Close behind in second place was the Philips GC8220 with 85%, although an rrp of £180, it's in a different price league to the £45 Tefal iron.

It's stable mate, the Philips GC7230 came third with 84%, while the Bosch TDA8339GB Sensixx Comfort Protect and the Philips GC3332 EasyCare models came joint fourth with 73%.
