http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/laundry-and-cleaning/reviews/steam-irons/steamworks-signature-kb-152/review/
The Steamworks Signature KB-152 is a cheap steam iron that has most of the features you'll find on pricier models. It has a stainless steel soleplate rather than a more expensive ceramic one, but does this hamper its ability to glide over clothes? Our full review reveals our verdict.

Tank capacity (ml)
Manufacturers claimed water capacity. If no capacity is claimed we list our measured capacity.
Cord length (m)
Cord length from plug to iron. For steam generators this is the length of the cord from the plug to the tank.
Weight of iron (kg)
For steam irons this is the weight of the iron with a full tank of water. For generators it's the weight of just the iron, not the water tank.
Auto shut-off
This is a safety feature that switches an iron off automatically if it's left unattended for a period of time.
Anti-calcium cartridge
Irons with a 'yes' have anti-calcium cartridges that will need to be replaced periodically.
Steaming time per fill (mins)
How long you can steam for continuously on the highest steam setting before needing to refill the tank. Time given in minutes.
