I use mine - a Singer - for table linens and curtains. I don't find it as useful for things like shirts.
I opted to buy a steam generator iron, because I couldn't imagine a steam press being too useful, for general ironing.
What brand? I've been considering getting one.
Me too.
I bought a Philips 8220 from Argos
It's wonderful. I run a bed & breakfast, so, on a 'good' day, I can have 5 quilt covers, sheets & pillow cases, 3 table cloths half a dozen napkins on top of normal ironing. It's a breeze even if stuff has been overdried and is a bit wrinkly. I really fancy a rotary iron like
Only downside it the intermittent pump noise as it maintains pressure.

Definately the way forward, you won't credit how well they iron things. We have a Steamworks from (IIRC Argos.
Would generally vouch for these too... we got one a couple of years ago, slight problem with heat-up times compared to a normal steam-iron, however, on a very odd occasion that we need to iron-and-go, and choose to use the conventional steam-iron it's pitiful by comparison to the steam generator. Both same make (Tefal), both pretty expensive (high-end of their respective ranges), but the steam-generator eats the steam-iron for breakfast.
Don't get me wrong - I hold no enthusiasm for ironing, but anything that makes this soul-destroying job easier has to be a good thing.
I bought a Russell Hobbs. Tesco's had discounted them by about £20. I'm not all that persuaded that they're a whole lot more efficient than a normal steam iron, although most of the olk I know who have them rave about the advantages...
I like the idea of the larger tank, and greater quantity of steam. I've not used one, though.
