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.
