Russell Hobbs iron slashed to £18.99 from £49.99 is ‘great for school shirts’ – save 62% 

Ironing is a necessary yet annoying chore, but a really good iron can vastly improve the results.

Top branded electricals can be expensive, but the Russell Hobbs Supreme Steam Iron currently has a mega discount, reducing it to £18.99.

The end of the summer holidays is less than two weeks away, and back to school means the return of ironing for many families.

School and work shirts, pleated skirts and other fabrics that crease easily require some serious attention to look crisp and crease-free.

The Russell Hobbs iron usually comes at a premium, but if you’re not prepared to spend almost £50 on one, now’s the time to invest on Amazon.

It’s all about practicality, with a large 300ml water tank that will last a while before needing a top up.

There’s a steam shot for extra-creased fabrics in need of a boost, and a self-clean function keeps the stainless steel plate scale-free to ensure it remains in good condition for as long as possible.

The unique vertical steam option is also handy to have, allowing you to steam clothes while they’re hanging up – particularly handy for longer garments like trousers, which can be tricky to keep flat on an ironing board.

You can also use the continuous steam flow when doing vertical ironing, which works well for curtains.

Shoppers are leaving their feedback on the iron, which has racked up a whopping 28,000 reviews.

One shopper said: ‘’Great – not too heavy, large water tank.’’

‘’Great on school shirts.’’

Another commented: ‘’Great iron, my old iron decided to retire and this is one sale just in time – such a bargain.’’

‘’Very easy to use, glides easily and very lightweight, the water compartment is just the right size and easy to fill.’’

‘’Happy with my bargain purchase.’’

While a third shopper added: ‘’Great iron, makes the job so much easier.’’
