About this product
Meet the Russell Hobbs Colour Control Pro Steam Iron, your reliable partner for tackling everything from delicate silk blouses to stubborn denim jeans. What sets this 2400W iron apart is its clever digital colour display that changes from blue to red, showing you exactly when the temperature is spot-on for whatever fabric you're pressing. Ready in under 30 seconds from switching on, it delivers a powerful 45g per minute continuous steam and an impressive 185g per minute steam shot to blast through wrinkles on cotton, linen, synthetics and heavier materials with ease.
The non-stick ceramic soleplate glides smoothly across fabrics without snagging, while the variable steam function lets you adjust power to suit your ironing. The 380ml water tank means fewer refills, and the anti-drip system keeps garments spotless without water marks. The vertical steam function freshens curtains or hanging clothes, and the self-clean function ensures long-lasting performance. Weighing 1.3kg with a 2.5m power cord and auto shut-off for peace of mind, this iron includes a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee when registered online.

Lightweight, easy-to-use iron with effective steam and smooth gliding. Colour-coded temperature control is praised, though many find the dark water tank hard to read. Overall great value and comfortable for extended use.

A great all rounder iron for the price I paid
I'm really pleased with my new Russell Hobbs iron. The steam output is great & makes ironing so much easier. I also love the different colours which indicate which heat level you require. All in all a great purchase for the price

Glides like a dream!
Just bought this iron as my previous one, from a posh department store, didn't laat as long as it could have, despite me looking after it and emptying the tank after use and keeping it clean. I'm really impressed with this one though, the colour coded lights are so different to the norm, but I was surprised I actually liked the new system. The temperature changes up and down pretty quickly and is a refreshing change from the standard dial. Some of the colours do look a bit similar, the yellow and green are quite close in colour, I'd forgotten what setting I was on, as I was watching a boxset while ploughing through the Ironing, and thought it was on green and was disappointed in wasn't particularly hot, then cycled through the colours again and realised it was on yellow, so was then impressed with the temp on green. Overall, it was a pleasure to use, it really did glide over denim like it was nothing and smoothed out the creases. The water tank seems larger than previous irons, which is handy. I will try distilled water with this one though, as I'm in a hard water area.
