About this deal

So let’s carry on with our Russell Hobbs 20630 Powersteam Ultra Steam Iron review and explore the product’s pricing. Once filled, the iron is ready to go. Just plug it in, select the desired temperature setting using the control dial on the iron’s main body, and wait for the indicator light to switch off; this indicates that the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100W has reached temperature. With a no-burn guarantee, the Phillips PerfectCare Elite steam generator iron does everything from vertically steaming curtains, just like the best clothes steamer, to gently de-wrinkling delicate items using its intuitive OptimalTemp technology to adjust the temperature for maximum efficiency.

In Self-Clean mode, it’s mainly water that comes out. It’s the most comfortable iron to clean as a result; it isn’t much fun standing over a sink and being in a cloud of steam for nearly ten minutes. You need two hands to use the cleaning mode: one to hold the button down and the other to hold the iron. The entire job took only 2mins 30secs. Why buy the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100w? We know that our Mumsnet users are the real experts when it comes to laundry so, as always, we began by consulting our forums to see which steam irons parents loved and which they, well, didn't. Expert opinion It has a powerful vertical steam function that's ideal for getting the wrinkles out of hanging garments, curtains and upholstery. And it has a variable steam function that allows you to control the level of steam you apply.Let’s just be honest, ironing isn’t the most glamorous of house chores. In fact, most of us find it annoying in more ways than one, especially when it comes to dealing with stubborn creases. It is, therefore, no surprise that steam irons are a consumer favourite. Honestly, the fact that this steam iron is extremely popular isn’t a surprise. It offers a ton of features that you simply don’t expect from an appliance of this price range. At such a low price tag, this is as good as it gets. Has a handy water spray function, ideal for helping remove stubborn creases and wrinkles in your clothes The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Russell Hobbs is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Irons category. Buyers mentioned that this iron has a powerful 210 g burst of steam that is very handy for dealing with creases in denim or linen

At the end of the day, the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 20630 is the only featured steam iron that offers a combination of high power, high functionality, reliability and great affordability. By all means, you should buy yourself one. We were really impressed with the huge amounts of steam, which was consistent and easily controlled with an on/off button. There are three settings for steam on the iron and a concentrated steam zone at the front of the iron to make it easier to remove creases. It also works as a vertical steamer, although you’ll probably still need to iron the fiddlier parts of a garment flat.

How long your steam iron will last depends on how much you use it and whether you take care of it. A good steam iron should last around ten years, but many last much longer. The average lifespan is anywhere between 10-20 years. How can I make my steam iron last? The iron’s 3100 watts of power means it heated from cold to the three-dot setting in a super-fast 21 seconds. It really pumps the water out, too: I got 25 minutes of ironing on the three-dot, full-steam setting from the 400ml of water. (At 24 minutes, the steam blast stopped working.) Although it was steamy enough to mist up my reading specs at first, the steam seemed to dissipate gradually, so the room didn’t feel damp after ironing. Steam generator irons have become much more mainstream over the last few years, with many deciding to invest. And they are a very expensive investment, with prices going into the hundreds of pounds. Although this steam iron isn’t the cheapest one on the market, its impressive features make it worth the extra cash. It also helps that the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 20630 come with an instruction manual and a 3-year guarantee. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review.

Filling the Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100w is easy enough. If you live in a soft-water area, simply fill directly from your tap; if you live in a hard-water area, however, Russell Hobbs recommends that you use distilled water with this iron. Soleplates are almost inevitably ceramic on modern irons and a larger plate will mean faster ironing. Of course, the bigger the plate, the larger and heavier the iron will be, so do consider this if weight is likely to be an issue for you. If you’re looking for a high-performing steam iron that has the ability to continuously supply a high amount of steam, the Philips GC4526/87 Azur Performer Plus is right up your alley. Ultimately, its high price is completely understandable. The Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra iron was tested on various fabrics, including heavy denim, and clothing, including school uniforms. Laura used a Minky Ergo Ironing Board during testing. The Russell Hobbs Powersteam has a nice clear water tank and, despite the box and online promotional material saying it had a 350ml capacity, it takes 400ml to fill the tank to the “max” mark.

With over 65 years’ experience in iron manufacturing, Philips has all but dominated this sector. Year after year this brand has provided us with the best irons of all time. When it comes to steam irons, things aren’t that different.
