Comparison test - 12 steam ironing stations

Whether it's a shirt or trousers, textiles unfortunately don't get a really smooth texture, i.e. uniform and even in all parts, just by washing them: the many times of back and forth in the drum of a washing machine ultimately cause even more wrinkles in the textile. If you want these wrinkles to disappear again after washing and drying, you have to level them by hand - using an iron that you have to push over the textile a few times to make it appear flawless again through the interaction of pressure, heat and water. This work is not really exciting - even if you can stream a film or series while doing it. But why do we bother with it over and over again? For more than 60% of us, the aesthetics of the textile is the essential motive: we want to make sure that we look attractive in our textiles - especially when we are out of the house. 20% of us, on the other hand, set to work for a completely different motive: here it is the various microbes present in the textile (bacteria, fungi, viruses & co.) that we want to eliminate through the high temperatures of the iron. But no matter where the motivation is rooted - all consumers want one thing: to complete the work in a way that is as quick as it is simple - and that for all materials, regardless of whether we are talking about linen, silk or wool. But how can this be achieved? With a modern steam ironing station that mobilises a lot of pressure! This time, we tested 12 current steam ironing stations and will now describe how the models can be used, how effectively they can be used to level textiles made of different materials, and how they compare in terms of sound output and power consumption.
