Let’s face it, few of us look forward to ironing and many of us will be happy to use short cuts. Thankfully, the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Iron boasts several features that take a lot of the hassle out of ironing, which is is music to our ears.

Powered by 3100 watts, the iron has a super speedy heat-up time. In fact, it’s up to 15 per cent faster than previous Russell Hobbs models so you can get the job done quicker. 

It’s also 50 per cent smoother than previous models, thanks to the improved glide, which means no more struggling to work your way through large laundry piles – perfect timing as the kids go back to school next week. 

The iron is built with smooth ceramic soleplates that glide through even tough creases to leave your garments wrinkle-free. Plus, the tapered tip with button groove lets you get into those awkward bits of fabric around buttons and fastenings to give your clothes a professionally ironed finish. 

Unlike a lot of other irons, the Powerstream features an impressively large water tank which can hold up to 350 ml. Not only will you have to fill it up less but it also delivers a powerful 210 g burst of steam to tackle hard creases in denim or linen. 

If your curtains have seen better days then the vertical steam function is ideal for giving them a once over or if you have any hanging garments that need seeing to.  

Weighing 1.6kg, it’s worth noting that the iron is larger and heavier than some irons on the market. While some have found this a hindrance when dealing with large loads of washing, many claim it’s actually a benefit as it tackles creases with ease.

‘This iron is a heavy bit of machinery but it is brilliant and a hell a of an iron’ wrote one impressed shopper. ‘Good reach, steams well, huge surface area and has a massive tank for lasting ironing. One of the nice features too, is the button cravaces/edges to iron shirts! Must have for a shirt wearer.’

Another agreed, adding: ‘The steam on this iron is really good and consistent. As mentioned it is quite weighty but this mean creases don’t stand a chance.’

A third shopper penned: ‘Value for money this is brilliant. We had a much more expensive Philips prior to this but it spat brown water over clothes and had a small, cheap design fault where water is applied. This Russell Hobbs seems better made and more robust.’

With close to 16,000 reviews praise-filled reviews, it’s not hard to see why the Russell Hobbs Powerstream Iron has risen through the bestsellers ranks and is currently Amazon’s Choice for ‘iron’ on the site. Now better-than-half-price, it might be worth taking advantage of the deal while it lasts.
