Iron Braun TexStyle 9 SI 9187

Powerful electric iron without manual temperature control of the working surface. Less worrying about manual mode selection, Braun iCare technology automatically selects the optimal ironing temperature. Also, this model is equipped with a performant steam humidification system and a special protective coating of the working surface. It is one of the most affordable flagship TexStyle 9 family of 2018.

It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, aimed at users who prefer high-tech branded household appliances with a reasonable cost. It features an increased power of 2800 W, which allows it to quickly warm up and reach the operating mode in less than 2 minutes. The Braun TexStyle 9 SI 9187 iron can dry iron, work with continuous steam (from 0 to 50 g/min) or generate powerful bursts of steam to quickly remove difficult creases on thick and rough fabrics.

The outsole of this model has a special curve at the back, which facilitates reverse movement and prevents the formation of accidental wrinkles. The FreeGlide 3D EloxalPlus protective coating is a high-strength oxide layer created on an aluminium surface by electrochemical anodizing. It glides easily over any woven fabric, has excellent hardness, wear resistance and does not scratch when lightly contacted with metal fittings.

Smart iCare Technology

The TexStyle 9 range is one of Braun's best irons, featuring high power and iCare technology. It consists in the absence of a temperature controller, since you do not have to configure anything yourself. Here the optimal temperature is set for any type of fabric, even the most delicate. And no matter how much you puzzle over the implementation, it really works: the iron handles equally well with both thin and thick fabric, without damaging it and leaving no marks. And the power of 2800 W provides fast heating and instant readiness for work.

Comfortable sole

The device also received a 3D Eloxal Plus sole, which, thanks to the rounded edges on the front and back, resembles a snowboard. And this is its convenience: the sole gently glides both forward and in the opposite direction, smoothing out creases, collars and areas near the buttons. In addition, the outsole coating is scratch-resistant and, according to the manufacturer, is four times harder than stainless steel.

Steam iron

Unlike the temperature, the iron allows you to adjust the intensity of the steam output. With a constant supply of steam, the power reaches 50 g / min, including on the spout for smoothing hard-to-reach places. The "normal" mode is available from 1 to 6 steam levels, the "turbo" mode is designed to deliver maximum steam and remove stubborn creases, and the spray function produces a fine mist that evenly moistens the fabric and makes it easier to remove creases on very dense types of fabric . In addition, you can steam clothes in a vertical position, including using a steam boost with a power of 230 g / min.

The water tank is large enough — 330 mL, when dry ironing, water does not leak thanks to the "Anti-drop" function. Only the lid of the tank causes complaints, which is poorly fixed and every now and then strives to open and spill water during operation.

Safety first

The model is automated not only in matters of temperature settings, but also security. The manufacturer has added an automatic shutdown of the device — especially for those forgetful users who leave the equipment turned on at home. The function is activated if the iron is in a horizontal position on the soleplate for approximately 1 minute or in a vertical position on the rear stand for 8 minutes. And the descaling system and anti-lime rod will take care of the safety and longevity of the device itself.
