About this product
Get through your ironing pile quickly with the Russell Hobbs Pearl Glide Steam Iron. This 2600W iron heats in 30 seconds and features a pearl-infused ceramic soleplate that glides 50% smoother and lasts twice as long as standard ceramic. Variable steam control and 40g per minute continuous steam handle creases, while a 150g per minute steam shot removes stubborn wrinkles. The 315mL water tank reduces refills, and the anti-drip system prevents water marks.
This iron is packed with features that make ironing easier. The vertical steam function freshens hanging garments and curtains without taking them down, while the self-clean and anti-scale systems keep it performing for years. Weighing 1.17kg with a soft-grip handle, it's easy to manoeuvre, and the 2m power cord offers good reach. The temperature ready indicator shows when it's heated, and the water spray button tackles stubborn areas. With a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee, this iron is built to handle your laundry needs day in, day out.

Great features
Excellent iron, comfy to handle, creaes just disappear as the iron glides over the clothes. No drips, and preheat is very quick.

Good Value
I always buy the same model of Russell Hobbs steam iron. They are always good value and this new one is even better than the last.

Great iron
I am fussy with irons so the first thing I did was read reviews before buying a new one. I’m glad I did as this was recommended for being lightweight and good steam….which I agree it is.

Thank you for using Q&A
Hi, I have one of these irons. It lacks auto shut off which is a major issue as Im getting on a bit and can be a little forgetful. The 2m power cord is too short. Also the dial is a bit awkward to work out which way to turn as its difficult to see where to line the dots up with.

Do I have to use ironing water or can I use uk tap
