Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Morphy Richards TurboGlide 302000 is a steam iron with a ceramic soleplate, a 400ml water tank, a 3m cord and a claimed 150 g/min steam boost. It takes sixth place in this guide at £38.00, with 4.4 out of 5 from 4,293 ratings and a best sellers rank of 10 in Steam Irons. The listing puts it at 50 Hz and 240 volts, the same mains frequency as every other iron here apart from the Tefal Ultimate Pure.
The reason it is worth a second look is not the steam, it is the wattage. The title says 2800W, the specification table repeats 2800 watts, and then the first bullet on the same page says 'the 2400w power'. That is a 400-watt disagreement inside one listing, with neither figure flagged as the wrong one, and it sits on an iron that costs £4.00 more than the £34.00 Russell Hobbs Power Steam Ultra with 42,507 ratings. Everything on this page, including the numbers below, comes from the Amazon listing as it stands rather than from any test we have carried out.

400 ml, with an easy-view window so you can monitor the level and a large filler cap intended to protect against spills when refilling.

3 metres, with a cable storage clip for tidying it away after use.
