Tower T22008BKG CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and Variable Steam Function, Black and Gold

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​I’m really impressed with this iron. The cordless feature is a total game-changer for ironing sheets and dresses without the lead getting in the way. It recharges on the base almost instantly between garments. ​Pros: ​Freedom: No more tangled cords snagging on the board. ​Power: Steam is just as strong as a traditional corded iron. ​Fast: Heats up quickly and glides smoothly. ​Cons: ​Water tank is a bit small, but it’s a fair trade-off for how lightweight it feels. ​If you want the power of a standard iron with the convenience of a cordless one, buy this. Great value for money!

Excellent iron cord length great but I love the fact it's also cordless I used to hate cord getting in the way. This one slides across the clothes doesn't take long too heat up and is light to use. Great quality I would recommend.

This item was NOT handed to customer as stated. In fact it was left a few feet from the road in a very prominent position. Luckily I found it quite quickly. The iron itself is very good so far.

The Tower CeraGlide cordless steam iron has been excellent value for money. It works really well and makes ironing much easier. One of the best features is that it’s cordless, which gives you much more freedom when ironing and stops the cord getting in the way. It reheats quickly on the base and holds the heat well while you’re using it. The ceramic soleplate is also great as it glides smoothly over clothes and stays clean, which helps make ironing quicker and easier. Overall, this is a really practical iron that performs well and offers great value for the price.

Well, I needed a new iron in a hurry. My old one was over 20 years old. Quick search on Amazon for a cheap replacement ... At £20, this cordless iron wasn't much more than the corded supermarket budget version! Cordless sounded a good idea, too - my kitchen socket is in an awkward place; the cord has to pass across 2'6" of worktop, and the ironing board has to be at right-angles, and the cord just doesn't quite reach to the end of the board. So I took a chance on this iron, and couldn't be happier! Firstly, there seems to be a mis-match between the description (black and teal) and the photo (dark blue and gold). Mine is dark blue and gold, like the photo. (I see another colour option suffers from the same problem.) But that isn't really a problem, because I didn't mind which colour option I got. Moving from a two decade old iron, I've been very impressed by how quickly this one heats up (about 25 seconds from cold). It seems to get nice and hot - I haven't needed the hottest setting yet. As with standard irons, the steam setting is easily adjusted, and there is the usual pair of buttons on top of the handle for a burst of steam or a spray. I thought the iron might be awkward to position on its cradle to heat up, but so far I haven't had a problem. The little light is in a difficult position to see, but after the initial heat up, I simply return the iron to its cradle each time I reposition the garments, and it seems fine. I see one reviewer complains that it's not rechargeable - but why would you want the extra weight and reduced lifespan of batteries? Our grandmothers used flatirons, which had to be heated on the hotplate on the kitchen range. That took a while, so they needed two or three irons. This is just a modern version of those old flatirons - but it heats up so quickly that you only need one! And as a bonus, if you're ironing something particularly large, you can lock the iron onto its base and use it like a standard corded iron! The water tank isn't huge - but it's simple enough to refill it, should you need to, especially as you can keep the little jug beside you, filled with extra water, for just such a contingency. I used to loathe ironing. In the few weeks I've had this iron, I've come to ... perhaps "enjoy" is too strong a word, but I don't mind doing it now. The iron is hot and ready in just moments, and I'm not tethered to that awkward socket any more. Excuse me now, while I go off to play with my new toy. I mean - to work hard at an essential household task!!

I really like this iron. I put the stand on the ironing board and then put it back to heat up when I am moving items to iron. Very light and effective.

Bought to replace previous cordless iron It can be used with the cord attached or cordless. It is easier ironing cordless as the electric cable is quite heavy also the flex doesn't get in the way. The iron heats up whilst rearranging the laundry on ironing board. Being a round base it is easy to replace the iron for it to charge. I am happy with the purchase. It come with a 3 year warranty

Update - 12th May 2025 Unfortunately, the issue I raised before has become worse over time. The charging point on the base is very small and has a small pin which you need to be very precise to get into the right place. The pin has been bent slightly and now it is very difficult to get the iron into a charging position. If you are lucky enough to get it to charge, the iron is at such an unbalanced angle it is more likely to topple over. A significant design flaw to be honest. I would avoid the product as this has happened after 8 months of use. Purchased to replace older Morphy Richards cordless iron. I looked at replacing like for like but the Morphy Richards model was close to £50 and the Tower model was close to £25. So, how have I found it....at a basic level, it is still an iron, and gets the job done. I had a Tower air fryer which was basic, but good, and kind of expected this to be the same, which it was. So on this basis, about met fairly low expectations. There are a couple of issues though with the Tower iron. The underside of the handle is cramped by a steaming button, which does make it fiddly to hold. Also, the base unit is oddly designed, and not as stable as the Morphy Richards, or as easy to put the iron onto. With the Tower model, you have to be very precise when placing the iron on the base unit, like you're landing a rocket. I must admit, I do miss the wider base of the Morphy Richards....that being said, the whole reason I was replacing the iron was because I knocked the Morphy Richards off the ironing board when trying to do it too fast. One general gripe with cordless. It does make things easier, particularly when setting the board up, as you don't have to get so close to the socket to be able to reach all ends of the board with the iron. But no one has yet provided a good solution for how to tidy the cable up at the end. An area to coil the cable as part of the base would make a good addition to the design.

Cordless but no battery? Completely useless without the cord and very cumbersome with cord.

Very satisfied, works well

It took me a very long time to come to a decision on which steam iron to purchase and this is what I chose at the end. I don't regret my decision after all as this iron delivers the goods.

First-time buyer, and it won’t be my last. The item matched the description in the listing and was well priced compared to other sellers. Surprisingly, it arrived early, considering it traveled from the opposite side of the world.
