Best Irons & Steam Generators

Very happy with my iron would definitely recommend it to my family and friends Show details

Satisfied, but it doesn't compare to the S6a full ironing system Show details

Recently traded in my Laurastar Iron for a new once & couldn't be more happy. The staff were efficient, extremely helpful & prompt. There products are top quality & makes ironing so easy & enjoyable. Thank you Laurastar & Staff. Highly recommend :) Show details

Frustrating iron, leaks water badly – Given how much we paid for this iron, it's so frustrating that it spurts out water with monotonous regularity. Sick of having clothes only half ironed and there are areas of wet patches, not to mention how wet my ironing board gets. Show details

its great, disappointed though it had to be replaced within a couple of weeks of receiving it Show details

My god, I actually like ironing now, it is technology in motion Show details

One word; Perfect. what else is there to say about it?

I purchased the Philips Azur Elite Steam Iron on 22/04/2022, expecting a high-quality, long-lasting product from a well-known brand. Unfortunately,… Read more

it did not meet expectations. I only used it once a week for normal household ironing, yet it developed problems very quickly and eventually stopped working properly.

The steam output became inconsistent, and the overall build quality feels poor for a product marketed as premium. To make matters worse, the customer service has been terrible. I tried contacting Philips online and by phone — waited over an hour with no response — and also sent an email with no reply. This is completely unacceptable.

For the price paid, this iron is not worth it. Cheaper irons from stores like Kmart last just as long, sometimes even longer.

Very disappointing product and even worse customer service. I will not be buying Philips again.

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.

Best iron I have ever had! – Love this iron. It’s weight is perfect and it irons like a dream. Show details

This is the worst iron I have had, bought it to replace another Russell Hobbs iron, it doesn't steam, have enough heat, and you can't see how much water is in the tank. Show details

Much more practical – Easy to use and always delivers crisp results. Price was reasonable Show details

Superb – It's fast, produces sharp lines and nails my shirts. Couldn't care less about the cord length. Oh and it looks a million bucks too

Pros Compact and well thought out design with lock mechanism to stop iron from falling out, gaps to hold the cords so they don't just hang there.… Read more

Gone are the days of having to wrap your cords around the iron! Stand on base of iron offers added support when placing iron on flat surfaces the ironing board. Love the colour and design-rose gold is so sexy. Easy to use- just as water and turn on. Change the mode to whatever suits your item. I tend to just stick to the default mode. I had doubts it would be effective when ironing clothes on a hanger, but it surprised me! Had some creases on a dress that had been slightly crushed in the wardrobe and the steam just ironed them out, or rather, steamed them out! So little effort. I could also place my hands early without getting burnt (had to hold up top of dress). Stream is powerful, without spraying out of control or spit hot water on you. Continuous stream function is great. Great for stream ironing clothes on hangers. Iron glides so easily, even over bumps and buttons. Cords are a good length, not too long and not too short.

Cons But chunkier than your average iron due to its extra functionality as a steam iron which requires 2L of water. Instruction manual was too vague, just a few cryptic icons/diagrams. Needs proper instructions especially if first time use to stream ironing. Images not easy to decipher and follow. My mum would struggle with this! Had to google videos and instructions to make sure I was doing it right too. The water container is a bit stiff to take out so I was paranoid about doing that incorrectly and breaking something. Again, had to you YouTube to make sure I hadn't missed something.

Unhappy Ironer – My Sunbeam Iron made landfill in less than 6 months due to the internal container which kept the water for steaming garments shooting out rusty… Read more

water. Very disappointing that a leading brand name like Sunbeam cannot make a relatively cheap iron ($50 from Target) which can last more than 6 months. In my calculation if I bought a Sunbeam iron every 6 months for the next 20 years then I would have spent a $1000 and created alot of landfill with what I would have to throw out, including the packaging. Wouldn't it be great if reputable companies could produce products which lasted alot longer using components which last the distance?

