Rating of the best irons of 2019 for quality and reliability

American Henry Seely (Henry Seely), this particular person needs to be thanked for the fact that in June 1882 he invented the world's first electric iron. The first model was called Electric flat iron, electric flat iron - literally translated into Russian.

In Russia, a similar product appeared in the early 19th century. Before that, coal-ironing devices were used for a long time. Time passed, and models replaced one after another. They have become lighter and have many additional features. In order to figure out which iron is better, create a rating of popular irons among consumers and choose the ten best models for quality and reliability.

Choose now best iron for home absolutely not difficult. But if you want to buy equipment for everyday use, for example, at a factory for sewing clothes or in the hotel business, where ironing is done several times a day, then it is better to study the rating of irons with a steam generator. The power of these household appliances is the same as for home use, but the steam supply is much stronger, which saves time during ironing.

In order to still decide what is best for use, compare the properties of the iron and the steam generator. If things are wrinkled, the steam generator will quickly cope with this problem and you can not be afraid that the delicate fabric will deteriorate. But there is one minus - a good model of a steam generator has a high price.

If we talk about the iron, then when choosing the right model, you can count on a different price category. The iron does a good job with a small amount of work. The appliance can travel with you. There are road models that take up little space. Since the water tank is located in the device itself, its weight increases, which gives a certain load on the hand during operation. And if the temperature is set incorrectly for work, there is a chance to leave an unpleasant imprint on the product.

Scarlett's SC-135S takes top of the list of irons purchased by customers in 2018, ranking tenth in the rating of irons for home use. The production of machinery is located in South and East Asia, China and the UK.

TOP 1. LOEWE Premium Power Station

The leader of our rating - a device from the German brand Loewe, which has two properties unique to steam generators.

• One temperature mode of heating the sole for any type of fabric;
• A compact device in the housing of which there is a water tank and a heating boiler.

Specifications:

• Single temperature
• Outsole Material - Ceramics with spider channel system
• Power - 800 W
• Tank - 300 ml
• Steam preparation time - 3 minutes
• Non-stick coating
• The possibility of refueling during operation
• Button Gutter
• Anti-scale system
• Drip system
• Vertical steaming
• Button Gutter
• Steam temperature at the exit - 150 degrees
• Weight - 1.6 kg
• Network cable - 2 m
• Country of origin - Germany
• Manufacturer's Warranty - 2 Years

Despite the fact that the Loewe Premium steam generator has a small tank (300 ml) and low power (800 watts), like other representatives of our rating, its design is unique at the moment and has no analogues on the Russian market. Due to the built-in boiler for heating water, steam immediately enters the fabric (there is no heat loss when steam enters from the boiler through a hose like Braun, Philips, Tefal, Laurastar), and one hole for supplying steam with a distribution channel system on the sole allows you to create a “steam pillow ”when ironing, which significantly reduces water consumption.

The key advantage that our editors highlighted is a single temperature regime for any clothing, without additional nozzles and switches.

It is also worth noting the high steam supply pressure (7 bar) compared to other models in our rating (Tefal, Braun, MIE).

The disadvantages of this model include the lack of automatic shutdown.

You just have to choose the most suitable assistant for your home and enjoy the process. A properly selected iron will become your faithful assistant for a long time. Have a nice shopping!
