Russell Hobbs

All russel hobbs, 8s Chinese trash, like most major brands, sucking you in with the name, russel hobbs is trash that trips power contamtly, chinese wireing rubbish, if you wamt to do an insurance burn down claim, russel h9bbs is your man.

Kettle of the century! The kettle heats quickly, it’s quiet, lightweight, pours really well and the keep warm function works brilliantly for us. I… Read more

only need to boil it once in the morning and it’s ready to go for our next two coffee’s with the two hours of keeping warm. You can choose your desired temperature depending on what hot drink you’re having. After reading reviews of the writing coming off, just as a precaution I only wipe it with a paper towel but our kettle is not kept anywhere near the cook top so there’s no chance of getting oil spatter on it. It holds more than enough water for 6 coffees without refilling it and it looks good too. Very happy with this kettle and I recommend it.

Worst kettle I have purchased , not quite at all sounds like a jet plane.

Great little steamer – I use this garnet steam over an iron for my dresses and blouses. It works a treat for silk, viscose and light weight cottons. It’s really great for… Read more

relaxing viscose fabrics that have shrunk. I also use it on heavier weight cottons and linens and whilst it doesn’t do the same as an iron, it’s good enough in my opinion. The water vessel is big enough to do perhaps 2-3 items before it needs a refill.

When looking for a new iron, it was surprising most lacked basic requirements which, for me, was: - decent cord length - auto cut-off - large water… Read more

tank - easy and clear temperature and steam settings

After buying a well known brand costing 3 times more, I had to return it. The new 'mono-temp' smart iron chosen was a failure, as it couldn't take creases out of cotton. And with a short 1.8m cord it was super frustrating. All hype and high price, but poor function.

Exchanging for this iron was a risk, as I didnt even know Russell Hobbs made irons. However, I'm glad to say it's the best iron I've ever owned.

Here's why: - a 3m cord. Rare! - A very large water tank means no need to refill half way through a basket. - the lights indicating the temperature setting are BRIGHT , with a separate colour coinciding with each of the temp settings. - Light flashes when warming up to the selected setting, it beeps once when temp is reached, and then stops flashing when heat is reached. - auto-off when not in use. - Steam settings are clear. - Non stick base glides really well over all fabrics. - Less than half the price of other brands that are seriously not up to standard. - It irons clothing brilliantly, especially collared school and work shirts, linen and jeans.

If I had to list any cons, it does take a while to heat up and cool down, and the rose gold plastic trim is not likely to stand the test of time, but minor cons as opposed to heaps of pros.

Despite hating ironing I LOVE this iron! It is heavier than expected but I feel that this makes ironing even easier.

And it was such a good price. Highly recommend.

I bought this slow cooker from Harvey Norman. It advertises a 7L capacity but is approximately 5.5L, I measured it out myself. It has the exact same… Read more

cook pot as a BigW brand contempo. I don't know where they get the 7L measurement from but should be false advertising.

I attempted to warn others via a Harvey Norman review but they blocked it, so don't trust Harvey Norman reviews if you want an accurate picture of their products.

I am not sure I had Kmart kettle and hot drinks tasted better, I am not sure why water has odd taste with this one maybe the plastic pieces inside. Maybe it will get better :(

What irritates me is that usually I always check reviews on productreview.com before making any purchases but as I was making other purchases at… Read more

Harvey Norman and saw the iron I simply purchased it. I hated that I had to add any Stars to do this Review otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered. I purchased this piece of junk on 28/6/2025 and used it today (13/8/2025) and I was absolutely disgusted with it. 26 years ago, when I came to Qld I had a Kambrook (I think), “cordless iron” which eventually “sucked a Kamara” so when I saw this RH cordless, I thought - great, and because it was the only one in stock, I purchased it for $20 less as it was a display model. Yes, I was told/asked about the use of a "cordless iron/vs normal" and said I understood because of the Cordless Iron I had used for many years until I dropped it. It was useless, it only stayed hot for a few seconds, and because it didn’t get hot enough to make "steam" the water leaked out. I have spent many many many $1,000’s at HN over the 26 years and I would have to say that this item should NOT even be an item they stock because seeing other “reviews” it’s a waste and is a bug negative for HN. UPDATE: Yesterday Friday 2 August I took my Russell Hobbs Cordless Iron back to the point of purchase, Harvey Norman, Bundall and voiced my disgust with this product and was attended to by a wonderful young Man [Name Removed] who was such a joy to talk with. After a short discussion he issued me with a Refund. I have to say that if Harvey Norman had more Staff Members like [Name Removed] who was polite and took the time to have a proper interaction with me then Harvey Norman's Customer Satisfaction with Service would increase hugely.

