Against the backdrop of the dominance of Philips irons with their usual Asian assembly, French Tefal, Braun, produced in Eastern Europe, the term “German quality” somehow began to be forgotten and seem somewhat ephemeral. But not all is lost. There is also Rowenta in the German villages.

Specifically, a high-quality DW 9240 iron with a built-in compact steam generator. Power indicators are impressive: for electricity — 3100 W, steam in constant mode — 65, concentrated shock «portion» — 230 g per minute. Also in the asset is a vertical mode, spray. There are 5 electronic temperature settings available.

The stainless steel outsole may seem simple to the uninitiated, but this is a misconception. Its type MICROSTEAM 400 PROFILE (Laser) is characterized by high resistance to damage, excellent glide and durability. The «Drop-stop» system has been implemented.

The iron with a maximum power of 2.8 kW is equipped with a rich arsenal of necessary and useful functions: adjustable steam intensity, steam boost, vertical steam, anti-drop, anti-calc, descaling mode. The Smart iCare function is nothing more than a constant heating of the sole to a temperature that is safe for all tissues. In combination with the steam supply, this gives a good smoothing of any fabrics without fear of overheating: ironing has become easier. The device has a fairly large water tank — 0.33 liters. The appliance does not have a temperature / ironing power regulator. The iron does not need to be reconfigured when changing the material, it irons any fabrics without burns and deformation.

Iron weight — 1.5 kg. Cord 2 meters on a swivel mount (360 °). Warranty — 2 years.

The device “gives out” constant steam with an intensity of up to 180 g / min, a steam boost is also designed for professional use — 630 g / min.

This 2.4kW iron model can be described in two ways: super steam iron or compact desktop steam generator. For the most complex tasks, difficult-to-process ironable fabrics, it will do. Now the volumetric (1.5 l) water container remains on the stand, only the steam supply hose goes to the iron: this makes the iron itself lighter and allows you to “charge” the container less often. There is an OptimalTEMP function with which there is no need to set the temperature of the working surface and sort the laundry. Warranty — 5 years.

Powerful steam generator with iron, with a steam output of up to 150 g/min and a steam boost of 500 g/min.

Braun’s unique Eloxal outsole allows you to glide quickly and easily in any direction, and the work surface is almost twice as strong and therefore more scratch resistant than stainless steel.

Completes our ranking of the best irons Scarlett SC-SI30T03. The difference between the road model with a power of only 800 W and classmates is the ability to switch the power supply (110 (for example, Korea, USA) / 220 W), so this is just a godsend for those who like to fly to the Bahamas with their iron. And otherwise, this is quite a serious ironing machine: the heating temperature of the sole is adjustable, there is a function of adjustable steaming and spraying water. Iron dimensions: 12x13x27.5 cm.
