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.
