Having read through various reviews, both positive and negative, I decided to give the Russell Hobbs Power Steam Ultra Iron a shot. I’m delighted with my choice! After using this iron for a few months, I can safely say it’s the best iron I’ve ever owned.
The iron glides effortlessly over clothes, making the task of ironing much more enjoyable. The steam function is fantastic and works incredibly fast, with a powerful 210g steam shot and a continuous 70g steam output. The 3m cord length is just right, providing enough reach without getting in the way.
One of my favourite features is the ceramic non-stick soleplate; nothing sticks to it, ensuring a smooth ironing experience every time. The wide water compartment is a brilliant design – it opens fully, making it easy to fill without any risk of spillage. The anti-drip function prevents any unwanted water spots on my clothes, which is a huge plus.
The controls are straightforward and intuitive, making it easy to use right out of the box. The safety feature, where an alarm sounds if you leave the iron face down for too long, is a thoughtful touch. Despite being quite heavy, the iron feels solid and well-made, reminiscent of durable products from the past.
Overall, this iron offers excellent value for money. It’s robust, efficient, and a pleasure to use. The fast delivery and secure packaging from Amazon only added to the positive experience. I highly recommend the Russell Hobbs Power Steam Ultra Iron to anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality iron.
Having researched the best steam irons, I went ahead and bought this top rated one. It fulfills everything you need, great bursts of steam, glides effortlessly and has a decent length of line so that you’re not stuck plugged in tight to the wall! Decent value for money the only drawback could be that it is quite heavy, but in my mind that’s an advantage - no need to go back and forth in the same spot. I love it and recommend it highly.
I'm writing this review after using the iron a few times.. I find it’s best to capture first impressions with items like this as I tend to get used to odd quirks and start to work around them
What works well
# IRONING CAPABILITY - Seems very good - hot temp works well, glides well, notch for use around buttons is useful - initial finish on clothes is good. # WEIGHT - The iron is towards the heavy end of what's available - I like this! - It sounds as if the weight might require more effort to use, but I actually find having to apply more downward pressure using a light iron harder work than sliding a heavier one from side to side. # SPEED TO HEAT - the 3100W makes a difference - it's right up to top temp in a matter of seconds - this works well for me as the thing I iron most of are cotton shirts .. I actually iron very little on a low setting. # STEAM - This feature works well - but it's not a big one for me. As mentioned on the box when it arrives the iron will have a little water residue in it where the steam / spray function has been tested. I actually prefer to use a separate water spray bottle as in the past I've found water reservoirs eventually get a bit grubby and will occasionally leave a spot on a shirt (always at the end when you've ironed the whole thing!) I prefer to keep the iron clean and dry and apply water as I go using a simple garden spray bottle.
What could be better
# HANDLE - While this is ok I did find the steam buttons at the front of the handle got in the way a little - not to the point where it was a real problem, but it just made the handle a little less comfortable than it could have been # COILING CABLE - This is a little annoying - there is nowhere to coil the cable around the iron after use - having said that I often leave mine out in a spare room.. but not great if you need the space and want to keep it out the way - also think irons left out are extremely dangerous re small kids or pets .. so ability to coil the cable would be useful.
OVERALL I like it so far - it feels substantial heats up quickly and irons well.
The best iron ever. The capacity of the water tank is good, the intensity and amount of steam perfect, it has an ideal weight to iron any type of material even very thick, the material from which the sole is made is very fine, resistant and non-sticky. I adore this iron and it fully satisfies me, being a person who really likes to iron all the laundry.
Ordered a different Russell Hobbs model previous to this one which I was not happy with. Returned to Amazon and replaced it with this model. Absolutely delighted with the iron! It has a large reservoir, long cord and produces continuous steam when required. The iron is slightly heavier than most but I prefer this as it seems to remove creases easily. The cord doesn't wrap round the iron after use but I wasn't worried about this as I am conscious of the safety aspect of twisting the cord. If there was any criticism at all, Russell Hobbs could perhaps make the cord from a more flexible material but would still recommend it as this is only a personal issue. Happy ironing!
Easy to use. Looks expensive and works as expected, therefore good value for money. Irons quite smoothly and the tank seems to not run out too quick, I WFH so don't often daily but my wife is quite happy with it compared to our last iron. It's a little on the heavy side but has a good handle/grip.
It irons well but I would expect that. Strong steam shot. Slow to heat up and doesn't keep to temperature very well. Difficult to fill for a R. Handed person and the mark showing where the temperature is set is difficult to see. While the long cord is a great feature there is nothing to keep it wrapped round the iron when storing so I end up with cable falling out of the cupboard every time the door is opened; the way the cord exits from the body of the iron is arkwardly placed too - it keeps knocking against the wrist when in use. I will keep it if only because it was a good price but it is not the best 5 irons that I have had previously.
