Russell Hobbs Steam Power Generator Iron Review

The Russell Hobbs Steam Power Generator Iron is a high pressure steam generator. It has, depending on the model, 90-100g steam output per minute, a ceramic soleplate for effective steam distribution, and three steam settings which deliver optimal results. The pressure is 4.5 bar, which results in creases being smoothed out with ease.

We particularly like the anti-scale purification system. It's capable of flushing out limescale, as well as reducing its build up. There's a removable water tank. It has a large 1.3 litre capacity to minimise the number of refills needed. There are also a series of buttons which light up to indicate whether the power is on, whether a de-scale is required, and whether the water needs refilling.

Specification

We now take a look at the features:

• Ceramic Soleplate - The soleplate is made from a ceramic material. Ceramic is great for such applications as it resists scratching and allows for smooth strokes.
• High Performance - The iron outputs 90-100g of steam per minute, depending on the model. Such a high output allows it to remove creases with ease. The iron is capable of heating up in 60 seconds.
• Indicators - There are three indicators, one for power, one for refilling and one for de-scaling.
• Anti-Scale Purification - There's an in-built anti-scale system which filters the water before it reaches the tank. It also helps prevent the build up of limescale.
• Removable Water Tank - The water tank has a generous 1.3 litres. It can be removed for refilling.
• Automatic Shut Off - When left inactive for too long, the iron will switch itself off for safety purposes.
• Easy Storage - To facilitate easy transportation and storage, the iron has carry handles, and can be stored upright on its heel.
