Kitchen & Housewares : Russell Hobbs 12379 Steamglide Iron with Anti-Drip Anti-Scale 1800w

Rating: - Very pleased
A good iron with a nice flexible old fashioned style flex. It is solid and feels good in the hand, glides well over clothes, not so hot it melts things and is a sensible price. The shot of steam is impressive but only four stars because a) the 360 degrees cord movement is too stiff b)the steam volume selection dial has numbers on it that can only be seen under bright light with a magnifying glass (no exaggeration) which makes it difficult to work out whether steam is on or off. This is compounded by the anti-drip system which (I think) stops the water flowing into the hotplate unless there is enough heat. For the first ten minutes I thought it wasn't steaming but after learning the steam dial and waiting patiently with the iron horizontal it started to flow. The good side of this system is I can confidently switch off the steam and leave the iron standing on its soleplate with water still in it which makes it less likely to topple off the ironing board.

This is suprisingly a great little iron for such a cheap price, I initially bought it as a spare in case mine broke down.........decided to use it as hubby had lent my main one to a neighbour and have not changed back.it glides smoothly without burning or sticking, it steams very well without leaving yukky stains on your clothes easy to fill and temperature control is spot on, all in all a great little iron
