It’s fully charged in 11 seconds and will give you around 30 seconds of ironing time at once. When power gets low, a smart light and beep will alert you to the fact the iron needs recharging. We felt that the iron’s charge didn’t last quite as long as some other brands, but this is still a high-quality iron that does an excellent job of zipping over fabrics and removing creases, but perhaps just not the best for big loads. The Russell Hobbs Freedom iron has a pleasing weight to it, alongside a well-shaped and slightly larger soleplate. A larger plate means it’s particularly good at dealing with stubborn wrinkles and creases, and this is aided by a 135g/min steam shot, as well as continuous 40g/min steam. The iron’s handle lights up to indicate charging status and takes around 40 seconds to charge from cold. Although it holds its heat for a fair amount of time, it takes a lengthy 25 seconds to recharge once it’s cooled down, which might not be ideal if you’ve got a pile of ironing to get through. With 48g/min of continuous steam, the Phoenix Gold FreeFlight was nice and steamy. At top heat, with the steam selector on, it needed refilling after 33 minutes. To get sheets super-crisp and press any wrinkles out of dry linen, I found I had to use the iron with the base clipped to it. The makers advise doing this for tough jobs, to impressive effect – but it felt a little peculiar. I had the unnerving feeling I was doing something I shouldn’t, and it was clunky. The Phoenix Gold FreeFlight didn’t manage to get all the crinkles out of bone-dry heavy linen, but that’s a difficult challenge, and I didn’t really expect it to. However, it produced nice results on fabrics that were slightly damp, and ironed well through four layers of a folded sheet.

How To Return A Product For the following locations next day delivery may take up to two working days: Aberdeen (AB 30-35, 41-54), Northern Highlands (AB 36-38, 55-56), FK (17-21), HS (1-8), IV (All), KW (0-14), PH (15-32, 34-48), Eire (Republic of Ireland) (EI (ZZ75) (All)), Glasgow (G 83), Guernsey (GY 9), Oban (HS 9, KA 28, PA 20-99, PH 33, 49-99), Isle of Man (IM (All)), Arran (KA 27), Orkney Shetland (KW 15-99, ZE (All)) and Cornwall (TR 21-25). As well as the usual steam settings, there’s also a turbo steam button located under the handle for an extra burst. It also has a MicroScale filter, which helps to reduce limescale stains on your clothes by filtering out limescale particles – making it one of the better choices on the market if you live in a hard water area. Vertical steam function allows you to use the iron like a steamer and remove creases from hanging garments or curtains with ease.

Soleplates are almost inevitably ceramic on modern irons and a larger plate will mean faster ironing. Of course, the bigger the plate, the larger and heavier the iron will be, so do consider this if weight is likely to be an issue for you. The soleplate is large and smooth, and there’s even a texture brush attachment to remove any debris before ironing. Our only slight criticisms are that there’s no built-in de-calc facility – so, depending on how hard your water is, you’ll need to buy and use a descaler from time to time – and the iron is heavier than many others. Working days are defined as Monday-Friday 8am-7pm inclusive, excluding Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. Next Day & Named Day Delivery If you live in a hard water area, anti-calc and anti-scale features are a big plus, and many irons also have automatic cleaning systems. All this helps to prevent drips onto your clothes and, more importantly, prevents limescale build-up in your iron. It’s also worth considering the size of the water tank since the smaller it is, the more you’ll need to refill it. If you often need to do a lot of ironing in one go, look for a tank capacity of at least 300ml. Designed for reliable everyday performance, the smooth ceramic soleplate effortlessly glides over fabrics, delivering a smooth, crease-free result, even on delicate fabrics.

With a smooth ceramic soleplate and concentrated steam drive, the JML Phoenix Gold Steam Iron makes it easy to fly through even the largest laundry piles.

Anti-scale for hassle free maintenance. Anti-drip system to protect your clothes from water spillages. The iron feels sturdy and is well made, as you would no doubt expect from Russell Hobbs. We particularly liked the base, which illuminates with different colours to display when the iron is heating, ready for use or recharging. It’s also easy to get on and off the base for recharging. As a bonus, it comes with good, clear instructions on the iron as well as in the separate booklet. An anti-drip feature will stop water from leaking onto your ironing. Some models also have anti-scale and anti-calc features, alongside a self-clean mode – all useful but not essential.
