How to choose a budget iron at a price/quality ratio?

If you want to buy a quality and durable device, you should pay attention to the main parameters:

The material of manufacture of the working surface

• Aluminum. Light and cheap material, quickly heats up, and also quickly cools down. In this case, the big disadvantage is considered low resistance to overheating and mechanical damage. The operating time of the aluminum soleplate is reduced to a minimum;
• Stainless steel. This is the most durable material, and only a fall or a hard blow can damage the working surface. Models with a steel surface have an average sliding speed on the product and an optimal cost . They are unpretentious in maintenance, but rather heavy. A significant disadvantage is that it takes a long time to heat up and cool down;
• Teflon. Teflon coating effectively smoothes any product, glides well and is cheap. Disadvantages include rapid thinning of the sole, chipping and light scratches that appear on impact;
• Titanium. The durable titanium coating is a practical care with high durability and perfect glide over the material. The heating time of the working surface made of titanium is longer. The disadvantage is the high price.

Shape

• Spout shape. The round wide spout does not allow you to iron hard-to-reach places on the clothes. It is necessary to pay attention to the sharp spouts of the equipment. Such models make it easier to iron collars and cuffs.
• Surface area. Considering the size of the surface, it should be remembered that small, narrow devices are more maneuverable. However, ironing takes longer, especially when processing long, large sheets and curtains.

Power. The speed of heating and the time of alignment of the clothes depends on this indicator.

Powerful equipment consumes a lot of energy:

• 1000-1500 watts. The low power of this device is suitable for ironing T-shirts, dresses and clothes made of lightweight materials. It takes a lot of effort to straighten towels and sheets. Convenient to use when traveling;
• 1500-2000W.. The appliances in this range will handle all types of fabrics, even over-dried clothes. For the family, this is the best option.

Modes. Modern standard irons work on at least 3-4 levels . These modes are indicated on the controller by a different number of dot images or common material definitions.

Steam Delivery System:

• Constant steam (20-80 g/min).
• Steam blow (150 g/min. or more).
• Vertical Steam.

Weight. A very light device will not cope well with folds on clothes made of dense fabrics, while a heavy device will tire your hands while ironing. It is necessary to focus on the average indicators.

We have considered the basic criteria, the choice depends solely on your preferences and financial capabilities.

When changing fabric modes it cools/heats quickly to the right temperature. The design is great.

	Owner's review.
	The iron itself is great, works properly. The iron comes with a cup with a spout to pour water into the iron, but the size of the reservoir is useless, but it's there - already nice. I can't say anything about the iron's performance, everything that is supposed to work is working properly. The sensor that beeps if you leave the iron on and don't touch it is a useful feature. Whether or not the auto shutoff function worked, I decided not to test it.

	The old one was a Redmond. Worked for a little over two years and just stopped warming up. Needed an iron urgently. The old one was redmond. It glides and irons better. The first time I used it the steam and spritz buttons could barely be pressed. It is true that on the box it says that the soleplate is metal-ceramic. And the power is 2000-2400wt.
