Steam supply power

The steam supply power provided by an iron is essentially the amount of steam supplied by the device per minute. In most modern irons, the intensity of steaming can be adjusted, so this item usually indicates the maximum power value.

The more steam the iron supplies, the more intense the effect on the fabric, the more dense and rigid materials can be effectively smoothed out without resorting to a steam boost (see below). On the other hand, high performance significantly affects the price, dimensions and weight of the iron. Accordingly, it is worth choosing according to this indicator taking into account the planned method of application — especially since the full power of steam is far from always required, and in special cases the same steam boost can be used.

In travel and simple household irons, the productivity is about 15 – 30 g/min. More than 30 g/min corresponds to enhanced steaming, and the most advanced devices, mainly for professional use, are capable of producing 60 g/min or more (the so-called “turbo mode”).

Water tank volume

The volume of the water tank installed in the iron.

The water from this container is used to generate steam when steaming fabrics. In modern models of irons, the tanks are made of transparent materials and are provided with a lid at the opening through which water is poured. As for capacity, a large volume, on the one hand, allows you to work longer without refilling, on the other hand, it significantly makes the entire device heavier. Therefore, in classic models, where the tank is located on the iron itself, the capacity is usually small — about 80 ml for travel and 300 ml for household models. But there are also irons with a large water tank, in which the volume can reach 500 ml. But for advanced steam generators and ironing systems (see "Type"), the tank is made separately, and in such cases its volume can be 1 L, and for models with a large tank, figures of more than 1.5 L are typical.

Heating time

The time it takes the iron to go into working condition. In the case of classic household appliances, this is the time for heating the sole to the required temperature, which depends on the selected mode. For models with a steam generator, this is the time required to heat the water in the boiler.

Cable length

The length of the cable for connecting to the mains provided in the iron.

Manufacturers select the length of the cable, taking into account the general specialization of the iron and the characteristics of its application — so that the wire is enough for most cases and at the same time it is not too long and bulky. Therefore, in most cases, this parameter can be ignored; exceptions are only some specific situations. For example, if you choose a travel iron and compactness is a key criterion, you should choose a shorter wire. A long cable, in turn, will come in handy at a great distance from sockets and the absence of extension cords.

For clarity, we note that for household irons, the average cable length is 1.5 m.

Iron weight

The total weight of the iron. Usually, this parameter is indicated "dry", without water; and for steam generators and ironing systems (see "Type"), the weight of the iron is given, without additional equipment.

Initially, it was believed that the heavier the iron, the more efficiently it performs its task. However, modern models use various technical tricks to achieve good ironing quality with low weight. At the same time, a lighter iron is more “manoeuvrable” and easier to use, you can work with it for a long time without getting tired. Therefore, it makes sense to specifically look for a massive model only in cases where you plan to often work with difficult-to-iron, “unruly” fabrics — for example, natural linen: more weight will give additional processing efficiency.
