The Powersteam Ultra Steam Iron is the most powerful iron yet by Russell Hobbs. The iron has a steaming iron tip, tapered edge and large base vents, and ensures total heat distribution & access to the most difficult areas. The integrated vertical steam function means you are able to take on hanging garments, curtains and even upholstery. The 45g/min continuous steam is perfect on cotton clothing and a substantial 210g shot is great for denim. Plus, with triple action self-cleaning you can be confident your iron will last. Our Mumsnetters have tried and tested hundreds of steam irons and, with eight million users visiting our forums every month, we know the true value of an authentic recommendation from ordinary families. Which is why we spend hours scouring the forums for the products our Mumsnet community have used and loved. Cordless steam irons are indeed less powerful than their corded counterparts, better suited to light fabrics and smaller laundry loads than anything heavy-duty. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t convenient, practical and preferred by some Mumsnet users. The Philips PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron GC9630/20 is quite the investment, but its exceptional performance justifies the price.As with other steam irons, the Powersteam Ultra is controlled by a temperature dial underneath the handle. On the top of the handle, there are the spray buttons and steam shot buttons, with a slider in between the two to adjust the steam setting. The buttons are chunky and the slide moves smoothly from top to bottom, so the whole thing feels very user-friendly. The Powersteam Ultra has a soft touch, easy grip handle, which means it is comfortable to hold.

Your iron produces a lot of steam. Steam could have condensed on the ironing board cover, making it wet and cause water marks on your garment when the iron is pressed on it. With 210G of Burst Steam, you do not have to worry about handling the heavier fabrics as well. This will automatically make it much easier for you to handle any kind of fabric without any issues. Adequate water tank capacity The ceramic soleplate is the perfect option for each and every kind of fabric. As a result, you are able to use this iron in a completely versatile manner. You will not have to worry about the wear and tear of the soleplate. Long cordIn 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? Dry the wet spots on the garment and the ironing board cover by passing the iron over them without pressing the steam button. If the underside of the ironing board is wet, wipe it dry. The antiscale design also avoids any kind of deposition on the iron. This ensures that the steam holes are always open as well. As a result, it is much easier for you to get proper steam from the iron. Less maintenance The number of steam holes in the soleplate – the more holes, the more even the steam dispersal to get rid of creases 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.

The water droplets may appear on the garments when you have steam ironed for a while. This happens because steam has condensed on the ironing board. The iron alone is heavy at 1.6kg, which means you don’t have to press down so hard on the fabric to smooth out creases. Those with arthritis might prefer a lighter iron. The water tank capacity is also 350 ml. This ensures that steam can be produced for a significantly longer period of time without any problems. You need to always ensure that the tank is fully filled when you’re starting the ironing. Antiscale design It’s disappointing that I have to buy expensive distilled water for it, but I’ll put up with that for the quality of the finish.

Verdict Mumsnetters love this brand for its long-lasting, high-quality products, and previous customers agree that it is an effective and efficient model. It glides in on a scratch-resistant durilium soleplate, with 30% more steam holes and a powerful 210g steam shot that’ll even de-crease heavy-duty fabric like denim.The main difference between a steam iron and a steam generator iron is that steam generators have separate large water tanks, which are much more convenient and have a larger capacity to produce more steam. It also means the handheld iron is lightweight without any water in it.
