Me iron has died. Buggrit!
Need new tank irone. *NOT* going back to 'normal' steam irons. Not no
way, nohow. No. Geddit? Good.
Can't afford a Polti yet.
The one that does was an el cheapo job from Aldi, made by/for Delta, and
it cost the princely sum of £38! It did 3 years slave labour, sometimes
being under pressure for as long as 15 hours in a day, so I can't
complain. I really need another just like it as a stop-gap, until a few
of these big projects pay off.
Ideally:
Stainless steel sole plate
Large tank capacity
High steam output
Variable steam output from zero up
Good non-steam work too...
I know it's like buying a sewing machine, and you get what you pay for,
but this really is a stop-gap while I save up.
Help? Need to be able to get it here in the UK. I'm off to have a look
for cheap steam generator irons!

I note from a quick google that the morphy rochards 42274 is half price
at comet at the moment just under £80 Looks like an ok model it has the
seperate tank, which I am loving as a new feature on my new Kroning model.
Have fun looking

That looks good, but if I was going that far up the chain, I'd just
spring for the cheapest Polti... I need a £40 job that will do a few
months until I can save up for one of these:

Just FYI, we use our steam iron system here 5 days a week, 8 hours a
day and it has been running for 6 years now. If it breaks down, we
send it back and they fix it for us. Not cheap, but for this kind of
longevity, I KNOW it is worth it. I have the same unit at home -
purchased at the same time as our "work" one and it has never needed
service - of course I don't get to use it as much as I want to!
Here's the link to read more about it. I imagine they'll ship to UK
(the company is in USA).
