Rank #6 in Best Steam Irons 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Wattage That Doesn't Add Up
Morphy Richards TurboGlide 2800W Steam Iron
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.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This iron arrived this morning. I had saved ironing in readiness. Absolutely lovely to use. My previous iron was a Tefal and bitterly disappointed so decided on Morphy Richards Amazons Choice. To be able to see the water level is a real bonus. The second bonus is the three metre cord. Two steam switches is also handy although I only used the lower one which was perfect. The booster steam will be ideal for heavy clothes such as jeans etc. It's early days but so far so good. I loved using it. The price excellent and all in all worth every penny and can thoroughly recommend it. If you need a replacement iron go for it !!”
