Also in the application there is a "Safe Mode" that does not allow you to turn on the iron through the outlet.

  •  While some may find the case too small to be comfortable to hold, users have found that the iron's handle remains cool to the touch even when used at the highest temperature.

4. limescale protection,
5. drip protection.

How to choose the best iron for your home: important criteria

Size of iron and water tank

  •  Check the weight of your clothes iron at the store to make sure it's not too heavy. If you want to cover more fabric in one pass, choose a larger sole.

  •  If you iron a lot in one session, you will need a large water tank – from 400 ml or more. It is desirable that the tank is transparent – it is easier to keep track of how much water is left.

steam force

  •  The most efficient irons usually have a steam power of 120 to 180 g/min. Steam is your friend when ironing stubborn creases, so a powerful, long-lasting steam iron will iron your fabrics faster and better. But powerful irons will also cost more – on average, for a couple.

Security features

  •  Most modern irons automatically shut off when tipped over or not in use, but the best iron manufacturers go even further. Their devices will turn off when they are tilted for a long time in any direction, and not just when they are on the sole.

Different ironing needs

  •  If you iron a lot of heavy cotton or denim, the first thing you should know is whether your iron has a steam boost and water spray function.

  •  If you don't want to limit yourself to just clothes, check out the vertical steam function to iron curtains, coats or other items.
