Good priced and efficient iron
Replacement for broken iron. Lots of features. Like the self cleaning function. Good result from ironing.Only issue is that the water level is difficult to see in the blue coloured tank. Good price.
Annie, 55 - 64
It has a different and better steam facility.
I bought this iron to replace a similar one that stopped working - therefore it is similar in performance to the last one.

God value for money
Great little iron, very reasonably priced and does the job perfectly - the only downside is the short lead but I use an extension lead so problem sorted!

Hi Theresa
Most of the holes are covered so as not to burn porridge when ironing it.
Hello Theresa,
The supplier has advised the following for the Russell Hobbs Speedglide PRO Steam Iron:
“ The most of the holes are closed on the sole plate because that is the design used for this model. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
Mine came covered with a porridge-like substance that just pealed off.
Hi there,
Having checked, the soleplate has a piece of cardboard covering it in the box, for protection. The card just pulls away.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi There,

Thanks for using Q&A.
Yes
Hi Shaz,
Our supplier has advised, you may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check that it’s suitable for use in irons.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for using Q&A
Can use tap water, but generally better to use distilled or bottled water to prolong life.
