Bosch TDI9020GB Sensixx´x DI90 AntiShine Compact Steam Generator

I hate ironing but after buying this, life is a whole lot easier. Still not a big fan of ironing but it doesn't fill me with the same dread anymore. This iron glides over creased items with ease removing creases very quickly. The tank does empty a little quicker than standard irons but due to its speed and efficient ironing you get more items ironed between each fill. Leave it in ECO mode and you get plenty of steam to iron lots of items. I've only had to set it to max once or twice for excessively creased items but ECO mode still gives excellent results. Not noisy at all as some people seem to think. It's a steam generator so obviously you get a buzzing as the motor is working but it's hardly loud. I watch TV while ironing and haven't had to turn the volume up. I'd say about twice as loud as the buzz you get from a fridge. The weight is a little more than a standard iron but not excessive. Spent just over an hour doing a huge pile of ironing without any aches or pains in my arm. I like the fact it's heavier as my last irons steam was so feeble I had to push down on the iron to remove creases, this iron you just move around the item with ease and creases are gone in seconds. In conclusion this is an amazing iron and well worth the price. Top quality solid build with all the functions and features you need and exactly what you would expect from Bosch. More than highly recommended.

I keep it on 'eco' and it doesn't matter what I am ironing it is at the perfect temp. There is just the right amount of gentle steam constantly and oodles of gushing steam as and when I call for it. I do a lot of dressmaking and once I have turned the iron on I just leave it on until I have finished my sewing session - it goes to 'sleep' and comes back in as soon as I touch the handle and a few seconds later we are in business again - just like magic? At first I had it on the main steam-generating mode but found myself almost in a sauna and well steamed up windows - too much steam for my needs hence the move to the 'eco' mode which is absolutely perfect. The steam generator unit is incorporated inside the iron body as opposed to the usual type which has an external generator and water tank which has to sit close by you then you have to put up with the steam supply tube from the tank to the iron as well as the electric cable - very cumbersome and I wouldn't go back to that sort again. It can be left on the fabric of the ironing board and will not burn it. I keep a filling cup full of de-ironised/de-mineralised water close by on the window ledge so it's easy to top up as and when needed. Topping up is simple, just flip the cap open and top up at any time, but you need to have the iron standing at an angle so the water water trickles in via the back wall of the filling area - if the iron is standing flat I found the water runs out where the cap is hinged and gets air bubbles which stop the filling flow. Obviously it uses more water than other regular steam irons but that's because it is giving me a better supply of steam. I only use de-ironised/de-mineralised water which is easily available very cheaply in B&Q or Asda. I do not put any tap water in this iron. I suppose the internal generator probably adds to the weight of the iron but not to any extent that I have noticed. I would not swap this iron for any other!!

finally one of the manufacturers has designed a proper motorised steam generator iron without the huge cumbersome base (it doesnt leak either, which is a bonus!). the iron heats up almost instantly and the functions are genuinely useful. it has a sensor so it automatically switches off if it hasnt been used for a while. solid piece of kit and is very good quality as you would expect for the price. my only negative comments are that its pretty heavy so if youve got a lot of ironing to do, be prepared to end up with repetitive strain injury afterwards! i can iron 3 shirts with it on Eco mode before it runs out of water, so have a water top-up to hand otherwise it gets annoying walking back and forth to the tap. in its favour its a fantastic iron - i dont enjoy ironing at all, so for me anything that gets the job done quickly is worth the money, and this certainly does!!

WOW! This is it! The best iron I have ever had. I temp option is magic, you will no longer need heave base for your iron to have proper steam. Search is over! I do get it it’s a little expensive for normal iron but when you compare it with the price of the iron with the steam generator base, it’s a fraction of the cost! If you need very good versatile iron with perfect steam this Bosch TDI9020GB is the iron you need. I had many irons before and none of them (even different models from Bosch) were good enough as this one.

I was so very nearly put off buying this iron after reading the reviews about it being too noisy, too heavy, too thirsty and too leaky, but I can honestly say I do not agree with any of the above. It's quite substantial in the hand, but not awkwardly so. It doesn't leak one bit and of course it's going to require more than average water, it's a stream generating iron. The noise is nowhere near as bad as others have highlighted, but the steam generator does make a slight noise in use but it's not that obtrusive. Where this does product does excel is the speed in which it heats up and the numerous options to get great results - quickly! The colour way and plastic 'metallic' finish feels a little cheap and tacky, but it's an iron after all, the finished results speak for themselves. Highly recommended!

Love everything about this iron. This is a replacement for my previous much used Bosch iron which was the same as this one. So pleased I was able to get another as the steam and heat this generates is fantastic and irons my clothes wonderfully. You can either have continuous steam or use the button underneath to control it yourself. Really really easy to use and highly recommended.
