Buying Guide - Irons

Written by EditPlace

Introduction

There are many irons on the market and they suit every need. But with so many to choose from and with irons varying quite widely in price it can be tough to know what kind of iron suits you and what represents value for money. For example, if you live on your own and have little ironing to do buying an iron with fancy features and steam power isn't really necessary. So, depending on your ironing routine this guide will help you choose the iron that's right for you.

Types of iron

The most common type of iron is the steam iron. Steam is used to iron out creases by opening up the fabric's weave. A general rule of thumb to remember is that the more steam you use, the quicker and easier your ironing is. A standard steam iron is a good choice for you if you have small loads of ironing to do.

The effectiveness of your iron's steam depends on how well that iron generates its heat and how good it is at managing it. Things for you to look out for when looking at an iron and its ability to generate and manage heat are its engineering, design and wattage. The higher the wattage means there is more heat at your disposal.

Most steam irons come with slight variations of steam features. For example an iron with vertical steam is useful for ironing hanging garments like dresses or suits or even hanging curtains but be sure to hold the iron away from the item so as not to burn it.

Variable steam irons will monitor the level of steam output for you to automatically ensure it is at the ideal level depending on the fabric you are using.

An iron with the steam burst feature will provide you with a burst of power at the push of a button and can be useful to iron out difficult creases. Look out for the grams per minute detail on the iron to see how powerful the feature is.

The last steam feature is found on irons with continuous steam output. These are the easiest to iron with and suit those with large families and lots of ironing. They provide a constant stream of steam to make ironing as quick as possible.

You can also choose from steam generator irons if you have larger loads, a steam generator produces twice the amount of steam as a standard steam iron and will cut your ironing time in half. You can choose from a non pressurised steam generator or a pressurised one. A pressurised steam generator is the biggest, most powerful type of iron and will produce twice as much steam as a normal iron. It will help with deeper creases and is perfect for those who have large loads but want freshly ironed garments in half the time.

Factors to consider

If you are part of a large family there are other elements to think about apart from the steam output of your iron. For example you will need an iron with adequate water storage and if you have children maybe you want an iron with cord storage for health and safety?

Another thing to consider is the glide of the iron. The item's sole plate should reduce friction between the iron and what you're ironing and produce a smooth gliding motion to make the task easier. Polished stainless steel plates are ideal for this, as are non-stick coated plates. Starch residue is easier to clean from the non-stick plates while dimple patterns further reduce friction. A brand name to look for when it comes to the glide of an iron is Ultragliss, which are renowned for their gliding ability. Their plates are scratch resistant and allow for more natural movements when ironing.

As mentioned earlier, you will need to consider the wattage of an iron when considering it as an option to buy. A standard steam iron should have around 1400W of power while a steam generator will carry around 2200W. Wattage of around 1600W is enough for most domestic ironing.

The weight of your iron is another factor to consider. Again it comes down to your ironing requirements and the amount you need to do. A heavier iron will carry a greater pressing capacity but can be strenuous to use whereas a lighter iron will reduce muscle strain but may require more strokes to iron out creases.

Water capacity should be a consideration when buying your iron. Tanks range from 55ml for a travel iron to 400ml for a larger model. The larger tank your iron has the less time you will spend refilling it and waiting for it to produce your steam. Again consider your ironing needs when looking at this feature.

Finally, in a world of choices, you can choose between the different types of cord for your iron. There are long cords for flexibility, cords attached to the centre of the iron for ease of use for both left and right handers and pivoting cords which reduce tangling.

Additional information

The majority of irons are run by tap water and if you are someone who has less ironing to do there is no problem in using tap water to fill your tank. However, if you iron on a regular basis and often have heavy loads to get through it can damage the iron's lifespan to use tap water, especially hard water. The answer to this problem is to look for an iron that is a clog-resistant model. This means that your iron will battle against mineral build up from tap water by using water filters, self cleaning methods or special valves to protect the longevity of your iron. Ideally the water should be pre treated before you put it into the steam chamber, but as that is not always possible an anti-clog iron is a good option to go for.

Some irons have what is called an anti-drip feature, which is not essential to the performance of your iron but is more of an extra feature. Anti-drip will prevent water dropping onto your ironing and which helps to prevent staining. It also stops water from leaking after you have finished using the iron and helps with the maintenance of your item.

Some irons will over you an automatic shut-off feature which will turn the iron off if left standing and unused for a certain period. This is a good feature for health and safety reasons if you have children and also helps to preserve energy and increases the iron's lifespan.

There are other features to look out for when choosing an iron that will provide nice little touches to your ironing. They include aluminium sole plates to spread heat quickly around the base of the iron and a misting spray to help with deep wrinkles and creases. Narrow tips make it easier to iron those hard to reach places like cuffs and collars while a second row of steam holes will make it easier to distribute steam.
