Bosch TDS8030GB Serie 8 VarioComfort Steam Generator Iron, 1.8 Litre, 2400 W - Black/White

Product Information

Many generators can produce a constant steam volume of 120g/min, whereas even a decent traditional iron will struggle to produce more than 55g/min. So make sure you take the time to narrow your choice down to a few products and then compare the features of each to see which is likely to better suit your needs. Although we wouldn’t advise it, you can also leave it face down on a silk blouse and it won’t burn a dirty great hole in it. The ceramic soleplate is smooth, ironing well with a nice glide across fabric, and there’s even a vertical steam option. With VarioComfort, steam and temperature for each ironing programme are perfectly coordinated to produce smooth laundry in no time.

These irons go beyond simply removing wrinkles – they transform ironing into a seamless, efficient, and satisfactory process. bar penetrates fabric particularly deeply and, thanks to Ultimate520 PulseSteam, even the most stubborn of creases in thick fabrics don’t stand a chance.

Steam boost figures are even more impressive: you might get 230g/min from an iron, while the best steam generators approach 500g/min. That said, you can’t use continuous steam for more than about 15 seconds before the iron starts to splutter a little, so do bear this in mind. The scale collector and anti-drip features help keep limescale out of your iron and off your clothes, and the Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate is particularly smooth, gliding over clothes with minimal effort.

Continuous steam unlike some other irons where the steam reduces when the boiler pulls in more water. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It looks like this product is no longer available but there's probably a new version available with the same or better specification. For those seeking robust steaming without the demands of professional-grade irons, the EasyComfort hits the sweet spot. The ergonomic handle stays cool while ironing, and the extra-large heel rest provides a solid footing during use.

And the novel permanent refill function enables refilling the tank anytime without waiting for the iron to cool. You can refill the tank whenever required and due to it’s large capacity, it will last during even those longer ironing sessions. Yes, there is a seal between the water tank and the ironing station of the Bosch Serie 8 VarioComfort TDS8060DE. The iron produces an impressive 180g of steam a minute, with a whopping 750g/min steam shot to remove stubborn creases. Where the more expensive GC9682/86 model produces 165g/min of continuous steam and a 600g/min steam boost, this one boasts a marginally lower output of 150g/min and 500g/min boost.

But for discerning homeowners who iron frequently and desire the pinnacle of German engineering, the ProHygiene hits the sweet spot. While there’s very little to quibble about with this model, the warm-up time is pretty long at over two minutes, and the base unit is made from a brittle plastic that easily cracks if dropped when full of water. I give it 10 out of 10 for looks alone - it is a sleek, wonderfully designed iron that is easy to use. The vertical steam function is handy for steaming hanging fabrics, and the water level indicator and temperature-ready indicator provide easy-to-read notifications. But for undefeated crease-fighting power fused with ingenious convenience, the HomeProfessional stands peerless.This smart function finds the optimum level of temperature and steam for all types of ironable fabric, so you can quickly get through your ironing pile without having to change settings. Although the Tower doesn’t feel quite as solid as some of the more expensive models, it still does an excellent job, just don’t expect it to power through the ironing quite as quickly. It heats up in just 60 seconds and offers 90g/min of continuous steam, along with a steam shot for the more stubborn creases. The iron features a steam boost performance of 520 g/min, which is useful for tackling tough creases and wrinkles.
