if you do a fair bit of ironing then I would highly recommend getting a cordless one.
I couldn't tell you which brand was better than the next but trust me on the cordless one. They're not that expensive and it makes it sooo much easier when you're not getting tangled up in the cord all the time
I would recomend a press type one, they are magic try Argos catalogue or Singer but there ate others and so fast, plus you sit down to use it, the reason you get so tired ironing is because you are standing up.
