How to choose a travel iron?

When choosing a travel iron, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

Dimensions and weight. Travel devices are usually quietly placed on the open palm. In extreme cases, they go beyond its limits by 2-3 cm. Their weight is in the range of 500-800 g.
Power. For road models, it does not exceed 1.8 kW. For effective smoothing, it is desirable to have an iron with a power of at least 1 kW.
Sole. It can have a special coating (double sole) or be made of metal, but with a removable pad for delicate ironing. Budget irons have an aluminum sole or a Teflon coating. Stainless steel is often used, but it adds weight to the structure. The most high-quality soles have a ceramic, sapphire or ceramic-metal coating.
Modes and controls. Good appliances have a temperature and power control system. Usually there are 3 standard modes: delicate ironing (silk, synthetics); mixed fabrics and wool; linen and cotton fabrics.
Steam. The ability to supply steam is considered an important feature. It can be served continuously or using the steam boost method.To create steam, water containers with a volume of 30-70 ml are installed.

In travel irons, the design of the handle plays an important role. It should be durable and comfortable, but not greatly increase the size and weight of the entire device. Preference is given to a folding design, high-strength materials and rubberized inserts.

Rita He speaks

My work involves frequent and multi-day business trips. We have to live in rented apartments, where there is not always a good iron, or even not at all. Therefore, I have long been accustomed to traveling with my iron. Changed a few already. My last purchase of Polaris PIR 1007T suits me perfectly. And it's not that heavy either. Irons well, the sole is not sticky and steams well too.
