To provide appliance protection and thus a long service life even in the event of occasional falls from the ironing board, Russell Hobbs has launched the Impact steam iron, a device for maximum durability and ironing comfort. Equipped with a Dura-Coat sheath that efficiently absorbs the force of an impact, it can withstand a fall from a height of up to 1.2 m without damage. The non-stick ceramic ironing soleplate ensures ideal gliding on various fabrics as well as optimal distribution of steam. With an extra steam burst of 160 g/min, variable steam of up to 45 g/min and 2,400 watts, the Impact steam iron offers very powerful product features. A self-cleaning function, the 3-fold automatic safety shut-off as well as a 3 m long cable round off the functionality of the steam iron.
