A pressurized boiler () for a steam generator appliance comprises an evaporation chamber (), an electric heater () in good thermal contact with a wall () of the evaporation chamber (), a water inlet () arranged in a cover () of the evaporation chamber () separate from said wall (), and a pump in fluid communication with the water inlet () arranged to supply water to the evaporation chamber () through the water inlet ().

Electric steam generation

A steam generating appliance such as an electric iron comprises a base unit and a hand-held mobile unit which can be releasably coupled to the base unit. The base unit comprises a reservoir for water and a pump for pumping water from the reservoir into the mobile unit when the mobile unit is coupled to the base unit. The mobile unit comprises a boiler and an on-board reservoir for water, wherein the on-board reservoir is adapted to store water received from the base unit under pressure and to deliver the water to the boiler under the control of a user-operable valve.

Hand-held steam appliances

An electric beverage maker includes a lower, water boiling vessel, a funnel extending into the lower vessel and having an upper compartment for receiving a beverage, and an upper vessel mounted over the funnel to receive water which has passed up the funnel through the compartment, and from which the beverage is dispensed. The lower vessel is formed with an opening in its lower region, which is closed by a thick film electric heater. The heater is controlled by a control which operates to disable the heater until such time as the control is reset manually by a user.
