Steam delivery methods and quality

Considering that the steam from the iron is the main element that contributes to the quality of the final result as well as to the speed and efficiency of the ironing work, it is important to know its main production and delivery characteristics.

• Steam quantity: expressed in grams per minute (g / min), this parameter is directly linked to the characteristics of the steam production boiler, i.e. the iron’s ability to withstand a certain pressure. The iron can generally work in continuous or variable steam delivery mode. In any case, it is advisable to iron in an easy and fluid way that within a minute a quantity of steam not less than about 30 grams comes out.
• Vertical steam: this function is particularly useful when you need to iron fabrics arranged vertically (curtains or hanging garments), without the need to temporarily place them on a horizontal support surface.
• Steam boost or super-steam: when ironing fabrics it is often necessary to ask the iron for a greater supply of steam in certain particularly demanding parts of the fabric. For this reason it is advisable to evaluate the characteristics of the steam shot of the appliance, which should provide, in addition to a direction of the jet only at the tip or on the whole plate, a minimum quantity of steam equal to 200g / min.

water

Going back upstream of the steam production process, let’s now analyze the use of water connected to the use of the iron.

• Descaling function:generally the iron works with distilled water or can use tap water (with limestone) if it has the appropriate descaling function which allows it to avoid the dangerous consequences of an excessive accumulation of this compound on the heating elements. If you want to use the normal water that comes out of the taps at home, you must therefore make sure that this function is present, which can usually be activated using a specific button on the body of the appliance. Otherwise, it will be necessary to consider the purchase cost of distilled water which can also be supplied, at no additional cost, by any dehumidifier already present in the house.
• Anti-drop function:the leakage of liquid water from the steam emission holes generally represents an inconvenience that should be as reduced as possible, since it tends to excessively wet the fabrics on the worktop, both in the support phase and that of lifting the iron. Some models of iron have a specific function aimed at counteracting the production of drops from the soleplate, thus preserving the most delicate items.

An iron for everyone need 

Let’s review the main types of iron , bearing in mind that each responds to different needs. Let’s evaluate the pros and cons together.

Steam iron

With iron steam iron is meant the iron by traditional ironing equipped with integrated water tank . It is suitable for those who do not have large ironing needs, in particular for small or single families, i.e. those with limited quantities of laundry to be ironed. It is distinguished by a lower steam power output compared to a model with boiler, on the other hand it has a lower working autonomy . So during an ironing session it happens to fill the tank several times with water. The steam iron has the advantage of being quiet and space- saving when compared to one with a separate boiler. Very handy are thecordless models , ie without cable for total freedom of movement.

Ironing , as we know, is not one of the easiest and most inviting things in the world. This is why choosing the best steam iron becomes essential; ironing in fact represents one of the most boring, complicated and difficult housework there is.
Yet sometimes doing so is essential , especially for some sophisticated or everyday garments that we just can’t wear creased, shirts for example. And then the purchase of a good iron becomes an essential thing , an appliance that just cannot be missing in a family.
So let’s see together what are the advice and tips to choose the right iron according to your needs in a more conscious way. There are many types with steam boilers, each with specific characteristics and therefore with a different price

HOW TO CHOOSE THE IRON

When choosing an iron there are several factors that must be taken into consideration . The types of this appliance available on the market are numerous, but to give an expository order to our guide, we can make a first fundamental distinction in two broad categories: irons with internal tank and irons with external boiler . The structurally simpler and more compact models belong to the first group, since they integrate all the components essential for their operation into a single body. In the second group we find the irons that work with the water collection and steam production unit (boiler) separated from the work plate.

Before going into the following details of the iron , we must therefore know the strengths and weaknesses of the two product categories indicated above. Once the main category in which to move has been identified, the analysis will be more simplified to further refine our choice.

