Russell Hobbs 24420 Series 1 Steam Generator Iron, 2400W, 1.3 Litre, Black/White

The Russell Hobbs 24420 Series 1 is a steam generator iron designed to make ironing more efficient and less time-consuming. Unlike traditional irons, it separates the water tank and heating element into a standalone generator unit connected to a lightweight iron by a flexible hose. This system delivers powerful, continuous steam at high pressure to tackle stubborn creases across a variety of fabrics with minimal effort. Key features include a robust 2400-watt heating element that reaches operating temperature in approximately 60 seconds, generating steam at 4.5 bar pressure with an output of 90 grams per minute. The 1.3-litre detachable water tank reduces the frequency of refills, while the continuous fill function allows for topping up during use. The iron itself features a stainless steel non-stick soleplate that glides smoothly, a precision steam tip for hard-to-reach areas like collars and cuffs, and vertical steaming capability for refreshing hanging garments or curtains. An integrated calc-cleaning system helps filter water to reduce limescale build-up and prolong the appliance's life, supported by anti-drip protection to prevent water spots on clothes. This steam generator is well-suited for households with significant ironing loads, particularly those dealing with natural fibres like cotton and linen that benefit from high-pressure steam. Its efficient design transforms a lengthy chore into a quicker task, making it a practical addition to any utility room or laundry space. The separate, lightweight iron (0.84kg) reduces arm fatigue during extended sessions, and the included 1.9-metre power and steam supply cords offer good manoeuvrability around the ironing board.
