I'm one of those people who HATE ironing and only do it when absolutely necessary. 😝 I was looking for a good quality, basic iron at a good price and, after poring over several on here opted for this one, mainly based on one of the reviews for it which impressed me, because it wasn't overpriced, because it has a ceramic sole plate and because it's from Russell Hobbs which I know to be a very reliable brand (my kettle is one of theirs and is still going strong at 15+ years old!).It has TOTALLY lived up to my expectations. It's stylish and a lovely colour, the design is ideal, it's midweight so it's not too light to perform well and not so heavy that it causes arm ache, it has a nice long cord, it's simple to use with all the functions anyone could need to get the job done, it glides over fabrics like a dream without the horrible sticking that some irons are prone to do, and my ironing was done quickly and super effectively.For such a good iron the price is an absolute steal. I noticed that some irons on here are £100+ and in my opinion anyone who would waste that much money on an iron needs their head examining when they could get a great one like this one for a fraction of the price! Also, how many features is an iron expected to have? The people who have negatively reviewed this iron - and whinged about it being basic, etc - must be Victor Mildrew types and not happy unless they can whine about everything! This iron does everything an iron should do, without sticking to clothes (thanks to the ceramic sole plate), looks nice and is a bargain despite it being by a well known, reliable brand. So, to the whingers - get a life! 😂I can't recommend this iron enough!! 😃

Really nice and good. Highly recommended. Value and quality. Top notch. 👍💯

This is a good, very lightweight basic iron. It does exactly what you might expect an iron to do! I bought this to replace our more expensive iron, which in comparison, feels substantial and better made. However, that said, this iron is ideal if you don't want any bells or whistles on your iron. The steam option is good, the iron is light to use. The build quality feels cheaper, but it irons bedding without struggling, so although low cost, it does the job. I live in a hard water area and I figured if that is going to kill my iron I am not going to spend a fortune on one. You just use tap water in it and if you follow the cleaning procedure it should be okay, or so it says. We shall see. (BTW, our old iron was dropped onto its sole plate and died as a result, so in this case it wasn't the water that did it in.)

Very good and easy to use

So good and great price well worth buying

Lightweight and easy to use but leaks badly when using the steam function leaving the clothes wet and stained.

It comes as no surprise this product is always on offer, ruins clothes by leaving stains, the iron plate became stained itself after only a couple of uses.When directed to customer service I was first told someone would call me back, and when this didn’t happen an embarrassing ping pong of emails ensued. This resulted in the problem not being rectified and me giving up. The cost of the product wasn’t worth my time keep chasing. I’d avoid this product at all costs.

Good iron, excellent value
