Ironing Made Easier with Discounted Appliance
Ironing can be one of the more time-consuming household chores, particularly when faced with stubborn creases and larger loads of laundry. With energy costs and household budgets remaining a concern for many families, discounted home appliances continue to attract attention from those looking to upgrade everyday essentials without overspending.
The Russell Hobbs 27000 Diamond Elite Steam Iron is currently available from Argos for £48, reduced from its usual £80 price tag. The deal saves customers £32. The iron comes in a black and silver finish and currently holds a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 403 reviews.
Features Designed for Effortless Laundry
According to Russell Hobbs, the appliance is designed to "Make laundry day effortless". The iron features a black diamond-infused ceramic soleplate designed to glide smoothly across fabrics while helping tackle tough creases. Powered by 3100W, it heats up in under 30 seconds, helping users get through ironing more quickly.
The appliance also includes a generous 350ml water tank for larger loads and can deliver up to 220g/min of steam to tackle stubborn wrinkles. A vertical steam function allows it to be used on hanging clothes and curtains, while variable steam settings provide greater control depending on fabric type.
Additional features include an anti-drip system designed to prevent water marks, a soft-grip handle for comfort during use and an auto shut-off function when left unattended. Russell Hobbs has also included anti-scale and self-cleaning functions to help prolong the iron's lifespan. A three-year guarantee is available when the product is registered.
Customer Reviews and Alternatives
The Russell Hobbs model has proved popular with Argos customers. One happy customer wrote: "Bought this a couple months back and was really happy that I did! It’s a great quality iron, glides and steams efficiently." Another satisfied customer said: "I bought this iron to replace my old one that finally broke. I'm happy with it. It irons well and glides over clothes with ease. The only downside is that it is quite heavy. But other than that I'm pleased with it!"
Not every review was as positive, however. One buyer commented: "This iron is very heavy and steam levels disappointing." A less impressed reviewer wrote: "I brought this iron and I'm really disappointed. Yes excellent price in the sale. It is heavy, I don't mind that. But the steam output is rubbish. You have to constantly wait for it to 'boil' back up again." A final five-star review added: "Really glad to have it. Its easy to handle and steamer works so well. Will definitely recommend."
For those considering alternatives, the Breville DiamondXpress Steam Iron is currently available on Amazon for £40. Featuring 3100W of power, a 200g steam shot, a multi-directional diamond ceramic soleplate and a 400ml water tank, it offers similar specifications at a slightly lower price point. Meanwhile, the Tower Ceraglide 3100W Iron has been reduced from £35 to £28 at Dunelm.
