Electric Irons Features and Specifications

Electric Irons have been patented in 1882. In many cases they did not change that much. Today we have a selection of electric irons, which automatically come with steam, water spray, timer and non stick, highly durable iron face.

What are the proper specifications and features of electric iron?

• Electric iron should have Spray Mist/Water Spray
• Electric iron should have Adjustable Steam (for majority of fabric types)
• Electric iron should have Non-Stick Coating (difficult to diagnose in the shop - thus check at home before warranty expires)
• Electric iron should have retractable Cord Reel
• Power rating of minimum 1200W (though 2400W is by far a better but a more expensive choice)

Good electric iron should have 3 Way Auto Shut-Off with timer. This prevents fires when hot iron is left unattended. Electric irons are often referred as steam irons. Popular brands include: T-fal, Bosh, Black & Decker, Clover, Rowenta, Westinghouse, Panasonic and Sunbeam. Price for electric iron should not exceed $80 for good brands. On average this home appliance should be within $40.
