If you've ever knocked something over with an iron cable or found it dragging across a shirt you'd just pressed, a cordless iron is worth a look. The Tower CeraGlide T22008 is a 2-in-1: use it with the cord when you need constant power, or iron cordless from its charging base.

How cordless ironing works
When cordless, the iron heats up on its base. You lift it off to iron, then rest it back on the base between strokes so it can top up its heat. It takes a little getting used to, but most people soon find a rhythm.
Corded or cordless?
- Cordless is great for shirts and dresses where you're moving around the garment a lot.
- Corded is better for long sessions and thick fabrics like linen and heavy cotton, where you want constant heat and steam.
Important: switch it off at the plug
This iron does not have an automatic shut-off. Always switch it off at the plug and unplug it as soon as you finish, and never leave it unattended while it's on.
Tips
- Sort clothes by fabric and start with the coolest setting.
- Use the steam shot for stubborn creases.
- Run the self-clean regularly in hard water areas.
- Empty the water tank after use.
Frequently asked questions
Does it stay hot enough when cordless?
Resting it on the base between strokes keeps it topped up. For long, heavy sessions, use it corded.
Is it lighter than a corded iron?
With no cable pulling on it, many people find it easier to move around, especially on shirts.
