About this product
Forget guesswork with every fabric. The Russell Hobbs Colour Control SteamPower Steam Generator Iron uses Colour Control Technology with digital indicators to show the right heat for delicate silks to heavy denim. Ready in 1 minute, it delivers 100g per minute continuous steam at 4.5 bar pressure, with a 150g steam shot for tough wrinkles. The 2600W generator has a 1.3L detachable tank and continuous fill to handle large laundry piles without stopping.
This generator combines power with practicality. The ceramic soleplate glides smoothly, while the precision steam tip reaches tricky spots around buttons and seams. The vertical steam freshens hanging garments and curtains for quick touch-ups. Variable steam settings control different fabrics, and the anti-drip system prevents water marks. With auto shut-off, a safety lock, and anti-scale technology for easy maintenance, it's built for long-term use. The 1.9m power and steam cords provide reach, and a 3-year guarantee ensures reliability.

Customers Say
Lightweight and easy to use with good steam performance, though some find the steam delay and glide less effective. Generally good value and reliable with helpful safety and maintenance features.

Not impressed
I bought this iron on the good reviews but I’m really disappointed with it, my previous steam generator was amazing, the glide was great but this one drags, the steam is ok but it doesn’t glide over clothes, wish I hadn’t wasted my money.
Dee, 55 - 64
Ironing takes three times as long
Dreadful. Steam takes too long to come through - by the time it does you have put the iron back on the stand. Would never buy again - had a Bosch before and wish I'd bought another (Argos didn't stock one any more)

Good enough, but not exciting!
Not as responsive as my previous Russell Hobbs, but has better safety features and is easier to de-scale. I would prefer more steam though!

Hello Rach,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Russell Hobbs Colour Control SteamPower Steam Generator Iron: ''This product comes with a filter and an anti-scale cartridge. For the filter we recommend that you remove and clean the filter every 6 uses depending on the water hardness in your area. The warning light/reset button will flash to remind you that the filter needs cleaning. Doing this will extend the life of the unit.
For the anti-scale cartridge it will need changing between 50-100 uses depending on the hardness of the water.''
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hi Maggie
This does not need any cartridges, it has a water tank that the iron sits on. You just fill the water tank with water and your ready to go.
If you are referring to descaling the iron please refer to our product support page as in the link below:

Hi Mavis,
Yes this iron does take tap water but in areas where the water is hard you may want to filter it first to reduce build up of limescale
