The strict lines and colors of the iron bodies are designed not to be distracted by the conciseness of the design, but to focus on the functionality of the devices. If in appearance the manufacturer does not deviate far from almost a century-old tradition, then the technical content of the models is aimed at matching current trends. The ease of use of the technique depends on the type of sole and handle chosen, the power of the steam supply.
The TexStyle 7 series is widely represented in retail outlets, it is hard not to notice it by the logo printed on the body of the goods. The models included in it attract the attention of buyers with the speed of heating the sole, the option of adjusting the steam supply, a volumetric water tank, for which there is a measuring cup in the kit.

- technologically imperfect anti-drop system;
- insufficient protection against scale;
- noise during operation;
- structural instability.
