tefal steam iron virtuoso when used trips the electric?

i have an tefal steam iron as does my daughter. both of them cause all the electric in the house to trip. Please help me to sort this problem

The general case is that an iron that trips the house electrics has developed a fault - usually with the heating element - and the remedy is to throw it away and to buy a new iron.

You do not say if the iron has ever worked - and your scenario is made more complicated by the introduction of the second iron - are they independently failing in separate houses or does it take both of them in the same property to cause the trip? I assume the former in which case then it's a coincidence of similar failures.
