The iron is an essential tool that can not miss in your home.
The basic elements of irons with the boiler are:
the water tank
the vaporization chamber
the aluminum plate, teflon or stainless steel with holes for the passage of the vapor of different sizes depending on their position
the handle
The irons with boiler can be with:
internal tank
external tank, commonly called a separate boiler. The latter type of boiler irons have a higher capacity of the tank, and then water. Therefore allow iron longer. The autonomy of ironing is about two hours, but the systems allow a continuous charge of iron continuously, without the need to cool the iron. Furthermore, these irons offer a higher temperature and constant, thus allowing iron more quickly and with less effort
When you buy a professional iron you have to consider:
the tank capacity: the bigger and less time will be wasted for the supply of water
the power supply of the steam jet
the number and arrangement of the holes
the material of the plate
the maneuverability of the grip
the weight of the iron which must be neither too heavy nor too light. The iron must ensure good results without being too heavy: the ideal weight is between 1 and 2 pounds
