The Funky Appliance Company, Pressurised Steam Grey Funky Iron, Anti-Scale, Vertical Steam, 450 ml Tank, Ceramic Soleplate, 2400 W

i was tempted purely by the looks of this iron. a little bit extravagant with the price. but looks great.... i like the fact it only steams when you hold the (easy accessible) button on the handle. i like the feel of the chunky handle. which makes easy for me to hold even with arthritis in my hands. as a dry iron it works well with the blast of steam when needed. i did also use to vertical steam and it worked well and did the job but a bit heavy for me. but it did the job and i would do it again when needed.i bought this for its aesthetics.....then ...after only a few times using it .... i dropped it and broke the casing!! :( >>> i was so cross with myself. but ... to its credit it survived and still works fine. so i also add that its sturdy! i am so annoyed after buying for looks that i now have a big hole in the side, but that is my fault not the irons... it still works despite me. and that to me mean a sturdy iron. i would buy again and may do when i can afford to....as the hole in the side annoys me.... aesthetics

I bought this iron as I thought the design looked great and was a bit fed up with the usual brands. When the iron arrived, I struggled to get it to work properly, not realising that the button under the handle has to be held in order to generate steam. The iron worked okay for a few months, but then stopped generating steam, it was also leaking quite badly (I'm not sure if this was from the tank fill up bit or not), I contacted Amazon support who advised that I would need to contact the manufacturer as it was out of the Amazon support period, which was fair enough. I contacted the Funky Iron company directly and after I provided a video of the malfunction, they sent a replacement iron, once received I had to send a photo of the old iron with the cord off, which I did. The replacement iron has now failed after 6 months, with the same issues as the previous one, so I'd say this is one to avoid.

I love the colour and funky retro design. The Iron is really well made, heavier than most other irons as the body is metal rather than plastic. The 3 metre cable is also much longer than others I have purchased.It's comfortable in the hand, heats up quickly and delivers powerful, continuous steam, particularly on the 3 dot setting, with no drips or leaks. Perfect for ironing my shirts.

Its powerful burst steam makes it easier to fly through creases

I’ve had my new Funky Iron for a month now and I have to say that I really like it. This iron has an extra long power cord at 3m which is very useful for a tall guy like me. I also like not having to top up the water tank regularly as the iron has a large water tank (450ml). It produces a great amount of steam and copes with all of my clothes and linen. I also really like the Funky look, so all in all, I would definitely recommend this iron. Oh and the complimentary heat resistant silicone pad to rest the iron on the ironing board is a great freebie!!!