Works perfectly – I needed this for iron on patches and it worked great. I've never really ironed before using this. Show details

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. Show details

Long lasting, efficient and inexpensive – My Kambrook Steamline has given me more years and more reliability than any other iron I have used in 60 years. This could be me being more careful but i think it is the affordable, easy to use product. Nice long cord. Show details

Nightmare – Bought today when in town, living miles from a store to return it to and it’s faulty. Indicator light does not come on when it’s plugged in then the… Read more

light is on only intermittently. For the cost of travelling to return it I could have bought a Sunbeam. Not happy at all with this product.

The pointy end of this iron does not get hot, hence it bunches up clothing, and only the middle of the plate heats and it does not get hot enough to… Read more

iron anything properly. Very disappointing. Purchased in 2025. I will have to buy another iron as this one is useless.

I have heard mine for 3 years now and I love it. I surely recommend this product. I don’t have to worry about burning anything and whether I forgot to turn it off. It’s so powerful, my ironing time was cut in half Show details

Makes ironing bareable – Glides easily, heats up quickly and really high, great for linen and denim, and the most delicate fabrics. It has auto shut off and beeps when left on without being used. I will only ever buy Sunbeam irons again.

This was bought from Harvey Norman to replace our previous Tefal steam iron. The problem with the previous one was the calcium buildup, but this one has a calcium filter. It is lighter, and seems to use slightly less water. Very happy with it.

Awesome – Great price. Looks good. Big water tank. Not too heavy or bulky. I love this item. Replaced my tefal that was four times the price. The steam function cannot be beaten. Fabulous Show details

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.

I've had this iron for about 2 maybe 3 years. Can't recall how long we have had it now. It's really good, never had an issue. Heat is really good.… Read more

This is our first cordless iron and I love it. I'll never go back to a cordless iron. When you take the iron off the charging base the heat stays in the iron for the time it takes me to iron a shirt. If I put it back on the base, it heats up in seconds. Doesn't take long. Steam function is great. Plenty of steam if needed. The spray is actually good too... and nice mist. Build quality is 10 out of 10. The coating on the base is great, I've had other irons where the base burns or gets sticky. Never had that problem with this one. When I've forgotten to turn the iron off, it has an automatic safety feature that turns the iron off. Very good.

I highly recommend this iron. If it stopped working (don't see that happening) I would buy it again for sure.

Would give zero if possible. Bought the iron based on web reviews. Absolute dud. The "Optimal Temp" function was hopeless. Could not actually iron anything. !! Stay away from this expensive rubbish. Show details

Totally most useless iron!!! – it is really a very disappointing iron, costly quite totally useless iron for the value of money that you have paid for. ii is not very hot which is… Read more

really irritating and u hv to keep on pressing the steam. not only that, it starts leaking water after 4 pieces of clothes after less than 6 months after purchase. i only iron once fortnightly and i believed it was not due to overworking. its is really a very very useless steam iron, totally useless and not value for money!

GREAT PERFORMANCE AND GREAT VALUE – For the likes of me I seem to disagree with other ratings about this product. With my personal and honest experience that I’ve had with the Philips… Read more

s5000 Steam Iron I would have to Recommend this product without any doubts. Outstanding performance Very pleased and Great Value for money. I Iron all my work shirts every week for the entire working week and I’m happy with the end results. The only negative fault is checking the Water level having the plastic be so dark which it isn’t-really that hard to do so anyway. Highly recommended

Most Expensive Doorstop I ever bought! Utterly terrible iron. I really have tried for the last 3 motnhs but I will not use it again. Bought it to… Read more

replace a CareStyle 5 (which I was happy with). Steam doesn't shoot down onto what you're ironing but out the sides. It constantly fogs up my glasses & scolds my hands (no, not because I can't see). Doesn't iron cotton & linen very well at all. Collars are still wrinkled and not presentable. That large water reservoir they really emphasise in the marketing?? You go through more steam than the CareStyle 5. The CareStyle 5 will iron front & back of a shirt at same time but CareStyle 9 does not so my ironing time instantly doubled. The constant refilling of the water reservoir also increases my time. I find it difficult to remove from caddy & when full, difficult to slide back in to caddy. Ironing pants now has "iron wrinkles" when I used it because I can't get my hands close enough to smooth the fabric or they are scolded. Forget trying to iron pleats in shirts, or small pieces of fabric. At times it is painful to get it out of the caddy. It now sits as a door stop. It does not deserve 1 Star!