Had better – Worked well for a while but is very temperamental. Have nearly chucked in the bin a couple of times. Doesn’t chop well and leaves a lot stuck to bottom .

Absolute chinese rubbish, Russel Hobbs, England, what rubbish, second one on warranty, still tripps entire house, even in power pounts that are… Read more

switched of, sure fire way of burning your home to the ground, had power at house checked twice at more than what this piece of chinese trash costs, do not buy.$117 plus $500 for an electrician to tell me the product garbage.

Absolutely awesome sandwich press heats up very fast cool floating hinge cheap for its awesome functionality! Better than most brevilles I've tested it's a awesome toastie / grill for eggs bacon pancakes and more!

Best kettle ever . I bought the same one 7 years ago .its still working . The inside gets dirty due too our water quality .all you do is use a bit of… Read more

vinegar and water and boil and it comes back too brand new . The blue light only lasted 4 years but I didn't mind .I am only buying a new one as copper on bottom has faded . But the kettle is still Boiling Beautifully . Really surprised with the low reviews? RUSSELL HOBBS make the best kettles ...

Not one for writing reviews but need to say how good the air has been over the last 6 months. First it has done a great job on every function even… Read more

bacon and eggs in the morning. Being so easy to clean we have been using it for everything we can which is keeping the bench space and stove top clean as well. Our previous airfryers have become dirty quickly because you just cant get into every nook and being so painful we would not clean them as often as was probably needed. Definitely not the case with the satisfryer. It would be good if it was just a couple of inches deeper for doing large roasts. Fine with an average chicken or leg of lamb so if your feeding 4 or 5 its fine. Still it has been the best purchase for our kitchen we have ever made.

Bought the matching toaster and kettle set because I liked the simple design and they were in a reasonable price range. Unfortunately, I've had… Read more

problems with the toaster.

It looks great but doesn't always toast evenly and I'm about to return my second one because after 8 months a fault has developed and it trips the electrical circuit in the house. The first one lasted 8 months, and now the second one has done the same thing, again at 8 months.

I'll be getting a different brand of toaster, that doesn't match my kettle now.

Rubbish chinese trash, as 7sual, trips power constantly, electrician says, rubbish chinese produced trash.

WARNINGBSO HEAVY!!!!! Also I overlooked the PLASTIC centre for the Brita… so even tho ITS A glass KETTLE .. I am once again getting nano plastics!! I’m kicking myself!! I bought online through KMart

I've been looking for a kettle with the carry handle curved on top rather than on the side. As soon as I saw the cream legacy kettle online I knew it… Read more

was meant for me. It arrived quickly. And I was blown away by its sturdy stylish quality and overall magnificence. The clean expansive lines, tall easy carry handle, beautiful wide easy pour spout, the glossy black contrasting with the cream colour. This kettle is the ultimate in class and quality with a price to please the shopper. The legacy kettle is quick to boil and reasonably quiet. There is a little red light that shines near the bottom of the kettle. The only con would be the water level indicator, a little hard to see. But the fact that the kettle can be refilled from the spout certainly makes up for that. These are my first impressions. I've had many kettles in my 70 years but none has given me such pleasure as the stylish beauty of the Russell Hobbs Legacy Kettle

It leaks and I haven't even used it properly on a garment. Steam option is bung . Rapid steam meh. Lucky I have my old Russell Hobbs "easy store" iron which is 10 years old. Guess they don't make em like they used to.

A highly efficient and customisable food processor! – An amazing food processor, comes with so many different accessories depending on which type of food you are making, all the parts can be cleaned in… Read more

the dishwasher which makes it super easy to use! My previous food processor was a chore to clean manually. The processor comes with two different speeds so you can adjust it according to what you're attempting to make. I was even able to use it as a blender thanks to the included jug so I could make smoothies one day and then make sauces and dips another day. With all these seperate compartments it also means you don't have crossovers with flavours like you normally would (In a sense, the smoothie I make won't taste like the Tzatziki I made a week ago)

I will say however it seems a little complicated to put together, and other reviews of the model online seem to reflect this fact. It is a great food processor but care should be taken given the price and how the information you need to keep in mind when operating it.

Bought this to replace a previous Russell Hobbs Iron which had stopped working. Old one was great. This one is terrible - doesn't get hot enough,… Read more

leaks water all the time, sticks to the fabric, doesn't iron well. Huge disappointment and waste of money as I will now be searching for another replacement.

