Check out this list of things to look out for when buying a new steam iron or steam generator iron. If you just got one, this is where you can confirm that you made the right choice. What every situation you‘re in: The name Braun on the iron is always a very good sign.
Deslizamento
Evite ficar preso em botões, fechos ou bolsos, graças à primeira base FreeGlide 3D do mundo. A sua base curvada para cima permite um deslizar fácil e sem esforço.
Configurações
Diferentes tecidos, diferentes necessidades. O ferro deve ter diferentes configurações possíveis, de forma a ser seguro para tecidos delicados e suficiente para tecidos mais difíceis.
Segurança Auto-off
Por razões de segurança, o ferro deve desligar-se automaticamente ao fim de alguns segundo sem utilização.
De-calcification
You will need to decalcify your steam iron from time to time. Make sure it has an effective mechanism to do that.
Water tank capacity & refill
A bigger tank is convenient because it makes you have to refill it less often. Make sure your iron is designed to make refilling the water tank easy. You will save yourself effort and mishaps.
Cable
A longer cable whith a flexible attachment to the iron gives you freedom of movement. Especially for steam stations that are supposed to be stored away, a cord storage bracket can be very useful.
Wattage
It helps to keep the temperature more constant while ironing.
Textile protection
For ironing of especially delicate fabrics you might want the steam iron to be able to attach textile protectors for less heat while using full steam.
