    Bought this to replace my broken more expensive make. Was shocked how expensive some steam generating irons got. Decided to take a chance and plump for this relatively cheap one. Not at all disappointed. Great steam output, very light, large water reserve. For the price nothing not to like. Would recommend.

    I am ver happy with it
    Easy to use
    Lightweight
    Strong steam
    Easy to store
    Highly recommend

    Good steam generator, which has given no problem so far, easy to use, not very heavy, and what is best, it comes with two years guarantee.

    I just love this iron! It’s lightweight, heats up in seconds and does what it says. One wee gripe is the cord isn’t long enough and I’ve to use extension, but it’s really no hassle. I’m so glad I bought this model, it’s brilliant!!

    Not too expensive. Easy to use. Works for me very well. I like irons with a steam generator. Saves having to keep filling ordinary irons with water. Steam always there and ready to use. Like this iron very much

    Extremely easy to use and makes light work of doing the ironing each week. The only problem that I have had with this steam generator compared to others that I have owned in the past is the slight delay between pressing the button and actual generation of steam. With my previous steam generators the generation of steam has been instant. That slight delay apart though the iron does the job perfectly.
    The reason that I bought this steam generator is the fact that it has the water filter thing fitted to the large removable water tank. My previous steam generators haven’t broken as such but just became unusable after a few years because of the problems with the extremely hard water in our area clogging up the vents and then chucking out all sorts onto the clothes at random after putting through any sort of cleaning solutions to try and clean them out. Time will tell whether this filter does the job but I am really hoping so as the lightness of this iron is making the ironing so much easier on the arm, my previous steam generators all weighed at least twice as much.
    The amount of steam generated makes it very easy ironing event the heaviest denim jeans and makes ironing shirts/blouses extremely easy.
    My wife hasn’t tried using it yet but as I have been doing the ironing in my house for the past forty years I can’t see that changing in the near future no matter how much lighter this makes the ironing to do.
    I must say that I am enjoying the ironing (if that is the right way to describe the job) much more with this steam generator than I have in the past.
    An excellent choice and at a brilliant price for a steam generator iron.

    I was pleasantly surprised with this iron. I ordered it after reading the reviews and was really pleased that it actually was lightweight compared to my last iron. It cuts the ironing time in half and it’s an added bonus having the cables tidy when not in use.

    I have had Russell Hobbs steam generator irons for many years and find them to be the best brand. Bought this model because other one broke. This was cheaper than my last model and coming up to Christmas finances were short. It irons nice but I agree with other review that steam takes much longer to come through. Like I say it does iron nice though and gets all creases out but just takes a little longer.

    Steam takes awhile to come through and you have to work on creases more than other models. Adequate but not as quick

    I never really take time to write reviews…but this one’s worth it.

    My boyfriend recommended a steam iron that costs 250.00 – as I was shopping around I came a cross this and thought why not give it a try since it’s cheaper… Now, I’m glad i did. I’d give it more-than 5stars !

    So easy to use!

    I’ve only just bought this so only used it twice.. I live alone so don’t get a lot of ironing so it suits my needs the steam is pretty good on it and it’s easy to use . Lighter items only need ironing one side .. the cable is nice and long but it is pretty heavy to carry to wherever u r going store it the water tank is a generous size but if u do a lot of ironing I would suggest u pay a little bit more and get one of the dearer models . My friend paid 200 for one and says it’s cut her ironing time in half but if u only want to pay wat I wanted to pay I recommend this iro

    This is a decent steam iron although I am a little disappointed with it as it isn’t as good as my last steam generator iron. However my last one was double the price of this one so I guess you get what you pay for. This iron is lightweight and easy to use and there is a decent amount of steam but it seems to take a while for the steam to come out after pressing the button. I start ironing a sleeve and press the steam button but the steam only comes out once I have finished ironing the sleeve and stood the iron on it’s end again. So it is a bit of a timing issue that you have to get used to I guess so that is why only four stars.

    last iron broke so needed a new one. seen this and thought would give it a try. well worth the money. fill up the resevoir, plug in turn on wait a few mins to warm up and its ready to go, really good steam on it a light weight iron and a good length on the lead and steam hose. on the down side its a little on the large side so needs a dedicated place to put away but thats the only down side in my opinion.

    Excellent! Morexstesm than youvcan shake a stick at! Or not, depending if you operate the steam switch on the underside of the handle, of course. That is the only negative thing: the switch on the underside of the handle. For long ironing sessions that could become a strain. Otherwise it is great! Much better than a standard iron, I reckon. Worth a try……

    It is a little different to the last steam generator iron. You have to wait a few seconds for the steam to come through and then you have to get used to letting go of the button a few seconds before lifting off material otherwise you waste a load of steam!
    But is a great iron and is working well 🙂

    This iron is amazing, makes light work of a huge ironing pile. Takes a while to heat up and it does need refilling quite a lot but that’s a small price to pay for the wonderful job it does on clothes etc. Recommend

    My last iron died after about 3 years, it was quite an expensive one. I decided to go for a cheaper one this time and it was a great decision. The water tank is big so less refilling. It heats up quickly, great as I can be impatient! The cord is plenty long enough and it looks quite nice too.
    I wouldn’t always go for the lower priced appliance but in this case it was well worth it.