Stopped working after 12 months, just after the warranty expires. Powers on, but no longer heating

This vacuum sealer can be found cheaply enough around the place but you will pay DEARLY for the vacuum bags. They are crazy expensive. You cannot use… Read more

other, cheaper vacuum packing bags - you must use the Russell Hobbs branded bags.

Their vacuum bag rolls are 6m long which seems like a good amount, but once you start using them they disappear quickly, especially if you're vacuum sealing longer items like long fish fillets or root vegetables.

Doing a quick calculation I would be paying 75c to $1 per bag - it's ridiculous

I could only find Russell Hobbs branded vacuum bags that are 28cm in width. They do not offer a variety of width sizes. It's 28cm and that's it!

You need to seal and cut your own bags. So I'm paying like $1 per bag PLUS I have to make them myself by sealing and cutting them? Um, no.

The suction isn't great. It's OK if you're storing items for a short period I think, but if you want long term, shelf stable storage for a year or so or if you want to freeze something for quite a few months I would not trust it.

I'm returning this vacuum sealer. Avoid!

We have found this product to be functional and beautiful, they fit comfortably in the hand and are easy to refill.competitively priced , we have been very pleased with our purchase

No air fryer only grill – Bought this item for the air fryer feature, but came to realize there is no air frying, just the same old grill like all the other grills I had. .very dissappinted

Russell Hobbs slow cooker – I purchased this slow cooker, as my previous one was too small, but this one has plenty of room, and does a great job of cooking stews, soups and casseroles, l would highly recommend it

Product works fine until it decides to fault suddenly with normal use – Bought the product just over two years ago seemed to work fine then just suddenly had an electrical fault, was tripping the circuit breaker for the… Read more

GPO. Contacted the store (The Good Guys) where I bought it and they won't replace it, expire store and manufacturers warranty. Had an electrical issue with another Russell Hobbs product(food processor) which I returned prior to purchasing the juicer. At the prices that these products sell for, they should not fault after only 2 years. Seems suspicious that these products are only offering a 1 year warranty when they develop a fault within the 1 to 2 year mark. Would be better to by something much cheaper from another supplier if this is the case.

Purchased this toaster at The Good Guys on 11th August. Spent days trying to get a decent slice of toasted bread. It would either toast one side and… Read more

burn the other, or toast one side and the other was still white. Tried every setting and in between settings. The specs also claimed "extra deep slots, no bread left untoasted". We were using standard Woolworths bread and the centering cage only just covered it so I would hate to see what would happen with larger slices. Very disappointed. Returned it yesterday full a full refund. Will continue with my old 2 slice toaster for now. At least it toasts both sides.

Double the recipe cook time ie 2 hours on high needs 4 hours ++ extra time if final ingredients eg cream is added. Better result if you use your oven… Read more

ie 160c for 2 hours, instead of 4hrs + with this slow cooker. Disappointing, but I’ll now try doubling or trebling recipe times.

Express Air Fry Easy Clean Toaster Oven – Our first air fryer was Instant Pot Vortex. We realized we need a bigger capacity air fryer. By chance, we came across Russell Hobbs "easy clean"… Read more

air fryer, and we bought it on 31 Mar 24, Sunday. When we got home, we air fried some chicken straight away! Although the outcome was not crispy, the chicken wings were cooked and juicy. We also tried some chicken portion, still it does not give the brown or crisp outcome. Yesterday we used the pizza function, the outcome was fantastic, we were impressed. Our last test on the machine this morning was a cake. Outcome? Its good, it does not require longer baking time as compared to the conventional kind I suppose.

More importantly to me about this air fryer is, the "easy clean" function with steam. This is the ultimate reason why we had our eyes on this machine. It is so easy to clean compared to our old Instant Pot Vortex, which is impossible to clean around the coil area. Hence, oil stain accumulated. The "easy clean" function definitely cuts down the cleaning time.

Although this machine 'does not crisp or brown' the chicken like our old Instant Pot Vortex, it is easy to clean and very quiet.

Overall, this Russell Hobbs Air Fry Toaster Oven does not crisp food as compared to Instantpot airfryer. I believe it is the glass door which has a gap, this allows heat to emit from the glass door. At the end of the day, we pulled out our old Instantpot airfryer again.

Great kettle! – Had this kettle (and matching toaster) for ~6 years. Used multiple times a day and still going strong. Spout mesh/filter has only just disintegrated. Not too loud. Handle, lid and switch still perfect.
