Obviously not as good as dearer ones in that not much detail on the controls but as I just wanted a straight forward iron this hits the spot perfectly. Plus it didn't cost silly money.
ms b j monaghanAfter 100 uses you have to buy an anti- scale cartridge, bit if a con, as every other iron I have had, the anti- scale has been built in, and when needed cleaned the iron gave a warning, and all you had to do was put the iron on the iron shaped container and pressed a button and the iron cleaned itself
Maggie pI got this iron today and I honestly could not wait to write this! I love to iron, no shame, and this iron is super light weight but amazing! I previously had a Tefal similar one and it was so heavy I don’t know why I’ve not swapped sooner! Limescale filter and a second filter with removable water tank, easy storage and a plug space. Highly recommend!
Phillip JouleMy last steam iron was a hard one to follow, this iron was half the price but works just as good. Good price, easy to use.
KathyI bought this to replace a really expensive one I'd had for years. I didn't want to spend as much money this time and I actually prefer this one. It heats up quickly, very lightweight and easy to use and I love the way you can tidy the plug etc away
Amazon Customeri have just unpacked this iron andfilled it with water, waited a good amount of time for it to reach temperature.when pressing the steam button, their is a very long delay before it spurts out any steam.the most dangerous thing is,when pressing the steam button, it’s also leaking from beneath main unit.the water bottle is sealed in tight.it’s either faulty or it is just plain dangerous.i will definitely be asking for a replacement or my money back !very angry
Yiorgos ChristodoulouThe iron is ok and steam works well. It is little big in design and needs more space to store
ManishThis is the best iron I have ever owned! Irons all clothes easily and quickly. Steady stream of steam at all temperatures. It is very lightweight which is great if you have to iron a lot of items or you have problems with arthritis etc. The water tank is easy to fill and lasts ages. This iron makes ironing an actual pleasure rather than a chore.
niki orfanouWhen I started to research Steam Generator irons the price gap was incredible, ranging from £60 to £500 depending on brand! This really left me in the thought process, the sub £100 bracket should be avoided! However after reviewing the bank balance in the Covid-19 world I opted for this one! All I can say this iron packs one mighty punch. The iron generates generous amounts of steam, the water tank is huge and pretty much lasts a full basket, the iron gets blistering hot, pretty much everything you need in a iron! I like the fact it can be stored upright too! Also the iron comes with an additional 12 months warranty if you register the warranty, so you will have peace of mind for under £100 you will have a decent working iron for at least 2 years!For a fair and balanced review my only negatives are that the rubber clips that hold the iron in place when not in use could be tighter, the iron easily becomes loose when knocked, the steam isn’t instantaneous and you have to wait 1 second every time you push the steam button. However in fairness to Russell Hobbs, would I pay another £100+ to achieve a instantaneous steam output? Absolutely not as in my opinion! In all honestly each item takes 30 seconds to iron anyway!Well done Russell Hobbs!!!
Paul JenningsI was undecided if I should get another steam generator, I had one years ago that cost a fortune but then had an ordinary iron for the last few years! Wow am I glad I decided on this one, it hasn't yet had the test of time but irons brilliantly and for the cost is unbelievable!
B SINNETTBetter than my last one, easy to fill and the water trough lasts a good while, iron gets hot so easy to iron clothes, packing away is easy so it stores neatly, the cable length is good and the hose length perfect for us. Nice iron, would buy again
Jimmy LaycockOverall the product is good and very good value for money. There is a short delay from pressing the steam button and receiving the steam and there is overrun for quite a few seconds on the steam emissions after releasing the button which means it is ejecting steam after you have returned the iron to it's seat on the tank. Other than that my only gripe is the stupid sticky label on the side of the tank which leaves sticky residue on your new iron when it is peeled off. Why not use a vinyl tape label? Small thing but annoying none the less.
DISCERNING MIKE OF AXMINSTERI have used steam generator irons for years and have often paid much more than I did for this. My old one broke during lockdown and I needed a new replacement.Excellent value, easy to use and lightweight too.
JuliePresses well and heats up fairly rapidly. I love the fact you can turn it on or off at the base and not just at the plug. It’s sturdy and well made.
Tracey MajorBrilliant iron easy to use and easy to store my old iron wouldn't fit in my cupboard tidy so was harder to store this is great though and easily gets creases out of clothes
Amazon CustomerLove this iron. This is my second one and performs much better than the Morphy Richards one. Love the stainless steel sole plate.
Josee ParmleyI used to HATE ironing until I got this. After two colleagues recommended this at work, I decided to buy it. I was sceptical at first, but as soon as I used it I was surprised how mu h easier it makes ironing.I actually enjoy ironing now as it makes everything easy and quick to iron, and it all looks very smart and crease-free. It heats up quickly and produced lots of steam.Love that you can fill the tank up and it lasts for ages, haven't ran out of water yet. I use filtered water in it to avoid having to descale it.Would 100% recommend!
LisaI read some mixed reviews but decided to buy because I have had three irons of this type (not this make) before and all were more than twice the cost of this iron (all failed within a two year period so I was not going to spend very £150 again). You can rest the hot iron on the soft rubber mounts and the mounts do hold the iron in place BUT be careful when transporting from room to room. Steam is very good, water tank holds more than enough, heats up quick. I can recommend this iron.
Amazon CustomerWorks okay as an iron but the clips to rest it on the on the base are poor.The steam tube fits vertically into the back of the handle this means it catches on your wrist in use.Storage instructions say wrap the cable round the base but there is nothing there to keep it wrapped, or the cable is the wrong length for that to work as shown in fig B and to fit in the storage plug hole, so had to coil it up using an elastic band.The clip that is supposed to hold the steam tube for storage is useless it just pops out again.On the plus side I don't need to use it very often and it is cheap.
JakitsA few months into using this iron and I am very happy. It is quick to heat up and very easy to use. I used to have a really expensive Phillips one that was better but not much better considering the massive difference in cost. Good value alternative to the crazy expensive steam irons available to buy but still gives you the advantages of a good steam iron. I recommend.
