Compare Cons

only problem in both products

"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"
