About the brand

The manufacturing company was born a little over a decade ago. Working against the background of well-known manufacturers of household appliances in the middle price category, the brand soon became known throughout Europe and beyond.

The efforts of the brand's engineers and designers are focused on the development of just such devices.

• product quality;

Criteria for choosing an iron or steamer

Steam ironing appliances and many iron models are similar in design. So both positions consist of: hose, tank and heating element. Also, some elements of household appliances have a built-in replaceable brush for removing stains to smooth out folds and creases on clothes, like steamers.

The devices are similar in principle of operation. In a steamer, water is heated to ninety degrees in a water heating device, forming a cloud of hot steam that moves up and out of the nozzle holes. Such a device has various modes, and most housewives prefer such a device to an iron. Many people think that a steamer is more effective for smoothing textiles, but this opinion is not entirely correct. In order not to make a mistake when choosing a device, you should carefully read the capabilities and functionality of each device.

Steamer

The device, which allows you to smooth any kind of clothes using steam, consists of a heat exchanger and a container with water. When comparing a device with a steam iron, its indisputable advantage is that it can even smooth winter outerwear directly on a hanger or a person. And in the process of this action, the textiles do not even touch the hot metal surface. When ironing with an iron, this effect cannot be achieved, and any fabric can be burned for a long time when the hot sole is touched.

In the steamer, hot water, converted to a gaseous state, penetrates the material, gently straightening it. In addition, the device perfectly copes with silk and synthetic fabrics without causing any harm. The device is also an indispensable assistant if the clothes have a complex cut or delicate fabric. However, with fabrics such as cotton or satin, the steamer copes with a "C with a minus", so in such cases it is best to use an iron with the option "steam ironing" or "steam boost".

The device steamer does a good job with underwear. It will be an indispensable item during voyages and business trips, as it will perfectly cope with several things that are jammed in a suitcase. Steamer models have become popular for a long time: the devices are used by both housewives and businessmen who often travel on business trips. The device is also used by professionals: in hotels, dry cleaners, clothing stores. The most important thing is to choose a device with the power required for a specific task.

Iron

Unlike steamers, a standard household appliance for ironing fabrics has several advantages. As a rule, irons heat up much faster, and many models are able to smooth the most delicate fabric without flaws. The thermal head of the irons has the modes "nylon" or "viscose". The automatic system itself maintains the required temperature parameters at a given interval. The temperature is turned off due to a plate made of bimetal.

Scarlett also uses high-quality Teflon-coated aluminum soles for these modern models. The spray protects the surface from possible damage, because any materials simply do not stick to it. Very often the manufacturer uses cermet, which heats up well, is distinguished by sliding on any material. Some appliances are equipped with holes in the surface of the folded sole to release steam. Thanks to the modified outsole configuration, the hot steam enables easy gliding on the fabric.

Most modern appliances have a powerful steam option. When it is turned on, the volume of the gaseous substance is doubled, which is very convenient when ironing overdried things. The steam iron is an indispensable tool for ironing large quantities of natural fabrics and items that need ironing. Much more textiles can be ironed with the device, as opposed to a steamer.
