Russell Hobbs Buying Tips You Should Know
Water in the Tank
Russell Hobbs test all their steam irons before leaving the factory. Sometimes, when you receive your iron, you may find some residue water left in the bottom of the water tank. Some buyers are concerned that they have received a second hand, used or returned steam iron. That is not the case for the reason explained above.
Russell Hobbs Warranty
Russell Hobbs offer a 2 year warranty on their steam irons. You can also register your product online and this will get you an extra year's warranty. You need to enter your name, email, and postcode. You then enter the model number, date of purchase and place of purchase. Click here for the product registration page.
Buying from the Manufacturer or through other Retail Shops or Online
The price a Russell Hobbs steam iron is sold at is determined by the individual retailer. Manufacturers sell directly from their website but they also sell at wholesale rates to various retailers. That is good for competition but does mean that we have to search around for the best price.
There are also special offers and these vary a lot from various retail outlets.
