Russell Hobbs 24420 Steam Generator Iron, Series 1, 2400 W, Black/White

Would recommend it strongly

Works great

Early days with this relatively cheap steam generator, which from our experience of using them suggests that even the models costing upwards of £300 do not last as long as a decent steam iron. It does work quite well and presses clothes as well as this type of item does. Steam output is good and the whole unit feels as though it is robustly made and should be durable. It is easy to use, has decent power and steam cords and all around seems a good item.

Bought this for my wife to replace an older steam iron which was past its best! She is delighted with this Russell Hobbs steam iron and finds it easy to use and very effective.

It came with only an american plug, not an australian one.

I recently upgraded to the Russell Hobbs Steam Power Generator Iron and it has been a fantastic addition to my laundry routine. As someone who does a lot of ironing, I was looking for a high-performance iron that could make the task easier, and this model definitely delivers. First off, the 1.3L removable water tank is a huge plus. It’s easy to fill and doesn’t need frequent refilling, which is great for large loads of ironing. I’ve used it for several hours straight, and it never runs out of steam. The iron's steam output is powerful and consistent, making quick work of even the most stubborn wrinkles. I love the ceramic soleplate—it glides smoothly over all types of fabric, and it’s non-stick, so I don’t have to worry about it leaving marks or getting caught on clothes. The iron heats up really fast too, so there’s no waiting around for long. One feature that has truly impressed me is the steam pressure. It provides a powerful burst of steam that helps smooth out tough creases in just one pass, which makes ironing so much quicker. The continuous steam function is also really handy for ongoing work, especially on larger items like bed linens or curtains. While the iron is a bit larger than my previous one, the powerful steam output and ease of use make it worth it. It’s easy to store the iron, and the design is sleek and modern, so it doesn’t feel out of place in my laundry room. Overall, the Russell Hobbs Steam Power Generator Iron has exceeded my expectations. It’s powerful, efficient, and makes ironing much less of a chore. If you’re looking for an iron that offers excellent performance, I highly recommend this one.
