Rank #3 in Best Steam Irons 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Wattage That Doesn't Add Up
Tower CeraGlide Cordless Steam Iron, 2400W, Purple
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Tower CeraGlide is a steam iron that runs either from its cord or entirely free of it, with a multi-layered ceramic soleplate, a 360 ml water tank and a stated 2400 W. It takes third place in this guide at £21.00, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 17,810 ratings.
The finding here is the reverse of the pattern at the top of the guide. The Morphy Richards TurboGlide is named 2800W and repeats 2800 watts in its spec table, yet its own first bullet says 'the 2400w power'; the Philips 3000 Series is titled 2600W and listed as 2600 watts, yet a bullet claims '2400 W power'. The Tower prints 2400 W in three separate places — the item highlight, the item type name and the wattage row of the specification table — and no field in the listing disagrees with another. The one set of numbers that does not close is the rating breakdown: five-star 67, four-star 19, three-star 7, two-star 2 and one-star 5 add to exactly 100, sitting beside the 17,810 ratings stated for the same iron. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the Tower T22008; we have not tested the iron ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I am absolutely thrilled with this Tower Cordless Steam Iron 2400W! Ironing used to feel like a tedious chore, but switching to a cordless design has completely changed the game. Without a restrictive power cord tangling around the end of the board or pulling at clothes, I can glide across fabrics freely and efficiently.Despite being cordless, there is absolutely no compromise on power. The 2400W output ensures that the iron heats up incredibly fast when sitting on its dock. The heat retention is impressive, giving me plenty of time to smooth out a section before a quick re-dock is needed while I reposition the garment. It glides beautifully across all types of materials, and the steam distribution is powerful enough to blast through deep creases in linen and denim on the very first pass.The build quality feels solid yet lightweight enough that my wrist doesn't get tired during larger laundry loads. The water tank capacity is generous, meaning fewer trips to the sink, and the controls are straightforward to adjust. It has genuinely cut my ironing time in half while delivering crisp, professional-looking results every single time. If you are on the fence about moving away from traditional corded irons, I highly recommend making the switch to this model. It is a fantastic, high-performing appliance that offers unbeatable freedom of movement and top-tier results. Five stars well deserved!”
