With a similar power output to high-end Tefal models, which can cost up to £300, Lidl's version is nearly £250 cheaper at £49.99.
The Tower model heats up in just 35 seconds and features an 80g/min continuous steam output with three-bar steam pressure, letting you power through shirts, trousers and even curtains.
It's also got a large 1.2L water tank, vertical steam setting for hanging garments, self-cleaning function, and ceramic double soleplate for extra smooth glide across all fabrics.
While Tefal's flagship Pro Express Vision offers higher steam pressure, fancy LED lights, and automatic steam release, it will set you back up to £400.
Curry's currently sells it for £299.99, which makes Lidl's version £249.99 cheaper.
Curry's also stocks the Tower steam generator iron for £60, which is £10 more expensive than what Lidl is selling it for.
It's always worth shopping around and comparing prices to make sure you're getting the most value for money.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Lidl's customers are thrilled with the results.
One buyer said: 'This iron is amazing. Lightweight and easy to use. Cuts through the ironing pile with ease.'
Another raved: 'Really good design and functionality was spot on.'
While a third praised the price tag, adding: 'Compared to more well-known brand names, it has some great features.'
I tried 'magic' Lidl garden hose - you need to get it, it's perfect for summer
The model number to look out for is T22023GLD, and it comes with a three-year warranty, giving shoppers extra peace of mind.
Meanwhile, it's not the only dupe Lidl is stocking this summer.
The Silvercrest Air Fryer, priced at £49.99, has been hailed as a cheaper alternative to the £200 Ninja version.
The Monsieur Cuisine Smart, at £399.99, is a fan favourite and often compared to the high-end Thermomix which can cost more than £1,000.
The Silvercrest Cordless Vacuum, on sale for £59.99, has drawn comparisons to the Dyson V8, with many praising its strong suction and lightweight design.
It comes as the budget-retailer brought out its Peppa Pig ride on suitcases, perfect for kids this summer.

Amazon reduces 'exceptional' £200 smart to £40 in early Prime Day deal
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is just around the corner - but there are deals already available for Prime members Amazon has reduced an 'impressive' smart watch shoppers say has an "exceptional battery life." The retailer has dropped prices on a range of products ahead of Prime Day 2025, which runs from July 8 to 11. The online retailer has discounted the Soudorv Smart Watch, dropping the price from £199.99 to £39.99 for Prime members. The watch features Bluetooth call, 24/7 heart rate and sleep monitor, smart notifications and activity trackers. It also has a pedometer function, more than 130 sport modes, an alarm clock, stopwatch and timer. There's also music and camera control functions, weather forecast and a sedentary reminder. The watch has a 1.43'' AMOLED display, which the Amazon description says offers "vibrant visuals with enhanced resolution." The product links to the FitCloudPro app, with more than 250 dial styles to choose from, or shoppers can customise their screens with their own photos. Alternatively, Selfridges offers the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 smart watch for £59, while Curry's has the FITBIT Versa 4 Smart Watch - Waterfall Blue & Platinum for £179. H. Samuel also stocks the Reflex Active Series 42 Amoled Ultra Slim for £65. The Soudorv Smart Watch has racked up rave reviews online, with a rating of 4.8 stars. Among them, one person said: "The built quality of this smart watch is quite exceptional. I love the large screen, which is not only bright, but also very smooth and has fast response. "The connection was easy and straightforward. So far, the data is accurate especially the steps counter. The battery life is commendable. On fully charged, it can go for 8 days on moderate usage. Overall, it's a great watch for the price." A second wrote: "For the price, this smartwatch is actually pretty impressive. It connects easily to both Android and iPhone, and I love that I can make and answer calls right from my wrist—super convenient when my phone's buried in my bag. "It tracks steps, workouts, and sleep well enough for everyday use, and the screen is a nice size: not too big, not too small. It's not a high-end smartwatch, but if you're looking for something affordable that covers the basics and looks good doing it, this is a solid pick." However, they did add that they'd had an issue with the watch. They wrote: "I have one issue with it, when away from my phone for more that 10 minutes it doesn't automatically reconnect, annoying, but I can live with it, hopefully the developer will fix that with a firmware update." Another disappointed shopper said "Not a bad watch for its price 40$, it's a pity there is no always on display and in rare cases the screen may not light up when you raise your hand somewhere 1 out of 15 times. "There is also a camera icon here, but when you press it, nothing happens except vibration. Maybe it will work with some Android, but it doesn't work on an iPhone. It's perfect for a gift." Despite this, many shoppers continued to praise the watch. One person said: "I like this watch as it looks more like a normal watch, but has all the features of a smart watch. Battery life is the most exceptional thing about it, I wore it 24 hours a day and the battery lasted FIFTEEN DAYS. "I also like that there is a second configurable button on the side, two different options can be set for short or long press. The smart options cover everything you need, and lots I don't need." Another added: "Received this on April 30th, it's now May 6th and the battery is on 82%. I can't believe how long it has lasted! The watch looks good and has so many features - I particularly like the option to make my phone ring when I can't find it. "There are many different sport activities to track and the sleep tracker is really useful. I also like the cool choice of faces that come preinstalled. By far the best smart watch I have owned. I would seriously pay 3 times the listed price for this item, it really is that good."
