Took delivery today of the Russell Hobbs light weight steam iron, if you read the other reviews you wouldn't buy it , I looked beyond that and purchased this iron. The iron arrived in a Russell Hobbs Box, all intact and cable ties, plug prong protectors and totally brand new. No obvious water in the tank, but if there had then I would expect this as they must test these for leaks and steam production also the real give away is the sticker stating may contain some residual water after testing, see picture. The iron was only half filled for this test and duly plugged in to heat up, set to max on the dial and steam setting to Max. The power indicator lit and came up to the set temperature very quickly. I chose a shirt to give it the hardest test possible, a pure linen that was creased from the wash and now bone dry (would normally iron this damp) this was going to be tough. The video is awkward as both hands needed to iron but one holding the camera so not the best view. The iron dealt with the linen like a champ and produced very acceptable results. How people can say it doesn't get hot enough or it looked used .....(I take these with a pinch of salt, read between the lines). Using occasional extra bursts of steam where needed for stubborn creases. Over all the result was very good, over the next couple of weeks I will be giving it further trials on varied shirts , jeans and trousers and update this review then. The iron is well made , soleplate well fitted and finished producing good results to the tested linen shirt. Care will be needed with the water filler cover as excessive force will cause the pivots to break , also the steam selector must be in the center position or it fouls the water flap when opening, just a care item not a deal breaker. The mains cable is only 2m (previous Russell Hobbs iron was 3m) I adequate but slightly too short , standard modern manufacturing cost cutting. Amazon don't give a weight for this iron , most irons are anything from 1.1kg to 1.5kg so I weighed this one 720g that is light, see the pictures. All in all this light weight iron is a winner, with regards to the "alledged used ones with water in" I doubt it , seeing as all electrical items manufactured need to be tested especially ones with water, the giveaway is the sticker actually on the iron water tank and also on the box stating may contain remains of testing water .......need I say more . I will update this review after a few weeks of use but so far well deserved of the 5Stars Very good value at £19.79 ( annoying that the next day its on at £18.99 ) Update After much use this iron still performs beautifully and well worth the money , light weight in use but does not affect its effectiveness in removing creases. 10/10

Product Review: Morphy Richards Turbo Glide Steam Iron I recently bought the Morphy Richards Turbo Glide as a replacement for my iron that had lasted over 10 years, and I’m really pleased with it. I found it competitively priced, especially as it was on offer, which made it even better value. What I liked straight away is that it has like-for-like functions compared to my old iron, so the transition was very easy with no steep learning curve. It’s a nice weight – solid enough to feel sturdy but not too heavy – and the cord is a good length, which makes it much easier to move around when ironing. Overall, I’d recommend this iron to anyone looking to replace theirs. It’s a good quality option that’s simple to use, not too heavy, and has a good range of practical, easy-to-use functions.

Good iron, does the job. The cover over the water spout is not the best quality and easily come loose is you knock it.

Excellent nice and light to use and does what it says glides

Great iron. So easy to use and no water dripping when you iron.

Had this iron a little over a month now. It’s not too heavy, holds a decent amount of water, the steam function is really good and makes light work of my never-ending pile of ironing!

After many years, I replaced my faithful Murphy Richards iron with a newer, shinier version of the turbo glide. It irons well and I’ve been pleased with it so far. The only issue for me is that the water chamber empties quickly and needs to be refilled with distilled or deionized water. Recommended.

This iron arrived this morning. I had saved ironing in readiness. Absolutely lovely to use. My previous iron was a Tefal and bitterly disappointed so decided on Morphy Richards Amazons Choice. To be able to see the water level is a real bonus. The second bonus is the three metre cord. Two steam switches is also handy although I only used the lower one which was perfect. The booster steam will be ideal for heavy clothes such as jeans etc. It’s early days but so far so good. I loved using it. The price excellent and all in all worth every penny and can thoroughly recommend it. If you need a replacement iron go for it !!

Didn't work for a year and broke down.

It has leakage and not totally dripping proof.

Replacing an older (heavier) really good Morphy Richards iron I've had for over 10 years, this one's a little lighter (old one: 1.6kg!) but it has a larger tank (great) and glides quite a bit easier (even better). Verdict: Overall better than the old one! You could do a lot worse..
