Russell Hobbs iron slashed to £18.99 from £49.99 is ‘great for school shirts' – save 62%
Top branded electricals can be expensive, but the Russell Hobbs Supreme Steam Iron currently has a mega discount, reducing it to £18.99.
The end of the summer holidays is less than two weeks away, and back to school means the return of ironing for many families.
School and work shirts, pleated skirts and other fabrics that crease easily require some serious attention to look crisp and crease-free.
The Russell Hobbs iron usually comes at a premium, but if you're not prepared to spend almost £50 on one, now's the time to invest on Amazon.
It's all about practicality, with a large 300ml water tank that will last a while before needing a top up.
There's a steam shot for extra-creased fabrics in need of a boost, and a self-clean function keeps the stainless steel plate scale-free to ensure it remains in good condition for as long as possible.
The unique vertical steam option is also handy to have, allowing you to steam clothes while they're hanging up - particularly handy for longer garments like trousers, which can be tricky to keep flat on an ironing board.
You can also use the continuous steam flow when doing vertical ironing, which works well for curtains.
Shoppers are leaving their feedback on the iron, which has racked up a whopping 28,000 reviews.
One shopper said: ''Great - not too heavy, large water tank.''
''Great on school shirts.''
Another commented: ''Great iron, my old iron decided to retire and this is one sale just in time - such a bargain.''
''Very easy to use, glides easily and very lightweight, the water compartment is just the right size and easy to fill.''
''Happy with my bargain purchase.''
While a third shopper added: ''Great iron, makes the job so much easier.''

Labour poised to take control of Gupta's UK steel factories
The Government is poised to take over operations at Britain's third largest steelworks, aiming to save 1,500 jobs at Sanjeev Gupta's Rotherham-based factory. The High Court heard on Wednesday that the Government's official receiver is ready to step in as administrator if Mr Gupta is unable to finalise a rescue deal involving £75m from US giant BlackRock. 'The official receiver is prepared, should SSUK [Speciality Steel UK] enter into compulsory liquidation, to take control of SSUK's affairs,' the Department for Business and Trade said in a letter to Mr Gupta's creditors. The letter said the Government had held discussions with SSUK but had not been negotiating any taxpayer financial assistance to either Mr Gupta or any potential buyer of the company. The Government said it was also not discussing putting SSUK under state ownership. That 'would be the subject of formal ministerial decision, and no such decisions have been made'. The submission comes as creditors of SSUK seek to shut down the company in order to claim their debts. Mr Gupta is looking to avoid his company falling into the hands of the official receiver by in effect liquidating the company himself and using his fresh BlackRock funding for what the court was 'a management buyout'. In a court hearing, Judge Sally Barber said she could not decide on the spot whether to wind up SSUK – in effect putting the company under potential government management – or to let Mr Gupta go ahead with his plan. The judge said she needed more information on what would happen, saying she could not decide 'on a completely blind basis' having not seen a draft application from the official receiver. The matter is likely to return to court in the coming days, piling pressure on the Government to be more explicit about its plans for the cash-strapped plant.

Hertz partners with Amazon Autos to sell used vehicles online
Aug 20 (Reuters) - Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ.O), opens new tab said on Wednesday its car sales unit was partnering with (AMZN.O), opens new tab automotive retail platform, Amazon Autos, to sell pre-owned vehicles, sending the car rental company's shares up 7% in early trading. Shares of used-car retailers fell, with Avis Budget Group (CAR.O), opens new tab down 6%, Carvana (CVNA.N), opens new tab losing 4.2% and CarMax (KMX.N), opens new tab shedding 1.4%. The collaboration builds on Amazon Autos' recent expansion into used-vehicle sales, Hertz said. Amazon launched Amazon Autos last year to expand the online retail platform's services to include used and certified pre-owned vehicles, with participating dealers in more than 130 U.S. cities. Hertz and Amazon will start offering their service within 75 miles of Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Seattle, with plans to expand to Hertz Car Sales' 45 locations across the United States. Estero, Florida-based Hertz Global operates its car rental business through its Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly vehicle-rental brands across 160 countries, and also operates a car-sharing business in Europe. Its Hertz Car Sales brand offers used cars for sale online and at locations across the U.S. Hertz has been pressured by bumpy rental demand, forcing it to shed much of its electric-vehicle fleet in favor of gas-powered cars over the past few years. It has also drawn scrutiny over its AI-powered sensors - used to check returned vehicles for damage - which some customers say have frequently misfired. Hedge-fund billionaire Bill Ackman boosted his stake in Hertz earlier this year to nearly 20% through his investment management company Pershing Square, expressing confidence in the management's efforts to reduce costs to improve profit margins over the next several years despite ongoing tariff pressures.
