Quick answer: the best Russell Hobbs steam generator is the Quiet SuperSteam 24470: 7 bar, 200g/min of steam and a quieter pump. The budget Steam Power 24420 is currently unavailable at Amazon UK, so on a tight budget choose the Philips 2000 Series PSG2000 instead.
Russell Hobbs is the value brand of the steam generator world. Its irons don’t have the smart features of Tefal or Philips, but they deliver a lot of steam for the money. The newest model, the Midnight Quiet SuperSteam Pro 28620, claims 250g/min and one-temperature ironing, but it was out of stock at Amazon UK when we last checked. The popular 24430 Power 95 Station has been discontinued.
