Bosch TDS6080GB Serie 6 ProHygienic Steam Generator, 1.5 Litre, 2400W - Purple/White

I have had Bosch steam generators before. I do about 7-10hrs ironing a week and my last one lasted 5 years. That’s good for me.What I like:1. I can change the temperature myself! No amount of sales pitch can assure me that automatic temp control will work on a garment; irons can’t see what fabric they are about to land on, so to my mind, they aren’t hot enough as you put them down. I iron a lot of linen and cotton shirts. I want that temperature.2. I love the temp setting dial on the base unit.I love that it has an ‘intelligent’ setting if you want it, but that’s a choice, not a given.3. I like that the water tank is visible without having to judge from some tube filled with condensation4. I like that it holds a lot of water.5. I like that it has a groovy lighting on the ‘handset’ to show its up to temp6. I like how it beeps when ready and beeps when in standby/ after 8 mins. It’s really easy and quick to come back up to temp or reach a lower temp.7. I like that it’s quite heavy- just a personal belief that it flattens stuff better.8. It doesn’t have a hissy fit when first used. ie, it doesn’t shoot out water all over the first item you iron. It doesn’t drip and leak.This review is done 2 weeks in. My first tryout, it kept turning itself off. Literally, between every garment- 30 seconds of folding something and it had turned off. Not sure why. I almost sent it back. But since then, it’s worked a dream. I may have pressed that water fill button or fidgeted with something first time round, or maybe it just needed to get to know me 😉 because it works brilliantly now.

Replaced previous stream generator iron which weighed a ton! This one is much easier to carry and store.

It didn't work properly, wouldn't produce steam and kept constantly asking for water to be refilled even though full and beeping, so sent back as faulty.Shame because these iron's are great but sadly no longer made.

I ordered this Bosch model to replace a Philips steam generator that had given reasonable use for several years. The Bosch was chosen because of the ability to select different heat settings as well as an 'automatic' setting. Operation is easy and there is a good size water tank and steam pressure is impressive.I would have preferred a removable tank for ease of re-filling but it isn't a major inconvience.

The locking clip to fix iron safely broke within 2 days of use, the spring kept jumping out and having reinserted it haveto be very careful to make sure it has clipped. Very disappointing for an iron costing this amount of money.!The actual iron itself is very good and ironing is less of a ch

Great features, lock , lightweight and so easy to use

I never thought I'd say an iron was cool, but this is a cool iron. Love the space-age flashing lights when it's warming up. Ironing is now my 2nd favourite hobby in my otherwise fun-filled life... ;)

Fantastic, the best ever iron/steam generator. I’ve had so many, but this is the best. It’s a pleasure doing the ironing.
