Russell Hobbs LA053992 Collapsible Ironing Board with Wheels, 135 x 45 cm
06 Aug, 2020
Best one we've EVER had.............
Okay, so it's just an ironing board but this is a very well made bit of kit. We've had the use of several over the years (Ours,friends,family....) and all have worked well until something just breaks.... and you buy again. Usually it is the plastic wheels set in the sllder adjustment mechanism or the handle to release it.
Some also wobble as they are a bit flimsy. The feet covers usually split/come off.
Russell Hobbs is a well known brand and this board is so well made it that their reputation is intact.
The slider mechanism uses blocks set into custom channels (not wheels) and the fit is tight but smooth.
The tubular legs are thicker than any I've seen - really sturdy - and the T-bar legs are welded all the way around,not spot welded like others we've used. The plastic feet covers are like golf balls and are substantial. Best gizmo are the wheels to help you slide it into that tight space - cool idea! And the piece-de-resitance? It has two adjustment handles so left hookers like me can raise and lower it with ease.
The iron rest is seperate so it can be put anywhere and because there is no seperate tray bolted onto the actual board, the cable can't get caught between the two, as happened constantly on our last one. SO annoying. All in all, a very good substantial design. Class leader, in my view. Ta ta!
