There’s a Steam Iron causing a stir with shoppers as it amasses 38,000 reviews, with an average rating of 4.4 out of five stars – and it’s nearly half price
A Russell Hobbs iron has been hailed as the ‘best I’ve ever owned’ by an Amazon customer, who praised its ability to whizz through ironing tasks at a ‘lightning-fast’ pace. The Russell Hobbs Steam Iron, which was originally priced at £69.99, is now up for grabs at £38 in an Amazon deal.
This top-notch iron delivers a potent 210g steam burst that effortlessly irons out creases in tough fabrics like denim and linen. Unlike other models, it also releases 70g of continuous steam, making cotton clothes easier to iron.

The iron heats up 15% quicker than average, and its ceramic soleplate smoothly glides over clothes, helping users finish their ironing faster. Other useful features include a tapered tip for hard-to-reach areas and button grooves, a self-clean function to prevent limescale build-up, anti-drip protection, vertical steam capability, and an auto shut-off setting for added safety.
The Russell Hobbs Steam Iron has racked up over 38,000 reviews on Amazon, with an average rating of 4.4 out of five stars. Customers have praised its ‘extremely fast’ heat-up time and time-saving abilities, while others highlighted its proficiency in tackling ‘even the toughest wrinkles with ease’.
John couldn’t hide his enthusiasm for the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100 W Vertical Steam Iron, as reported by Birmingham Live. He raved: “Being ex-Army with a love for crisp creases, the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100 W Vertical Steam Iron has truly blown me away … The 3100 W power of this iron is no joke. It heats up lightning-fast, which is a real time-saver when you’re in a hurry to iron your clothes … The continuous steam output is impressive, making even the toughest wrinkles surrender with ease. It glides effortlessly over fabrics, thanks to the ceramic soleplate. Smooth, precise, and powerful.”
Meanwhile, a pleased customer gave their testimony: “So fast. My last two irons have been Phillips Azur … This iron is superior and much cheaper. It is noticeably heavier than the Azur but I think this is an asset. My ironing pile that used to take me about three hours to see the back of only took me two hours on first use. The steam output, although similar, is much more efficient. It doesn’t stop and start but continuously steams, powerfully, and, coupled with the extra weight, just whizzes through the ironing. I wasn’t expecting an iron that costs so much less to be so efficient so I am delighted with it.”
An individual lauded their purchase, calling it ‘the best iron I’ve ever owned’, while another satisfied user agreed, saying: “Brilliant iron. This iron seems to be very underrated. It’s very good. It’s probably the best iron I’ve bought for a long time paid a quarter of the price of some of them I’ve paid before including the expensive ones. The cord is so long it’s amazing. It’s brilliant. You can plug it in anywhere.”
However, not all feedback was as glowing, reports Lincolnshire Live. Some buyers pointed out the heft of this model, with one noting, “Effective iron but very heavy. Purchased this iron after seeing it reviewed as the #1 best steam iron overall on The Telegraph … the steam function is good but the iron is incredibly heavy. I go to the gym fairly regularly but find lifting this iron with water inside a workout to iron shirts – luckily I only iron occasionally! Wouldn’t recommend for those looking for something lightweight or doing ironing for a family.”
