Russell Hobbs Pearl Glide Review

The Russell Hobbs Pearl Glide Steam Iron is a high output, well designed steam iron with a beautiful pearl effect housing. It's available in two colour schemes - Dusk (pictured) and Champagne. One feature of interest is the vertical steam capability. Hanging curtains, duvets, bed sheets, and suits for example can be ironed without needing an ironing board.

The continuous steam output is 40g per minute, with a 150g per minute boost button for tougher creases, and 2600W of power. The water tank's capacity is 315ml. Such a large volume means fewer refills needed. The soleplate is made from an advanced ceramic material which is non-stick, durable and facilitates a smooth and easy glide.
