A steam generator iron designed to cut ironing time with powerful steam and a larger tank. Households that tackle frequent laundry will welcome fewer refills and steadier steam, Russell Hobbs Steam Iron. Will performance and low-maintenance design stand up to regular use?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Steam Performance: 2400W heating with 90g continuous steam output and a strong 110g steam shot for stubborn creases
  • Best for: Busy households and anyone who irons large batches of laundry
  • Not ideal for: Users who need a compact handheld-only steamer or very small storage footprint

A 2400W steam generator iron with a removable 1.3L tank and anti-calc system. Non-stick soleplate and a 60-second heat-up make regular ironing quicker and more convenient.


Fast, effective crease removal – thanks to 2400W power and high steam output

High-power 2400W heating produces continuous steam at 90g with an additional strong 110g steam shot to penetrate fibres and loosen deep creases. Rapid steam delivery reduces the need for repeated passes over the same area.

Deeper steam penetration shortens ironing time and improves results on shirts, towels and heavier fabrics.

Longer ironing sessions – with a removable 1.3L water tank

A 1.3-litre removable tank allows extended operation without frequent top-ups and detaches for straightforward filling. The larger capacity suits multi-item loads and bulk ironing tasks.

Fewer interruptions for refills keeps momentum during family laundry days or large ironing sessions.

Lower maintenance and tidy storage – with anti-calc system and secure closure

An integrated calc cleaning system filters water to reduce limescale build-up, helping maintain steam performance. A secure closure system plus built-in hose and cord storage keeps components organised for transport.

Cleaner internals prolong usable life while wrapped storage makes cupboard storage and occasional travel simpler.
