"actually i am quite disappointed all in all and hope it does not last as long as my previous iron"

"but this iron is noisy smells like burnt plastic and came with water inside"

"the latest azur packed in after 2yrs of weekly use and so i thought it time for a new brand due to their gradual decline in quality leading to their price being unjustifiable"

"one slightly negative aspect is although i turn the steamer up the amount of steam doesn't change"

"the only problem i have with it is that when you are ironing your fingers are knuckles tend to flick the temperature dial under the handle needs a slightly larger space also filling the iron with water is difficult if you are right handed because it opens to the right you have to try and fill it with your left hand take note russell hobbs and either designed it so it will it backwards towards the handle so it can be filled easily by either right or left handed people hence the four stars it would have been five"

"terrible iron the steam stopped after a year and didn't get hot enough to iron cotton complained to amazon who sent me a replacement and that had the same problem straight away heavy iron too"

"the only downside hence 4 instead of 5nsyars is that the heat indicators aren’t very clear so it’s tricky to work out where the cotton or wool settings are"

"also has a nasty habit of tripping the electrics when i use steam boost"

"as a left hander the angle of the plastic part of the cord does catch my arm but it's not a major problem"

"the cable is insanely long ideal for plugging in and having no restrictions from an overly short one but there is nowhere to store it when not in use"

"barely 18 months in and of dubious service with an iron that never did glide well and often put more creases in than it took out and it busts"

"the constant steam when ironing was minimal so i had to use the steam boost a lot to get a good flat material which made the steam loose pressure and become weak"

"i am unhappy about this"

"waste of money"

"but not great if you need the space and want to keep it out the way also think irons left out are extremely dangerous re small kids or pets "

"utter crap!"

"the most annoying thing for me anyway is that your hand constantly catches the heat control dial under the handle as there isn't much room"

"found it a bit odd that this was supposed to be a brand new item and arrived with dirty fetid water inside and some limescale build up on the outside"

"returned of these first one leaked water down the handle when steaming which i thought was a fault so was advised to return it and they sent me a replacement which did exactly the same thing"

"even the water filling up part is leaking everytime you stand the iron upwards it leaks"

"got this iron few months back and regretted not sending it back it shortly after"

"very poor product"

"purchased in april and it died in august"

"what could be better handle while this is ok i did find the steam buttons at the front of the handle got in the way a little not to the point where it was a real problem but it just made the handle a little less comfortable than it could have been coiling cable this is a little annoying there is nowhere to coil the cable around the iron after use having said that i often leave mine out in a spare room"

"very poorly built unreliable piece of kit like numerous other russell hobbs electrical products"

"big heavy and cumbersome"

"totally regret for buying it"

"i have to have pressed shirts for work and this is a great iron for a good price"

"my downsides for this iron would be that the temperature gauge is easily moved when picking it up it's rather heavy when full of water & if your using it at max temperature it's really thirsty & requires water more often"

"for the last few months it has not been working well erratic temperature and now it has stopped working altogether!"

"a number of white shirts have been ruined by the staining"

"heavy runs out of water fast spitting scale out after 4 uses knock the temperature control when using it despite only having small hands produces a good steam and has a long card"

"avoid at all cost :"

"hopefully it will leave everything looking and feeling a little flat "

"to be honest i wouldn't even gibe it 1 star!"

"i've now got used to it and don't mind but when i first used it i was tempted to send it back as in comparison to my old one a supermarket brand it felt ridiculously weighty"

"sadly doesn't do the dishes pay the rent or take the dog for a walk"

"incredibly heavy and bulky"

"been ironing for 38 years had white limescale occasionally but never this"

"extremely arkward because of its size and weight"

"would recommend in place of the more expensive ones which have less features"

"the steam button when pressed issues an irritating squeak every time the sole plate doesn't glide as well as previous irons e"

"only slight downside is the location of the temp control it’s under the handle and is very easy to catch with your hand and accidentally change the temperature"

"i've had a few irons over the years bosch swan tefal but this one is by far the best i've used"

"what i don't like is that there is nowhere to wrap the cable around the iron for storage because the design is too sleek"

"it is easy to use quite light and not chunky and really does pack a punch with easy to control temperatures and a very simple fill system"

"manufacturer says to return to seller as it is under 6 months old"

"it is not a lightweight iron it's actually quite heavy but that's exactly what i was looking for however it's not for everyone"

"it wasn’t possible to switch it on any more for reasons unknown"

"works well until it doesn't"

"a load of crap"

"goes through a lot of water but then i have the steam on maximum gets rid of the creases cuts off when not used so a good safety feature"

"i had a steam generator iron before and got fed up of lugging it about too cumbersome so when it broke i went for this and haven't looked back!"

"this guy may have been having a bad day but that is not my problem and i do not like to be made to feel this way after what should have been a brief and curteous interaction"

"maybe someone didn't like the product and has returned it and they have sent it to me a returned item"

"terrible iron the steam stopped after a year and didn't get hot enough to iron cotton complained to amazon who sent me a replacement and that had the same problem straight away heavy iron too"

"my downsides for this iron would be that the temperature gauge is easily moved when picking it up it's rather heavy when full of water & if your using it at max temperature it's really thirsty & requires water more often"

"what a waste"

"it sounds as if the weight might require more effort to use but i actually find having to apply more downward pressure using a light iron harder work than sliding a heavier one from side to side"

"rubbish iron not even lasted a yr does anybody know how i get a replacement or refund?"

"absolutly disgusted surely this goes against trading standards"

"buttons stick plate design makes it catch clothing and it only steams well if you continuously press the extra steam button which keeps sticking in "

"there is a constant steam switch so you don't have to hold a button plus a steam booster option"

"i also dropped the ironing whilst ironing which cracked the plastic chunks fell off the black plastic surround"

"found it a bit odd that this was supposed to be a brand new item and arrived with dirty fetid water inside and some limescale build up on the outside"

"goes through a lot of water but then i have the steam on maximum gets rid of the creases cuts off when not used so a good safety feature"

"i brought this item in oct 17 for my brother i have just been told this just stopped working in feb 18"

"i would not recommend"

"not a big issue at all long may this iron last as it was a bit pricey for what it is"

"it's ok but it is heavy and the plate seems to stick to the clothes drags them around the board which is frustrating it doesn't glide"

"i've now got used to it and don't mind but when i first used it i was tempted to send it back as in comparison to my old one a supermarket brand it felt ridiculously weighty"

"the water tank has droplets of water on there which have also leaked out of the iron and has scuffs on there"

"i use the maximum setting every time but cannot get the end result i wish to achieve"
