About this product
Forget waiting for your iron to warm up. The Russell Hobbs Speedglide Steam Iron is ready in less than half a minute, thanks to its powerful heating element. It delivers continuous steam that penetrates fabrics, while the non-stick stainless-steel soleplate glides smoothly across delicate silk to sturdy cotton without sticking. For stubborn creases on heavier fabrics like denim or linen, the steam shot blasts through wrinkles, and the water spray button gives extra control on challenging materials.
The generous water tank lets you iron many garments before refilling, while separate temperature and steam controls let you fine-tune settings for any fabric. The vertical steam function freshens hanging garments or curtains without taking them down, and anti-drip protection keeps clothes spotless without water marks. Maintenance is easy with the self-cleaning function that maintains performance, and it's comfortable to handle with good reach across your ironing board. It includes a handy water refill beaker, and with a 2-year guarantee, it's built to handle your laundry needs reliably.

Lightweight, easy-to-use iron with good steam output and smooth glide. Great value for money, reliable performance, and suitable for various fabrics. Some concerns about cord length and water lid quality.

Thanks for using Q&A
Hello Sairah,
Russell Hobbs 23960 Speedglide Steam Iron.
The temperature is set using the small wheel underneath the handle. Turn the wheel until the selected temperature dot or fabric symbol lines up with the fixed indicator mark on the iron's body, beside the wheel.
The dots usually mean:
1 dot – low heat (nylon and acrylics, polyester).
2 dots – medium heat (wool and polyester mixtures).
3 dots – high heat (cotton and linen).
Start with the lowest suitable setting and increase it if needed. Use minimal or no steam on delicate fabrics.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there,
The Russell Hobbs 23960 Speedglide Steam Iron is effective for delicate fabrics when used on its low heat settings, especially when combined with minimal steam and proper protective techniques.
