The new Jet Stream Elite Pro Steam Generator from Morphy Richards is the Ferrari of the ironing world.

It’s big, it’s powerful and it looks the part. A high-performance product among all the old bangers.

The power comes from the flash boiler, which gives you steam on demand. It generates nearly three times the density of steam of an average domestic iron, plus gives you a constant steam rate.

This makes ironing easier and faster as even the worst creases are literally ironed out with no trouble at all.

The large 1.1 litre water tank allows you to get through a large load without the need for any refilling.

This is more than just an iron – use the steam generator to get creases out of bedding or freshen up a suit.

The Jet Stream Elite comes in a selection of colours but the black model is particularly stylish.

A useful bit of kit which comes with it is the anti-scale cartridge which prolongs the life expectancy – just as well, because at a penny shy of £150 this is a serious investment for an iron.

But you get what you pay for – and this would be money well spent.

It loses half a mark for its size - it is immense. And another half-mark for its noise - it's a beast. But overall this is a fine iron.
