Russell Hobbs 21370 Review

The Russell Hobbs Steam Glide Professional Steam Iron is a high performance product with a fast heat up time and a high degree of power. It has a continuous steam output of 45g per minute, and a 145g per minute boost for tougher and more ingrained creases. To facilitate faster ironing, there's a spray function which dampens clothes before they're ironed in order to allow for faster crease removal.

The soleplate is made from a smooth ceramic material for easy gliding and increased longevity. The iron is capable of performing a self-clean in order to remove impurities such as limescale. The 300ml water tank is large and means less refills are required. In addition to use on an ironing board, the iron also works vertically on hanging fabrics such as clothes and curtains. It means creases can be removed from curtains without them having to be taken down, therefore saving you time.

In addition to the steam output, there's a spray function. It pre-moistens fabrics to allow for tougher creases to be removed without issue.

• Self-Cleaning - The iron cleans itself as it goes, removing impurities such as limescale. This helps to extend its operational lifespan.
• Stable Heel - The iron's heel is stable so as to protect against toppling. It also makes the iron secure to store.
