There are several classes of ironing systems that have a common feature - each of them has an ironing board, steam generator, iron or professional steamer. The systems differ from each other in terms of ironing board functions and, of course, in price. Despite the rather high prices, ironing systems are popular with housewives, as they allow you to achieve the perfect result when ironing, along with significant savings in time and effort for this process.
1. How to choose an ironing system
What to look for when buying an ironing system for your homeWhen choosing an ironing system for your home, consider the following points:
1. Ease of transportation: they should be easy to disassemble, easy to move and not take up much space when assembled;
2. Ironing board functions: blowing, vacuum, steam blowing, heating of the ironing surface;
- steam boost: as in the blowing function, an “air cushion” is also created here, but steam is added to it, which allows you to process things without the help of an iron, simply by smoothing them with your hands. This mode is designed for especially delicate items, for example, with stickers - they can only be ironed in this way.
- blowing: the air flow from below creates the effect of an "air cushion". This mode is important for processing things with decorative elements, with a pile, products with a lining.The iron does not come into direct contact with the surface of the board, it does not leave shiny stripes on the product.
- vacuum (steam removal): this mode is perfect for ironing things made of silk, nylon, products "stick" to the surface of the board, do not slip or wrinkle during processing. In addition, the vacuum removes excess steam.
- heating of the ironing surface: it is this function that ensures a good quality of ironing and allows you to iron the laundry from both sides at once.
All functions of the ironing board prevent it from getting wet.
3. Opportunity refilling water without disconnecting the system from the power supply, but this feature is not available on all models.
