Model Features

The key difference of this iron is its very light weight. The area of ​​the sole is reduced, the center of gravity is in the middle. This is complemented by a power cable connected through a hinge to the iron itself. That is, they work as comfortably as possible. But it is suitable mainly for those cases when you have to iron a little.

The sole is made of ceramics with additional grooves for the removal of drops of water (after using spray). It practically does not form scale with frequent use of a steam boost. It can also be used for vertical steaming, but the water in the tank runs out very quickly.

I bought a REDMOND RI-C263 for a summer residence, since I don’t really want to carry the main Braun back and forth all the time. And I did not expect such a “baby” to be so comfortable! It irons well, nothing has ever stuck, steaming works perfectly, the cable length, as for me, is ideal.
