Russell Hobbs Easy Store Pro Wrap & Clip Iron 26730 review

About the Russell Hobbs Easy Store

The 26730 is a conventional corded iron with a built-in 320ml water tank. Its main idea is storage: the cord wraps around the base and a clip holds it there, so the iron goes into a cupboard or drawer without a trailing lead. It is not cordless.

Power is 2400W. Russell Hobbs gives 45g/min of continuous steam and a 180g steam shot for stubborn creases, and there is a vertical steam function for curtains and hanging garments. A retailer listing gives a heat-up time of about 30 seconds and describes a self-clean function.

The soleplate is non-stick ceramic, described by the brand as scratch resistant. The iron stands 176mm high, and one UK retailer lists its weight as 1.3kg. The brand's page does not list the cord length, the temperature settings or the box contents, so check those on the listing before you buy.

Who the Russell Hobbs Easy Store suits

Buy it if you have a small flat, a shared cupboard or a drawer where a loose cord is a nuisance, and your ironing is shirts, bedding and everyday clothes. The clip storage is the reason to choose it, and the 2400W motor with a 180g shot is enough for routine creases.

Look elsewhere if you iron a lot or deal with heavy fabrics. It heats and recovers more slowly than 3100W models, and 45g/min of continuous steam is middling. The Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 20630 or the Breville DiamondXpress VIN401 have more power and larger tanks. If you want to move freely without a lead, the Tefal Freemove Power FV6672G0 is cordless.
