Obviously, such devices cannot cope with large volumes of things, but you will be able to put your clothes in order after the road. However, in this category there are models with different prices, which depends on the type of sole, power (usually up to 1500 watts), build quality and additional options.

In the list of road irons, the model of the VITEK brand is traditionally featured. This time, the VT-8305. The power of this invention is 1000 watts, which is enough to put things in order. In any case, you will not face the dirt before a business meeting or going out after a long train ride. The sole of this model is made of ceramic, therefore the device glides well and does not lose its qualities over time. The volume of the water tank is 70 milliliters. The downside is that there are no additional options: no automatic shutdown, no anti-drip system, no descaling.

This model has not too high power - only 800 watts. At the same time, the sole is made of stainless steel, which is definitely frustrating. Nevertheless, users who managed to take advantage of the advantageous offer will confirm that this is a good travel iron from the budget segment due to its practicality, ergonomics and build quality. At the same time, an experienced manufacturer of steam equipment (Scarlett company) has implemented the best technology. The SC-SI30T03 model has an operation indicator, rubberized legs, a capacious water tank, an adjustment of the degree of steaming, a drop-stop button. This is a convenient device with excellent assembly, embodying German quality.

Immediately on the minuses: a constant supply of steam is 10 grams per minute, and there is no automatic shutdown with anti-scale protection. As for the pros, the Rowenta DA1511 has plenty of them. Firstly, the power of this good travel iron is 1000 watts. The stainless steel sole has a long service life, and glides well on different types of fabrics, despite the fact that it is inferior to ceramic counterparts. The power of steam boost is 45 grams per minute, which is enough for vertical ironing.As for ergonomics and build quality - there are no complaints. The volume of the tank is 70 milliliters, and the length of the network cable is about 2 meters.

The best road iron of 2020 - the Polaris PIR 1007T model, which provides for vertical steaming. Judging by the reviews, even with difficult tasks this device copes simply and fairly quickly. High-quality outsole ensures easy glide even when working with dense fabrics. At the same time, despite the compact size, the device has a capacious tank of 200 milliliters. The network cable is 1.7 meters long. The device is assembled perfectly, which corresponds to the reputation of the manufacturer. A folding handle deserves special attention. Due to ergonomics and thoughtful design, the dimensions of the iron are 9 by 20 by 9 centimeters.

Having decided on the varieties of modern models, as well as the price range, it is worth paying attention to the parameters. You should not be guided by each "hot offer" if you do not know how to choose an iron for home or travel. The fact is that many manufacturers are trying to reduce the cost of their goods due to the quality of materials, power and other important parameters, while emphasizing the potential buyer on unimportant functions. Consider the current standards so as not to fall for the trick of marketers:

• type of sole - not only ease of use, but also efficiency, price, heating rate and a number of other parameters depend on the quality of the working surface of the iron. In fairness, it is worth noting that each of the materials has pros and cons. Aluminum models quickly heat up / cool down, but do not last long. The metal is quickly deformed. Stainless steel models are more durable, but massive and heavy, they cool down longer. More expensive ceramic models glide perfectly on different materials, do not stick to things. The most functional devices work on the basis of two soles with a special nozzle for working with delicate fabrics. There are even more expensive titanium units, but it’s difficult to answer unequivocally how appropriate such investments are. Here it is important to proceed from financial opportunities and interests. I would like to add that when choosing an iron, it is worth paying attention not only to the type, but also to the quality of performance of this structural element. The fact is that models with a thin sole edge are more convenient to use when ironing things with buttons. Moreover, the larger the area, the easier it is to work with large volumes of things. One more tip: a sharp nose is better for ironing collars, etc.
• power - on the market you can find a model from 1500 W to 2800 W and more. Low-power models are suitable for trips, they take longer to smooth out, but they are attractive due to their compact size. Optimum from 1,500 to 2,200 watts - classic irons for the home fall into this category. More powerful up to 2700-2800 watts are designed for use in large families and for professionals. As a rule, such units are equipped with an additional steam station;
• modes - Most modern models are equipped with a water spray function. It should be borne in mind that the quality of the atomizers in different models is different. Another useful feature is the constant supply of steam. It is worth noting that the rate of smoothing of dense tissues depends on the amount of water converted into steam. This characteristic is closely related to power. Budget models, as a rule, give out up to 20-30 g / min. For domestic needs, this is enough. But for a large family, regular use is preferably from 40 to 60 g / min.However, ease of use also depends on the location of the holes in the sole. Simple models have holes on the sides, more advanced ones supply steam from the nose - this is more convenient for smoothing pockets, collars. Another useful mode is steam boost to smooth out heavy creases. As for the function of vertical steaming - here is at your discretion. In our opinion, even the presence of this function will not allow replacing the steamer.
• equipment - automatic shutdown, anti-drip system, steam intensity regulator, self-cleaning, cable rotation at 360 ° C - only a small list of additional "buns" that can be equipped with an iron. Here it is worth comparing the technologies of different brands so as not to miscalculate.

Finally, I would like to give some more practical advice on choosing such a technique for the home. Based on personal experience and customer reviews, you should pay attention to weight, the quality of the handle and the water tank. It would seem trifles, but ease of use depends on these factors. If you do not know which iron to buy for your home, we recommend that you focus on units weighing up to 1.5 kilograms. Otherwise, your hands will get tired. It is desirable that the model has a rubberized, comfortable handle. As for the water tank, in our opinion, optimally from 250 to 300 ml. If the choice fell on a model with a cord, then the length of the wire should be from 1.5 to 2 meters. It is desirable with the support of a rotating hinge 360 ​​degrees. To summarize:
