. Therefore it all takes place at the ironing board and not by the sink. You need to ensure that the water tank is emptied after use though. If not then the soiled water tank could overfill.Lastly the unit has a locking mechanism to lock the iron head unit securely to the generator base, this makes moving it about before of after use much safer and easier. The unlock the head unit just depress the red button on the side of the unit, do not try to touch the white button that locks the iron on, as you may burn yourself, as it gets hot when the iron is locked into place after use.Do I like this iron? You bet! I would recommend this iron to anyone who needs to do lots of steam ironing. I’ve used it on anything from lightweight fabrics to denim and it’s a joy to use. If it lasts as long as it should, I would have no hesitation in replacing it “like for like”.A bloke doing the ironing… it must be good!

Now there's a statement I never thought I'd ever make! This steam generator has finally got me looking for things to iron and it's not the first steam generator I have owned before either.My last steam generator gave up the ghost before Christmas, not a Morphy Richards, but always did a good job of ironing, with a good amount of steam. After looking at the various models and features of the different makes, I was drawn to the 332006 for the features and design within the price bracket I had in mind.When it arrived, I was impressed. It looked good, was easy to fill the water container and easy to put into use. It came to temperature quickly,gave an awesome amount of continuous steam and the first shirt I ironed was noticeably better than any shirt I had ever ironed before, thanks to the amount of steam and the gliding of the sole plate on the material. I then tried it on some curtains which had been hanging for years with creases which had never gone away before, not even with the previous steam generator, due to having been in the packet for to long, no doubt. The creases just disappeared before my eyes and once done, the iron just locked back into place on the base with the cord wound around it and was easily carried back upstairs. So, as you can see, I am impressed by this steam generator. With three steam settings in addition to the heat settings, there's enough steam for the toughest job. The water container is large and easy to fill, with a light and beeping when this is due. After so many uses, the steam generator automatically runs a cycle to descale, not really something which is a necessity in our soft water area, but nevertheless, I'm glad it is doing it automatically, protecting itself for the future. As for the last feature to highly recommend, it's the auto switch off mode, which turns itself off after a period of inactivity. Hands up, I have left an iron on before and forgotten about switching it off after getting distracted, enough to think about plugging previous irons into a timer, but that never really worked, too impractical. It switches itself off! Yay! At last!Yes, I like this steam generator. The plus points are the design, ease of use, steam quantity, effectiveness, portability, water container size, auto descale procedure, auto switch off feature, beeps and light flashing notifications.The only minus points I have are few. As with all electrical devices, the electric supply cord could do with being a bit longer. Also, the water container is easy to fill, but with my bathroom taps, the design of them suits a slightly larger opening on the water container, not a problem, it just means a few drips to wipe off the side each time. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

First thought is, now this is a large unit. Yes it is, however, it sits comfortably and stable on the ironing board and it does such a good job, you soon forgive it for being a little on the big side ! The water tank (the coloured part of the unit), holds a whopping 2.2 litres, so no need to constantly keep refiling every 5 minutes. The units detaches from the main base, you lift the water cap and its an easy fill straight from the tap. An indicator light will tell you when it needs refilling. Honestly, this iron does all the thinking for you ! When you plug the unit in the mains it beeps and then once again when you press the on button. You then have the choice of dry iron or three steam levels.

The steam generator iron arrived well packaged and unboxing was easy. The manual is very easy to follow with clear instructions. It’s great that the iron can be secured and locked to the base for easy carrying. This gave me added confidence to know it would prevent any accidents by it falling off the base. With the iron secured to the base of the generator I found it to be a good weight not too heavy and the build quality feels extremely strong. The design of the whole unit is sleek, stylish and the shiny surface gives it a very contemporary look. I find the little red indicator lights to be helpful because it shows at a glance exactly what steam pressure you are using or if you need to add water etc and the temperature dial is clear to read and stays in place until you wish to move it.

Where do I start? Yet again Morphey Richards have surprised me again. I love their steam station irons and I loved the previous model. Well I thought they could not make a better one. Well they have. This iron is so light, easier to carry around. I was not apprehensive at first that it would not irin as well as the oldet model. Well it does. I am OCD about ironing, everything has to be perfection. Well it irons perfect. I swear it takes far less water. This model has a Intelligent setting function which perfect if you unsure the tempreture. Great for my husband. He tried it out too. He loves it. I have ironed 800 thread count Egyptian cotton to the finest silk. Perfection.

I hate ironing, but love ironed sheets on the bed, so a good iron is a must. This one is easy to use and really does a great job of getting all the creases out of the sheets, even when they have sat in the ironing basket for a while. It even got out creases that my old steam generator iron did not manage and my sheets look as good as new and feel great on the bed. It also made short work of my husband’s shirts, which I really hate ironing! The temperature is easy to control and the ironing ends up quite dry, rather than a bit soggy with all the steam as other irons have left it.The tank holds a good amount of water and filling the tank is fast and easy as you remove this from the iron,

I bought this recently and although it’s a good iron I honestly expected better, I expected it to be more powerful. It is quite good but compared to my old Morphy Richards purple and black power steam elite stream generator iron model 330004 It feels like my old iron was more powerful and had more oomph to it. I don’t understand this as this is a newer model that I bought compared to my old one and if anything it’s supposed to be more powerful and have better features like the steam shot/boost function which is a massive 310g of steam a shot and although my old iron was 190g steam power per minute my new one is 200g steam power per minute which is more and a slightly higher bar of 6.5 compared to my old 5.0 bar.

I was given the opportunity to trial the new Morphy Richards 332006 Power Steam Elite Steam Generator Iron (phew, that's a bit of a mouthful)! I've never had a steam generating iron before, and though the stalwart iron I've had for the past few years has a steam function, there's no power behind it.When the Steam Elite arrived I was almost convinced it was the wrong item, as the box was huge. Once unpacked I settled down to read the manual as the control panel looked like something off the Starship Enterprise. It turned out the panel was fairly straightforward, but then I discovered that if you live in a hard water area you need to fill the steam generator with 50% distilled (or demineralised)

First Steam Generator Iron I have used and so far impressed. The Iron itself is fairly lightweight which makes using it easy and does not make your arm ache as some heavier irons can. For constant steam when ironing you simply hold in the button conveniently located on the underside of the handle so holding it in is no extra effort or awkward. You then get a constant and full amount steam. The steam unit itself has clear indicators on for more for less steam, the on/of button and indicates when more water is required with an audible sound as well as the light flashing. I have to refill it once as I iron a full wash load at a time. Once it has been refilled you do not have to wait long before it is ready to be used again.

I have only just received this iron as a replacement for my previous one and so far it is proving a far superior product. It gets rid of stubborn creases with minimal effort on your behalf, the powerful 170g/min steam output is more than a match for even the most crinkled fabrics with an extra 300g boost function should you need it! It has a generous 2.2 litre water capacity which I find is more than enough to cope with a good couple of hours ironing without having to continually stop to fill up the tank. The power lead for the unit is of good length as is the iron cord from the unit which affords you plenty of reach, so the unit can be safely placed on a work surface away from the ironing board.

Ironing is never a favourite occupation but having taken delivery of the Morphy Richards Power Steam Elite I can honestly say that it meets all my pressing needs and more! This is a replacement for my earlier model and I am delighted. The capacity of the water tank is excellent. It allows you to get on an do a basket of ironing with the constant need to refill. The iron sits very well on the base unit - much more secure than before and the ample length cable means the unit can be positioned on a work surface near the ironing board.The auto shut off is very useful. Often when called to the phone or door the iron can be left unattended for some time and it gives me peace of mind to know it will shut off automatically.

What a cracker…From a man’s perspective, this is a great piece of kit and a joy to use.My old iron died so I have been looking for a replacement and after doing the internet dance came across this steam generator.After reading and watching lots of reviews decided this was the one for me, Having been used to a 15 year old iron decided to go for a generator this time round woo-hoo. Get me Well when it arrived for some strange reason as was so looking forward to giving this a go, I even saved up ironing for the occasion ( I must be mad lol )Well straight out of the box this iron looked great and different to what I thought an iron was,

Purchased as a replacement for a failed unit. My wife & I read more than twenty reviews on the various Morphy Richards Steam Generator Irons, & found the 332006 to be (our) ideal successor. Smooth, clean lines; ergonomic, & comparatively lightweight to transport from cupboard to ironing board. The power & steam cables store neatly around the base of the unit, adequately secured by a pull out clamp. A substantial 2.2 litre water reservoir allows for even the most mountainous pile of laundry, & glides easily through same; there is an extra steam jet button, for the more stubborn creases; most important for (us) was the 'auto clean' facility, saving time on descaling, & providing limescale-free results on the garments.

Morphy Richards Steam Elitepower generatorThe first thing you notice when you unpack this iron is that it's extremely attractive. The black and red complement each other and no matter what colour your kitchen/utility room this iron makes a positive statement. So. One of my many phobias is limescale. Ask my husband, he would say it's my overriding phobia, so any appliance which minimises limescale immediately gets my vote before I even open the box. And what a box; strongly packed, informative and with a bold, eye catching design. If I'm picky I would say the whole boxed iron is rather heavy but once in situ the iron is a breeze to use (providing you untangle the steam hose first).