Steam iron, with or without boiler

Steam iron or without boilerWell, by now you’ve made up your mind to buy your new steam iron, but you still don’t know which one to choose. Maybe you’ve always used the traditional one and you don’t know if switching to the one with a boiler can actually be an advantage. Before deciding whether it is better to buy an iron with a boiler or without, consider a few points. First decide the budget you want to dedicate to this expense. If this does not exceed 100 euros, my advice is to buy an excellent steam iron, but without a boiler. At these prices there are really good ones. On the other hand, with 100 euros you would buy a poor quality iron, which would not be of any help.

TruePower 709-1254 10-Inch Carpet Seaming Iron

Many problems in recent years have arisen thanks to the spread of dryers. Today with the dryers, all clothes must be ironed! The advantage is to be able to wash clothes even during rainy days, but then everything must be ironed. In short, what I want you to understand is simply that a newlywed couple, for a couple of shirts to be ironed a week, does not need to pay for a steam iron with boiler. We already know how tiring it is today to find the money to get married.

Feature of TruePower 709-1254 10-Inch Carpet Seaming Iron

• Heat shield protects carpet backing from overheating
• Even heat distribution facilitates melting & smooth seams

Plate shape and material of Irons

The evaluation of the iron that best suits your needs must also consider the shape of the plate shape, the number and distribution of the steam delivery holes and the material. Starting with the last of these characteristics, it is useful to know that the materials most used for the realization of this important element of the iron are steel, ceramic, Teflon and aluminum. Each with positive and negative peculiarities that we are going to illustrate below:

Steel – the most resistant of the materials used; it also lends itself to quick and easy cleaning and guarantees adequate heat distribution over the entire contact surface with the fabric, but is generally less precise in the angles.

Elements to consider in an iron with boiler

The soleplate: there is no doubt that the soleplate is the most important element for an iron. On the market there are plates of different materials, basically 3. There are stainless steel plates, those in Teflon and those in aluminum. These alloys are the most used as they are the best in heat conduction and avoid overheating of the iron. The tank: There are two types of tanks, the internal and the external one. In case of internal tank the capacity is reduced compared to the external one. The tip: irons constructed from aluminum are usually the best and the heat is concentrated at the tip. This feature is very useful when dealing with difficult areas such as collars and corners.

So before purchasing your new iron, several elements should be taken into consideration, including the tank capacity and the plate material. Other elements to consider are: the power of delivery of the jet, the comfortable and ergonomic handle and a not excessive weight of the iron (never more than 2 kilograms). Other minor features to take into consideration are: the possibility of ironing on different fabrics, the anti-limescale function, an auto shut-off system, vertical steam (useful for ironing, for example, jackets and curtains vertically), an anti-drip system and the Microsteam plate (with micro holes for steam output).

Considering the disadvantages of the iron with internal tank

In addition to the weight we have to add the lower storage capacity of the tank which is smaller for obvious reasons of space. A reduced water tank negatively affects the autonomy of the appliance itself, which will consequently require a greater number of refilling interventions or interruptions in the ironing work.

From the lesser autonomy of irons with internal tank it can already be easily understood that this category is not suitable for carrying out a prolonged activity and, when it is necessary to treat a large quantity of laundry, it is advisable to move towards tools able to guarantee greater continuity of work. In volumetric terms, the category of irons with internal tank allows on average to accumulate a quantity of water equal to 300ml, while irons with external boiler have a capacity almost always greater than one liter.

Best iron with boiler

In fact, most irons with boilers are all very good quality.Unless you consider buying a really cheap one, you will probably buy one that you will fall in love with and will never do again. want to go back.

Steam iron, with or without boiler

Steam iron or without boilerWell, by now you’ve made up your mind to buy your new steam iron, but you still don’t know which one to choose. Maybe you’ve always used the traditional one and you don’t know if switching to the one with a boiler can actually be an advantage. Before deciding whether it is better to buy an iron with a boiler or without, consider a few points. First decide the budget you want to dedicate to this expense.

