Russell Hobbs One Temperature Steam Iron Review

The Russell Hobbs One Temperature Steam Iron is a modern and practical steam iron by Russell Hobbs. Its most notable feature is its One Temperature functionality. As such, there are no manual temperature settings - everything is handled automatically by the iron. You can therefore iron denim and then silk straight after without having to change the iron's settings.

There are other useful features too. The soleplate differs to the standard ceramic soleplate found on most other irons. This one is ceramic with a titanium and tourmaline infusion. It provides a 60% smoother glide in comparison. The steam output is a continuous 50g per minute, with a 210g per minute boost to remove tougher and more ingrained creases.

Specification

The features are as follows:

• One Temperature - As mentioned above, the One Temperature feature ensures that both tough and delicate fabrics can be ironed without having to adjust the settings. It achieves this by separating the heating element and the soleplate by 2mm. It's a very useful feature as you can iron denim, then silk, then denim again straight after - no pre-sorting of washing is required.
• Soleplate - The soleplate is made from ceramic with a titanium and tourmaline infusion. Russell Hobbs tested this soleplate and found that it provided a 60% smoother glide than standard ceramic.
• Output - The continuous steam output is 50g per minute. The steam boost is 210g per minute.
• Self-Cleaning - The iron cleans itself as it goes, filtering impurities such as limescale.
• Anti-Drip - The design of the iron is such that it doesn't drip and cause water marks.
• Large Water Tank - The water tank has a large capacity of 350ml. More clothes can therefore be ironed between refills.
• Automatic Shut Off - The iron automatically switches itself off when left idle.
