working surface

first and most important design element - the sole technology.There are a lot of things to say, but the main criteria for its selection is the material, shape and number of holes for the steam release.Here's how to choose the iron on the bottom and which is better for domestic use.

Material production

Are working surfaces made of aluminum, stainless steel, ceramic, Teflon coating and titanium.Home often choose one of the first three options.To your attention an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each material:

  1. Aluminium.The cheapest version of the sole, which has high thermal conductivity.The aluminum surface is heated rapidly, and at the same time cools rapidly.Another plus - a small full weight of the product, that depending on the application can make it a winning goal.As for the drawbacks, mainly considered the vulnerability to scratches - in continuous operation aluminum becomes less smooth, which impairs the sliding, and thus the process of ironing.Aluminum
  2. Stainless steel.The complete opposite of the properties of aluminum in stainless steel.It is an order of magnitude more difficult, which is not always convenient.Besides longer heats and cools, it refers more to the lack of material.The advantage and the surface of stainless steel - it is not afraid of scratches and other damage, which has a positive effect on service life.If you want to choose an iron for the house with stainless steel soleplate, give preference to an improved version - stainless steel with chrome finish.This type of working surface easier to clean and better slip when ironing.stainless steel
  3. Pottery.Ceramic is the easiest sole slip, which is its main advantage.Purification of the material is nothing complicated - you need only wipe it with a wet cloth with liquid soap.Another plus coating - resistance to scratch, so the iron will glide good even after several years of operation.As for the drawbacks, the most basic are considered high cost of ceramics, as well as its fragility.In the discussion forums you can see a lot of reviews that a ceramic coating, especially in the area of ​​the nose, chipped at the slightest damage, so the problem reduces the strength of demand for the selection of this option.Ceramics
  4. Teflon.Modern manufacturing soles material - Teflon coating.Its advantage is that the low temperature heating slip the garment is good enough, it is impossible to say about aluminum or stainless steel.At the same time, Teflon, ceramics and the like, has a low strength, so the bumps of metal buttons may form chips and cracks.Teflon
  5. Titan.Another one of modern materials - titanium coating, which is applied to the steel sole.The advantages of this combination - high strength and good glide during ironing.At the same time, disadvantages is the high cost and long time heating of the working surface (and correspondingly cooling).Titanium pad

When choosing domestic iron on the soles recommend buying ceramic or stainless steel.Give preference to the option, which is more suitable for the application.If you need to iron too thick and rumpled cloth, be sure to choose a heavier machine with stainless steel, for normal conditions it is more expedient to use the ceramic surface.

Form

As for the shape of the working surface, there are not so many nuances that you need to know when choosing a technology.The first and most important thing - the shape of the spout.The sharper it is, the easier it will be to iron things with buttons, collars and other awkward areas, especially children's clothes.A variety of forms

second, equally important point - the surface area.The more choose the sole, the ironing will be faster, but at the same time to uncomfortable places to creep will be more difficult.Small irons easier to use, but in order to stroke the same shirt need more time.

holes

Well, the last criterion by which to choose the soleplate - the quantity and quality of holes for steam to escape.Here it is impossible to say with some accuracy, how much should be the normal number of holes and how they should be size.Each manufacturer in its own increases the efficiency of the use of technology.Some make some small holes 100, some 50 but larger size.Important to choose such embodiment, in which holes are arranged over the entire working surface.Different number of holes

Power

very important point when buying is that you need to choose the iron power correctly.If you buy enough powerful technique, ironing process will be difficult, and some folds so do not get completely leveled.At the same time heavy duty machine may not be necessary if you iron a small number of things.Today, modern businesses leading on the world market, producing models ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 kilowatts for residential use.The greater the power, the correspondingly greater power consumption and weight.It is believed that house the most appropriate option is to choose a model no more than 2 kW, but not less than 1.7.

By the way, the more the power of technology, the faster heats the working surface and, hence, the faster you can begin the process of ironing items!

Design

Oddly enough, but when you buy the iron necessary to pay due attention to its design.Current models can have a rubberized handle with finger rest, conveniently located controls, stylish appearance, etc.All these little things is actually very important, becausedirectly affect the cost of purchase, you decide to choose.For example, why pay the extra money just for the fact that the body is slightly rounded, if there is a similar, but more rigorous model?

Modern design

A very common problem is the design facing customers - handle shaped palm.In fact, this model is more suitable right-handed, for the person who writes with his left hand such an option would be awkward at all, as evidenced by the many negative reviews on the forums!

Useful things

There are models with a steam generator, which makes the process of ironing easier, faster and better.For this embodiment is you pay more money, but at the same time, if you have weekly high volumes of things that need to be ironed, and select the best fit of generosity el.utyug with a steam generator.Photo Tefal steam generator
  2. Instead of the steam generator in the housing unit can be installed a water tank - steamer.A cheaper option for spraying steam on the surface of things.For home use, this is the preferred option becauseIt is an order of magnitude smaller, and therefore, we recommend that you choose.There are also products with a vertical stripping, which allows to iron curtains thanks to a useful function - steam boost.In addition, steam effectively smoothes jammed lots of things, which can not cope with the spout of the sole.With regard to the water volume of the tank, it must be at least 250 ml to ironing process is not interrupted at frequent refilling of the liquid.Steaming things
  3. very important function for the safe use of technology - automatic shutdown.In that case, if you put the included iron on the ironing board and forgot heating immediately stop after a few seconds of inactivity.Also, some firms create original sole technology with Autolifts - leaving feet (shown in photo), which prevent contact of the heater with a cloth when it is idle for a few seconds.Autolifts
  4. When choosing a modern iron of good quality, pay attention to the temperature controller.The greater the range of temperature change, the easier it will be ironing wool, synthetics and other delicate fabrics.thermoregulator
  5. new technology models include protivoizvestkovye rods (see. Photo below), which are inserted into the body.Their mission - to fight with scum on the PETN.This scale is a major cause of failure of the device, so it is best to choose and buy a version of the product, in which the rods are set protivoizvestkovye.An alternative way to combat hard water - Use built-in filters that more effectively cope with the problem.If you have not found the right model with the addition, immediately we encourage you to read tips on repairing the iron with his hands, which are provided methods of cleaning the heater from scale.Protivoizvestkovy rod
  6. to the electrical cord to connect to a power outlet and imposed special requirements.You should choose irons that cord with fabric cover, which does not wear out as quickly.In addition, pay attention to the length of the cord, it should be not less than 2 meters, which is enough for comfortable ironing.Otherwise it is necessary to carry out connection through an extension cable that will get in the way and the only way.With frequent use of the cord is bent and may break, which is also a popular cause of failure of equipment.To solve this problem, we recommend making the selection of the cord, which is the point of entry into the body can be scrolled to 360 °.This variant design is not much more expensive, but it is several times more convenient!By the way, there are modern models of cordless irons in which the sole is heated on a special stand.The disadvantage of this option is that the working surface will cool down quickly, and you'll pay a small convenience frequent heated, which separates from the ironing.A braided cord tissue
  7. Well, the last of the useful features that should be present in the new iron - drip system.If you iron things at a low temperature, the vapor can not be formed quickly, resulting in release of steam is expelled water is pressed out of the holes, leaving spots on things.To avoid this, manufacturers have invented a special stop system, which prevents the release of water from the holes.drip
