Advice on irons

Want to buy a new iron? There are several types of irons you can choose from. For example, there are steam irons, steam generators, ironing systems, and clothes steamers. In this article, you can read what the differences are between these types and which type of iron suits your needs best.

Usage situation

What type of iron you'll need depends on various factors. For example, if you often iron large quantities, a steam generator would be a good choice for you. If you're looking for something simple, a basic iron will suffice for you. If you just want to freshen up clothes or remove light wrinkles, a clothes steamer may be something for you. For a professional ironing result, you need a ironing system.

Steam generator

Steam generator

With a steam generator, you can quickly finish ironing, thanks to the high steam production and powerful steam boost. Also stubborn wrinkles and rigid fabrics are no problem. Thanks to the large water tank, you can go through large amounts of laundry too. You can use the iron separately without the water tank, which makes it lightweight.

  • Large water tank
  • High steam power
  • Loose iron is light in weight
  • For large amounts of ironing clothes
  • Special ironing board needed
  • Less easy to store
  • It's not possible to put the iron on the back

Steam iron

A steam iron is more compact in size and has a smaller water reservoir. This way, it's suitable for all ironing boards. Do you regularly iron stiff fabrics or stubborn creases? Choose a steam iron with high steam production and steam burst.

  • Compact in size
  • Can be put on the back during ironing
  • For small amounts of iron
  • Smaller water tank
  • Heavier due to the water tank

Ironing system

Ironing system

An ironing system offers a solution with a built-in steam generator and an active ironing board that makes ironing easier. Do you use an iron for work or do you want a professional ironing result at home? An ironing system is a good choice for you. Keep in mind that it takes up quite a bit of space and isn't easy to move.

  • Ironing with powerful steam
  • For large quantities of ironing clothes
  • Ironing board with suction and blowing system
  • Professional ironing result
  • Large size
  • Not easy to move
  • Takes up a lot of space

Clothes steamer

Clothes steamer

You can quickly remove wrinkles from a piece of clothing with a clothes steamer. That's also if you like to wear dress shirts without wrinkles on vacation. There are hand clothes steers and clothes stools with a clothing stand.

  • Compact size
  • Remove slight wrinkles
  • Freshen up clothes
  • Handy for hard-to-iron garments
  • Does not iron stubborn wrinkles
  • Small water tank
