Fancy looking iron that's pretty rubbish.

Even with the minimal amount of water in it the iron leaks when stood upright. Over designed with an annoying sound when you turn it on and it takes some time to learn which colour light means what. On its lowest setting you could iron a shirt while wearing it. Not entirely sure why an iron has a temperature setting that could be used to cool a baby's milk!

Great performance, design lacking

As far as ironing performance goes, this is great.the base of the iron is nice, haven't had any stickiness that you get with the stainless steel ones.However(!)I was surprised by some design points. First is the fact that if you fill the water even quite a bit below the max, it spurts out the spray hole when you're ironing - dangerous when the water's hot. Also you have to be careful not to touch temp button while ironing - tricky as the cord is so close to the other side of your hand.

Looks great and performs to the highest standadrd

I bought this after my previous iron wouldn't switch on. Its colour and design won me over and I wasn't disappointed with the performance. With the heat settings at the couch of a button and lights that change to the appropriate colour settings. The steam rate is adjustable and an option with an extra button for more max steam when in the max setting used for denim. It's also very light which some other products aren't. I highly recommend this product.

An excellent purchase

I’m really pleased with my Russell Hobbs iron and love the colour select feature for temperature rather than a dial. The only reasons I didn’t give 5 stars were that you can’t use steam on lower temperatures (but I guess I’ll get used to that ) and the ridiculously tiny water jug for such a generous water tank.

Dissapointing

After reading so many good reviews I thought I'd got a bargain with this iron. Was disappointed to learn that steam is not available on the first two heat settings and it didn't iron as good as my previous iron. After a couple of uses the water spray decided not to work and water started pouring out of the hotplate. Packed it up and returned for a refund.

Nice smooth ironing plate, liking the colour coding once I got used to it. No problems with the heating up and cooling down. Long lead and easy to use. Would recommend.

Look slick works just as well!

Price is very good The iron it's self is probably the best corded iron I've used for functionality, quality and ease of use, heats up quick to a good heat too, very good steam and the control makes it very easy to use with peace of mind whereas the old dial method I used to get a little worried is it too hot... So I'd spend more time adjusting the heat setting bit by bit after burning a few items of course lol...

Works well.

Great iron. Lighter than my previous one that only lasted 7 months. Let’s hope this lasts longer. The colour coded heat settings are great (but I keep forgetting to set it when I switch the iron on, do then have to wait for it to heat up again once I’ve realised!! ) Better than my old iron as I kept touching the dial whilst using and it would alter the temperature by accident- this is much more efficient. Great design and reasonably priced. Happy so far!

Great, affordable iron

Have only used the iron 4 times (so it's still early days), but so far, so great. Pros: Excellent price, easy to use (colour-coding system for temperature is great once I figured it out), and steaming function has worked a treat. Have tested it on a wide variety of clothing/fabrics (including delicates like silk, denim clothing, etc.), and it's done great across the board. All in all, 5/5 product. At this point, would recommend to others to definitely buy.

Didn’t realise the settings were coloured

I assumed the heat setting would also be numbered as well as coloured. The colours don’t bear resemblance to heat. Eg blue cold orange medium and then red meaning hot. But this iron is random colours so every time I use it I have to refer to the instructions to work out medium to high setting (green/purple) Heats up fast and glides over clothes. The steam button is in an awkward position but that doesn’t really matter. I wouldn’t recommend it especially if you are colour blind!

The iron is great would definitely recommend

Definitely value for money better than I expected would definitely recommend. Only down fall the iron settings meaning its colour coded like blue for cotton and purple for denim but if you can't remember what the colours codes are you have to go look on instructions instead if they did put on iron blue for cotton etc etc etc would be better, apart from that it's a great iron better than a more expensive one I've brought before and never lasted long and never heated up and irons as good as this.

It works as an iron should

This is a fairly straight forward iron, with the benefit of using an illuminated strip to show you what setting it is on. It works fine and I don't know why anyone would want to pay more for an iron. It is reasonably heavy to press clothes without being too heavy to lift. It holds plenty of water, and performs well. Can't fault it.

This iron is a lovely design

Lightweight iron, good cord length, good sole plate . Very annoying having to press the button to adjust it at the different temperatures , there is no dial to select the temperature for the Garment you are about to iron. Water fill chamber is small. The speed of the iron on steam for cotton is excellent and I can iron creases out very quickly. And get through loads of ironing in little time. Overall good price shame about the design.

We have owned this same model of Russell Hobbs for the last three years. We live in a hard water area of the South East. The iron gave reliable, efficient service throughout. The heating element was in good condition when control of the steam release failed. Even with this fault the iron was still usable and that is why we chose the identical iron as replacement.

Having had a previous Russell Hobbs iron I had no hesitation in purchasing another. I am not disappointed with this iron, it does however have a couple of niggles.Where the cord joins the iron it does tend to catch on the wrist, it is quite heavy compared with my previous model. The good things are a larger water tank meaning less topping up on a big load and the steam is very effective overall I would recommend this model.

Pretty good as irons go

Bought this while my steamer is being repaired and found it does the job well. It is quite pretty woth the coloured settings and the water lasts ages even one little container worth lasts a few days. The jet of steam is powerful and it glides well. Doesn't take too long to heat and overall I'm impressed. I'll never go back to an iron after having a steam press but this is the next best thing for a good price.

Heats up really quick and stream is good

This was a snap decision purchase as my iron broke and I needed one fast. I can honestly say it's the best iron I've ever had. If you haven't ironed before it's perfect for you as the lights system means that you just check the label on the clothing and alter the setting at the push of a button, no guess work like with a dial. Highly recommended product

First iron I have used without a temp control dial and was not disappointed. Strange to hear the iron beeping as I chose the correct temp. As recommened in the instructions iron all clothes which need a cooler temp first, if you start off on high heat you have to go through the settings again for the cool one. Be careful when holding the iron as my hand has accidentally touched the heat control button and changed the temp on a few occasions. Getting used to it now and would definitely recommend.
