Sainsbury's Iron

[koster]

Has anyone bought the iron which Sainsbury's sell for about �3.99?

I don't know much about irons, is it any good?

Well over twelve months ago I bought a Steam Iron from Sainsbury's for a similarly ridiculous price (can't remember the actual price but it was around about a fiver) and it's still performing O.K.

Anthing electrical from Supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda, Morrison's etc., will meet E.C. standards and all the necessary electrical safety requirements...........Ron

I had a fairly expensive steam iron, which I bought ages ago, until very recently. The hard water around here finally put it out of action, so I had to buy a new one. With very limited funds available, I thought that I'd try the Tesco value model (which cost around �4). I certainly wasn't expecting much from it but it's far better than the expensive one ever was. (It's lighter, distributes the steam more evenly and makes ironing seem much less of a chore).

The Sainsbury's one is probably just as good. (It might even be the same model under a different brand name). However, if you're still in doubt, I recommend getting a 'Value' steam iron from Tesco.

I can't comment on the iron but I bought a Sainsburys Basics handheld blender for �4 recently and was surprised at how good and sturdy it was! I would happily have paid �30 for the same item had I not known what it cost.
