Here you also need to pay attention to the legs so as not to scratch the floor.
• Iron. It is important not to be too light or too heavy. Some models have attachments for different types of fabrics. The irons are also equipped with vertical steaming, which allows you to iron things in any position.
• Steam generator. It is usually installed on legs. Main criteria:

- Boiler size. You do not need to overpay for large volumes if you rarely iron. A liter of water is designed for an hour of ironing.

- Steam supply. The higher the power, the faster the product will be ironed.

- Functionality. Models that are capable of constantly supplying steam allow you to quickly iron even a rough fabric, and, if desired, and with the presence of special attachments, steam cleaning the room. But they warm up for a long time.

• Complete set (accessories). Some models are equipped with a hose platform, steam hose holders. Others - with a fluoroplastic attachment, clothes hangers.

Council. It should be noted that not all steam generators can be refilled (filled with water) during ironing. It is better to clarify immediately so that you do not have to wait until it cools completely.

Working platform functions

• "Vacuum" - cools the fabric, removes moisture thanks to the air flow directed from top to bottom in relation to the working surface. That is, things stick to the work surface, do not slip or wrinkle. For example, this function produces perfect trousers, collars, shirt cuffs. "Vacuum" also helps to dry dense fabrics.
• "Blowing" - facilitates ironing of items of complex shape and structure, for example, items made of delicate fabrics.The ironing surface is inflated by the air flow in the opposite direction to the vacuum.
• "Heating the ironing surface" - the effect of the generated heat. The linen is well ironed on all sides.
• "Paronadduv" - atomization of the working platform. This makes it easy to iron woolen garments, scarves, polyester blouses, garments with appliqués - things that cannot be ironed.
• "Refueling". Continuous working design is more efficient, safer. This technology reduces the time of full readiness for work due to refueling during ironing. For safety reasons, the boiler is located inside the system. Some models have an additional container for cold water.
