"very very very disappointed"

"no spills heats up fast the steam pressure is ok and for the price i think its really competitive with other more expensive ones"

"tried doing the self clean feature it doesn't work either"

"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"

"absolutely terrible what a waste of money"

"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"

"i am unhappy about this"

"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!"

"good and effective iron but very heavy"

"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"

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

"the part of the iron where the cable exits the body is poorly constructed the rubber part is designed to keep the cable away from the body of the iron but the material is too thin resulting in the cable not being held away from the body of the iron when using it"

"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"

"reading the reviews there are an alarming number which say this product is very unreliable"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"so hot that you really have to be careful with different materials and adjust the temperature accordingly otherwise it will stick and ruin your clothes but this is easy to prevent if you pay attention"

"this iron has been a disappointment"

"absolutely crap iron when arrived iron was wet when try to use it water gushing out of metal plate returning this garbage"

"although the cord is long there is no way of securely wrapping it around the iron making it difficult to store"

"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"

"however it just seemed to blow up there was a horrible burning smell plus it marked my new ironing board cover it only lasted for a few month terrible"

"tested it regardless and it's dreadful"

"still leaves lime scale on my clothes i clean and empty all water after each use and store away up right "

"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"

"cord not long enough could do with another metre"

"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"

"the auto switch off functionality stopped working first it'd stay on forever so i had it replaced under warranty"

"as i was ironing it has created yellow rusty marks on my partners shirt that will not come out"

"apparently this iron is faulty it won't heat up properly and steam function is not working"

"only bad point is you have to physically stand there and use it"

"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"

"i've just used this for the first time myself utter rubbish tried on a pair of jeans and it didn't matter what setting or how much steam it wouldn't iron them"

"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"

"i have descaled it several times and ensure i use filtered water in the iron to prevent build up of limescale"

"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 "

"quite heavy to lift but when using means not much pressure needed so the weight and power make light work of ironing"

"the darth vader review caught my eye and this iron does resemble a 'star destroyer' i guess"

"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"

"everything great about the iron except that it wouldn't steam !"

"a bit heavy and the notches to allow access around buttons actually catch flat material and cause creases"

"the iron did a decent job while it lasted but it no longer heats up"

"it’s a lot heavier than i was expecting compared to my old iron"

"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"

"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"