Shark STEAM PRO Iron,1800W, Copper

The steam is the real strength of this iron.  The intensity and quantity of the steam jet derive from the  pressure created in the boiler. The best results are obtained with professional iron models from 5 to 7 bar of pressure.

The pressure also affects the capacity of continuous steam delivery and the ironing of fabrics. Better a model over 70 rpm. The best ones reach 130 g / min. The steam boost is used for the most difficult creases. For good results you need an iron with at least 200 g / min, while the most performing ones reach 400 g / min. Some steam generator irons are capable of delivering vertical steam , ideal for clothes, curtains or hanging items.

Feature of Shark STEAM PRO Iron,1800W, Copper

• 1800 watts of power creates professional steam.
• 9.5″ Premium Stainless Steel Soleplate with Smooth Glide maneuverability.
• Large 300 ml water tank.
  

The shape of the plate Irons

From the point of view of the shape of the plate, it should be considered that wide shapes with short points are particularly suitable for ironing simple garments such as jeans trousers and T-shirts. On the other hand, when it is necessary to iron with precision, for example, around buttons, shirt collars, etc. a narrow and elongated shape is generally more effective , with a more or less sharp point able to enter narrow angles.

Distribution and number of holes

The number and distribution of the holes is more difficult to evaluate in terms of impact on the quality of the work, however it may be useful to know that a homogeneous presence of holes over the entire surface of the plate generally leads to a high smoothness of movement on the fabric. , while a reduced number of holes, perhaps concentrated more towards the iron point, allows to be more precise in the details.

At this point, we have dealt with the main features present on the iron, but to complete our guide we cannot ignore other factors that contribute to the final decision. These are, in particular, the price, materials and brand of the manufacturer.

Steam iron, with or without boiler

If ironing is one of the activities you do most often in your home, then consider buying an iron with a boiler. This will save you time and effort. Compared to traditional irons, the boiler ones, even cheaper, allow you to have a larger tank and therefore a continuous steam for longer. Having to fill the tank fewer times will certainly save you a lot of time. Also consider the type of clothing you find yourself ironing most often. If you usually iron a lot of shirts and dresses, then you need a boiler iron. Steam in boiler irons has more pressure, so the ironing quality is higher, and with garments that usually require more passes, with boiler irons the passes decrease significantly.

Finally, also consider where you will go to iron and place your iron. If your house is large enough and you have a table where you can constantly keep the iron resting, then don’t think twice, this is the best choice for you. When you have everything close at hand and you don’t have to start the ironing process by taking the iron from the cabinet, the stand, the clothes etc., the process takes much less time. The advantages in terms of speed and quality of ironing with an iron with a boiler are considerable compared to the traditional iron. If all the points listed here reflect your situation, then you will no longer have any doubts as to which is the best product to buy.

Rowenta DW8080 Professional Micro Steam Iron

The most appropriate weight of an iron is about one and a half kilograms. If it is higher you will have a harder time ironing while one that is too light could mean low quality. If this aspect is particularly important to you, we recommend an iron with a boiler, which as we have seen is lighter without a water tank.

Feature of Rowenta DW8080 Professional Micro Steam Iron

How to consider the price before buying Irons

As for the price, we must immediately say that its entity, in addition to being understandably linked to the quality of the materials, the power and the technological and functional characteristics of the iron, also depends on the possible distribution and assistance network that it manufacturer guarantees in terms of ancillary services.

In principle, if we plan to use the iron frequently and for long work sessions with more or more delicate garments, it is reasonable to move towards powerful products, with resistant materials and advanced technology. These features will inevitably lead to a higher than average price, but should guarantee a greater working capacity and life span of the appliance. Conversely, if the purchase of iron is aimed at a person who needs to iron only occasionally, then you can be satisfied with cheaper products.

Let us also remember that the cost of the iron also contributes to the consumption of energy and, possibly, of distilled water. Especially for the first type of consumption, it is important to avoid buying models that are oversized in terms of power.
