Bosch TDS8030GB Serie 8 VarioComfort Steam Generator, 1.8 Litre, 2400W - Black/White

I've given this Iron 5 stars all the way, despite a couple of minor issues which I'm certainly not gonna let bother me, but will mention below.However, that aside, this is the Rolls Royce of Steam Generator Irons as far as I'm concerned. I was so undecided when ordering it; but I'm so glad that I did buy it. It came quickly, altho not next day Prime delivery which I have, but it came very quickly after that, the following day in fact.This Iron lights up like a Christmas Tree, lol. It has everything. Eco button too. It is very lightweight, and is certainly easy to use. It has an enormous water container. It simply glides over everything that I have ironed so far; not much I know, because I try to get over heavy ground as lightly as possible when it comes to ironing. The temperature control is a doddle, and very efficient. The whole unit is large (I didn't think any iron could be larger than my last one); but it isn't a problem for me since I put the unit on top of my dryer in the utility room.Unlike my old Steam generator Iron, which gave out after around 8 years, this one WILL stand up on the ironing board, so no more burnt patches on the ironing board. :) That was a big bonus for me.There are just two insignificant niggles: I have small hands, but when one takes hold of the iron it is hard not to activate the booster steam button; not a lot of wriggle room, but the iron handle is large enough, I just have to pick it up further back; practice makes perfect. lol. The second niggle is that the cord is not as long as I'd like, but long enough in any event. But as I said, these issues are rather minor and insignificant for me, and I absolutely love my new Iron.When you lift the inner box out of the bigger box that it comes in, one whole flap has written, and beautifully illustrated instructions on it (large). Keep that, because altho the instructions are very simple to follow, there's a lot of them, since this iron has a lot of awesome features to it. :)I would absolutely highly recommend this Iron.

Brilliant iron, would definitely get again. Easy to fill up and good to use. Best steam generator iron I’ve had this is the third one I have bought as I wasn’t happy with the other make I thought I would try a bosh and I wouldn’t get another make now. So much faster and easier to use

Have had several issues with the item since I bought it. Manufacturer repaired it but has failed again. Avoid if you can. Seller gave limited warranty so pointless

Really nice and easy to use. I don’t mind ironing now. Quality not so good...locking button broke after two uses.

Initially I was disappointed as the packaging was badly damaged and when I phoned Amazon they said it was an item which had been returned and renewed. I hadn’t realised this when ordering. That said, I could find no evidence of damage and it is a fantastic machine. My previous steam generating iron was about 13 years old and had given up the ghost. This is far superior, it holds much more water, is quick to heat up, is quieter and very fast to iron with. I would never go back to a regular iron. I chose Bosch as they are a trusted brand and have always found anything made by them to be high quality. I have not been disappointed. If you’re looking for a steam generating iron go for this one.

Came with broken box, without orginal packing plastic bag an plug cover, its looking like second hand. Iron is noisy when ssucking water, clothes after ironing looking very good, fantastic options to ironing

This steam generator iron is brilliant! It is easy to use and makes ironing a pleasure. It quickly deals with a large variety of items with excellent crease free results. Water tank is a bit stiff to pull out but that may be me!I loved my previous Bosch steam generated iron and had it for many years. I researched for a replacement and this model met my specific requirements and went beyond them. It was a lot of money but it was worth it!

My old Bosch steam generator died after many years of faithful service and so I had to purchase a replacement. Although these are more expensive than some other makes, they are well worth buying. The steam this generates is superlative and it cuts through creases like a hot knife through butter. Life is too short so anything that cuts down on time spent ironing gets a thumbs up from me.
