Ironing is neither glamourous or exciting, but it doesn’t mean it should at least try to be, the Phoenix Copper Pro (using a name like this is a good place to start), uses a HyperGlide ceramic sole plate for smooth glide across you clothing. This copper-ceramic continuous steam iron has a load of features to help you get the ironing done as quickly and efficiently as possible, allowing you to get on with something far more exciting. The combination of a HyperGlide copper-ceramic-coated soleplate and a built-in ProSteam independent steam generator lets you effortless smash though your ironing basket with high quality crease-removal. This soleplate also has the benefits of heating up quickly and retaining an even heat throughout use, there is a Power Triangle at the heart of the soleplate which sends a column of intense steam through multiple layers of clothing or can be used at a distance for contactless ironing on delicate fabrics, silk for example or around details like buttons, prints and transfers.

The pump-driven Pro-Steam Generator is there to provide an independent steam chamber, separate to that of the soleplate, this allows for a continuous steam to give you more control over removing creases from all manner of fabrics. The Phoenix allows for vertically ironing, so hanging garments, like curtains and upholstery can be de-creased without moving them, this iron also has self-cleaning and easy access for a longer life, with the anti-calc function it helps to rid lime scale build-up, and the removable steel cover plate, means you can access any calcium and lime scale laying deeper down. The Phoenix Copper Pro has a 370ml water tank, a 2.65m power cord and comes with a water jug and brush attachment, we found it to be good value for money, it gets through a lot of water due to all that steam but will get you through a boring chore with ease.
