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.

Reasonably priced iron that is smooth when gliding
Nice iron, reasonably priced. It doesn’t job, irons out the creases. Comes with a water cup to fill up the reservoir. The ceramic baseplate glides lovely. Overall happy with it.

Great iron, lightweight, glides well over fabric
I bought this last week, what a great iron, the steam removes the creases, lightweight and pretty in pink. Very pleased with my purchase plus it was on sale price.
Teresa, 55 - 64
Excellent value for money
So happy with my purchase much better than my previous iron. Creases disappear easily, great glide and so easy to use. Only criticism is the door where you put the water in is a bit flimsy

I bought this steam iron as a replacement for a broken one-it is excellent.Fairly lightweight,attractive looking.On full steam,it compares very well with my Morphy Richards cordless .It glides well and the shape is great for ironing e.g between button holes.It was a great buy,especially as it was on sale also.

Bought this iron to replace a very old one of the same make which was very good - the new one is just as good if not better - so easy to handle and works perfectly so far so good - I would highly recommend: also a fantastic price from Argos.

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.
