Russell Hobbs Absolute Steam Iron Review

The Russell Hobbs Absolute Steam Iron is a high power steam iron capable of working on both delicate and hard-wearing fabrics. It has a continuous steam output of 30g per minute, and a boost of 150g per minute to tackle tougher creases. There's also a water spray function which dampens fabrics beforehand to help the iron remove creases easier.

The soleplate is made from ceramic. Its holes are spaced in order to provide an even distribution of steam for a more consistent performance. It comes equipped with self-cleaning and anti-calc mechanisms which filter impurities such as limescale. For peace of mind, the iron will shut itself off if it's left idle for too long.
