Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100 W Vertical Steam Iron 20630 - Black and Grey

Product Information

Ironing aids or fragrance water could have been added to the water tank. This can cause problems with the steaming function, causing water to leak. Use only tap water or distilled water or a mixture of these two types of water. 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.

If you are looking for a solid, easy-to-use, high-performance iron for a budget price, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Powersteam Ultra. Laura started writing Swears By articles for Mumsnet in 2021 and now has responsibility for laundry content. She writes buyers guides, cleaning articles, including how to care for jumpers and knitwear, and tests products, including the Wilton London laundry range, to help Mumsnetters make informed choices when it comes to parting with their pennies. If the iron is motionless, it will switch off after about 30 seconds lying down, or about 8 minutes if it’s upright.

The steam shot only works on the steam or high steam settings. To use it, simply lift the iron off the fabric and press the steam shot button, which can be found to the right of the steam control button. You have to leave four seconds between shots to allow the temperature to build up. Make sure the iron is plugged into a working mains power and set the temperature dial to a desired position. Steam setting is being used at too low a temperature - The steam function should be switched to "no steam" when using the iron at lower temperatures or the water tank shoud be emptied. 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. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the index mark. The light will come on.

Also, if there is remaining water in the soleplate from the last usage, the smoke observed may actually be water evaporating. However, these will stop after a short while. 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.The button cut-outs on either side of the ceramic soleplate’s tip are excellent. They mean that when you’re ironing shirts or the like you can get up-close to the button, which gives an impressively professional finish.

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. To switch on again, lift it up, tilt it forward, then sit it upright to return to operating temperature. No settings are lost during auto shut-off. 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. Just one touch of those chunky buttons delivers a powerful 210g steam shot, and the iron provides 70g continuous steam. The Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra can also be used for vertical steaming - great for blasting out wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains and furnishing fabrics. Also, to prevent shiny patches, you can put a cloth (e.g. a tea towel) between the iron and the fabric.
