Russell Hobbs Diamond Elite Steam Iron, Black Diamond soleplate, 220g Steam Shot, 50g Continuous steam, 350ml Water Tank, Anti-calc & Anti-drip function, Vertical Steam, 3m Cord, 3100W, 27000

I had owned a Russel Hobbs Steam Iron for many years which sadly went into retirement as the steam shot button stopped working. After reviewing the 100's of irons available and deliberating over a normal steam iron or one of the new steam generators, I decided to stick with a normal steam iron and buy this Russell Hobbs Diamond Elite. However, I've got to say this isn't just a 'normal' iron. To start with its very nice to look at, sleek, black, and very modern. It feels really comfortable with a silicone type soft grip. It is fairly weighty BUT my old iron was the same and personally I like a heavy iron. It holds a generous amount of water in the tank, glides effortlessly over the clothes and is a pleasure to use. I also like the fact that it has a nice point, handy for getting into tricky areas on garments, and the cable is nice and long too. It has a really powerful steam shot and quite honestly there isn't anything that I don't like about it. I would definitely recommend this iron and would buy it again without hesitation.

The iron is very astheticaly beautiful and the heating is suitable for all kinds of material textures, also it's users friendly and non sticky to clothes, it steam vapour is so interesting to watch how it straightenes the clothes and it is self clean too. This is perfect value for the money and the length of the cord is long enough that you wouldn't need any extension socket also it's comfortable to use and user friendly too. It's the ideal iron for homes too. I have use 2 different brand prior to this and I can see the difference is very clear. This is the best among the other too brands. However I'm giving 4 ⭐ at the moment because I can't comment on the durability now this is because it's just one month that I have use this Russel hob but I believe it's going to serve me for the longest possible time and I will update this review in the future... GO FOR IT NOW, BECAUSE YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

This sleek looking iron is great, heats up really quickly, is easy to use, has a large water container and does everything you’d expect from an iron! Very sturdy and quite weighty, the long cord helps with its functionality. Overall a great iron for the price

This iron is the best iron I've ever had.. I've had many .. it heats up very fast and the steam blasts are very powerful! The plate is lovely on every fabric..This is the best iron in this range and for the price you won't be disappointed! The only thing I would say that it is SLIGHTLY heavier than my previous irons..but honestly it's a lovely iron.. It was delivered the nxt day.. I can honestly say I enjoy ironing because it is so much easier with this iron.

Well my wife wasn't overly keen on the colour (black) but this is a really easy to use iron. Though it's a little bit heavier than previous irons we've owned, it glides smoothly and this isn't really a problem. The after-use cleaning requirements are somewhat pedantic if followed to the letter, but your clothes will be nicely ironed and the device changes temperatures quickly when altered. Pleased!

Found this iron difficult to use as the sole plate creases up on the backward stroke

Bought due to the old iron giving up the ghost (leaking and overheating). Had a good look around, and this one looked pretty good. Easy to hold and handle, good base plate so glides with snagging, and has an excellent steam +. Only had it a short while, but seems to be a very good iron. Easy to use. Controls easy to read. No fancy gadgets. Just what you want from an iron

I normally have people in creases so I try smooth things out with this.

All good. Thanks
