Rank #8 in Best Steam Irons 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Wattage That Doesn't Add Up
Morphy Richards Turbosteam 2800W Steam Iron
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Morphy Richards Turbosteam is the eighth of the ten steam irons in this guide, listed at £52.00 with a 4.5 out of 5 average from 537 Amazon ratings. The listing describes a 2800W iron with a non-stick ceramic soleplate, a 380ml water tank and a 3m cord, and puts its steam boost at 170 g/min against 50 g/min of continuous steam.
The point of interest on this page is what does not happen on it. Two of the other nine irons in this guide quote one wattage in the title and a different one in their own bullet points; here the product name says 2800W, the spec table says 2800 watts, and no bullet carries a competing figure. It is listed at 240 volts and 50 Hz. The star breakdown on the page runs 71, 18, 6, 1 and 4 from five stars down to one, which totals 100 against 537 ratings. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this iron — we have not plugged it in ourselves.

Questions people ask
Is the Morphy Richards Turbosteam a 2800W iron?
Yes. The product name on the listing says 2800W and the spec table says 2800 watts, and none of the bullet points gives a different wattage figure. The same table lists the iron at 240 volts and 50 Hz.
How much steam does the Morphy Richards Turbosteam produce?
The listing quotes a 170 g/min steam boost and 50 g/min of continuous steam, with vertical steaming for curtains and other hanging fabrics.
How big is the water tank, and will I be refilling it often?
The tank holds 380ml and has a large filler cap. One Amazon reviewer writes that the steam is good but that you should be prepared to refill the water tank regularly.
Does the Morphy Richards Turbosteam switch off on its own?
Auto shut-off appears in the product name, in the first bullet point and again in the special features field, so it is a repeated part of the listing rather than a footnote.
What is the soleplate made of?
A non-stick ceramic soleplate, with a precision tip that the listing says helps in hard-to-reach areas such as collars and between buttons.
What warranty comes with the Morphy Richards Turbosteam?
The spec table lists 4 years on registration, so the cover depends on registering the iron.
