Ironing… love it or hate it, it’s something that defines how we present ourselves to society. Regardless of whether you’re an avid ‘ironer’ or someone who simply hates ironing, the need to have perfectly pressed clothes with sharp clean lines, especially in formal or work situations means that ironing in itself is a necessity for most.

Using the right tools is always a great way to make light work of any chore and it is no less true of ironing. Steam generator irons with their large water tanks and significant steam pressure make it easy to ensure that creases are removed from clothes quickly and easily.

How to Choose Your Ideal Steam Generator Iron

In choosing your ideal steam generator iron, the main points to consider are

a) steam pressure – this typically ranges from 3.5 bars to a whopping 5 bars of steam pressure. The higher the steam pressure the more quickly fabrics are pressed.

b) size of water tank – this refers to how much water is held in the steam generator tank of the iron. How essential a large water tank is, is in part influenced by the frequency of ironing. If you, like me, iron once every week or so, the pile up of clothes to iron might require a larger tank.

c) time to heat – this refers to the amount of time it takes for the iron to heat up to the optimum temperature which of course, is directly related to the power of steam generator unit.
