The best steam generators of 2020

As you know, we did not take into account too cheap models with a pressure of up to 2 Bar and a bad metal sole. On the contrary, it was interesting to “get” to the budget of up to 15,000 rubles, so that the device would have a durable platform, a good level of protection and performance. In our opinion, we managed to cope with the task. In the list you can find powerful devices whose performance can be compared with professional solutions - pressure up to 7 Bar, and steam boost power up to 400 grams per minute. Of course, this rule does not apply to all the solutions described below, so compare and choose the best option for yourself.

Tefal SV6040 model with Fast heat-up system opens the top 10 steam generators for clothes. Power in 2200 watts is enough for smoothing different types of fabrics. At the same time, the device is ready for operation 2 minutes after connecting the plug to the outlet. Soft and confident gliding is achieved due to the presence of high-quality ceramic soles. The power of steam boost reaches 180 grams per minute, which is a good indicator for the budget segment. The intensity of the steam supply in the basic mode is around 100 grams per minute. It is worth adding that the device supports the IVF function, which is responsible for the automatic adjustment of the generated steam. You can save up to 20% of energy against the background of analogues.

In search of a compact steam generator, many managed to choose a good model with a loyal price tag - Braun CareStyle Compact IS 2043. The device features iCare technology with automatic ironing selection and good performance for this category. The capacity of the water container is 1.3 liters. The continuous steam output is 110 grams per minute, and up to 300 grams per minute in steam boost mode. This is enough to complete any tasks. However, the power of this unit is 2200 watts. Special attention is paid to the Eloxal Plus FreeGlide 3D ceramic sole, which guarantees ease of use. It is easy to clean. Proprietary technology is responsible for automatically adjusting the temperature depending on the type of fabric.

If you have not yet decided which steam generator to buy for working with large volumes of clothing, we recommend paying attention to the Tefal Pro Express GV7850 model with pressure support up to 6.9 Bar. Steam consumption is 120 g / min by default and 450 grams per minute (steam boost). It is worth saying that this device does an excellent job of smoothing curtains, jackets and other things in vertical mode. At the same time, the manufacturer paid due attention to the quality of protection against scale, against leakage. The sole consists of a high-quality self-cleaning ceramic coating.Durilium Airglide AutoClean technology ensures easy glide. The glass-ceramic layer is not scratched, it is in excellent contact with things equipped with metal fittings. If the model is stationary for 3-4 minutes, automatic shutdown is triggered.

The advantages of this model include Smart Heat technology, which guarantees an even distribution of heat on the sole, as well as protection of tissue damage. At the same time, the power consumption of this inexpensive but powerful steam generator is 3000 watts. The working surface of the device is made of PRO 5 Ceramic. The pressure is 5 bar, and the feed rate in normal mode is 120 grams per minute. The power of steam boost is 400 g / min. The volume of the water tank is 1,500 milliliters. The advantages of the technique include support for vertical steam, automatic shutdown, ECO mode, self-cleaning from scale and a well-implemented anti-drip system.

The best steam generator for clothing in 2020 is the Braun CareStyle 7 IS 7043 model, whose power is 2400 watts. Such an indicator is quite enough to work with large volumes of things. Performance comparable to professional solutions. At the same time, the quality of work surface is worthy of respect. Eloxal 3D technology quickly heats up and has a good move. The penetration rate of the tissue in the pair when you turn on the steam boost is 400 grams per minute. In the basic mode, the indicator is also high - 125 g / min. The capacity of the water tank is 2000 milliliters.

Professional models have their own requirements. It is important that such a technique supports vertical steaming, has a sliding and durable platform with high steam boost, up to 600 grams per minute. At the same time, we paid due attention to the quality of the design and protective systems, including automatic shutdown, anti-scale and others. Not the least place in choosing such a technique is even the little things: from the tank capacity to the cable length. We tried to take all this into account, collecting a list of flagship solutions.

The model of Silence Steam DG 8985 from Rowenta with a capacity of 2400 W is added to the rating of steam generators in 2020. The coating is made of stainless steel. But do not worry prematurely. The manufacturer squeezed the most out of Microsteam 400 Laser 3De technology. The base glides perfectly, and is not afraid of minor mechanical damage. The steam supply power is 120 g / min with a maximum steam boost of 500 g / min. The pressure is 7.5 bar, and the capacity of the water tank is about 1400 milliliters. The advantages of the device include a long 2-meter cable, vertical steam, automatic shutdown and a separate collector for collecting scale. The design weighs 5.8 kilograms.

The list of flagship models is complemented by a powerful steam generator for home with OptimalTEMP technology - Philips PerfectCare Elite Plus GC 9682. This device automatically selects the required ironing temperature for the effective implementation of the tasks. Another highlight is the Silent Steam, which guarantees powerful steam at low noise levels. The power of the device is 2700 W, and the pressure is 8 Bar. The intensity of the steam boost in this case reaches 600 g / min. Considering productivity, one movement is enough to quickly even even dense fabric. Another advantage is the OptimalTEMP technology, which allows you to work even with woolen clothes without fear.

Another good ironing system equipped with a powerful 2400W steam generator. This is enough for continuous feed up to 125 g / min. This is enough to smooth large folds, even on thick clothes. Including, on curtains and curtains. If there is a very difficult task, a steam boost is used, with a capacity of up to 500 grams per minute. It is worth noting the quality of the implementation of the quick descaling system called Ultimate FastClean, which guarantees a long service life of the equipment. The collector captures particles of dirt, keeps scale in a special compartment. In the absence of water, the model turns off automatically. By the way, the tank capacity is 2 liters, which is enough for a long time.

A good price / quality ratio pleases another convenient steam generator for the home - the Tefal Pro Express X-Pert Plus GV 8982 model. This device has excellent indications, including for descaling and lack of water. The power of the device is 2400 W at a pressure of 7.5 bar. The capacity of the water container is 1.6 liters. But with a regular intensity of steam strokes of 450 grams per minute, the capacity does not seem much. The advantages of this ironing system include support for Smart Technology, with optimal settings for 5 different temperature modes and steam power modes.

The best steam generator of 2020, taking into account price and quality, is the Morphy Richards 332102 model, which has a 2-year warranty. The advantages of this device include automatic cleaning, high power, stylish design and ease of use. The device produces a pressure of 7 bar with a shock force of 400 g / min. The intensity of the constant steam supply is 160 g / min. The capacity of the water container of this stylish "handsome" is 2 liters. There is an automatic shutdown, a simple fixation of the steam generator on the base. As you can understand from the photo, the device is released in a purple-purple color.

Thus, even in the budget segment, you can find many good models. But why, then, does the cost of premium ironing systems differ so much with almost the same characteristics? The fact is that the final cost of such a technique depends on the mass of parts. If you do not know how to choose a steam generator, pay attention to the following parameters:

1. Steam intensity - in normal mode, optimally between 90 and 140 grams per minute. The power of steam boost can reach from 200 to 600 g / min and more. The higher the indicator, the easier it will be to cope with solid types of tissues;
2. Pressure - optimally from 3 to 7 bar;
3. Sole - aluminum models are lighter, but they are easy to scratch, stainless steel has better solutions, and premium ones are made of Teflon or ceramic. At the same time, even some flagship models have an aluminum base, but in this case some advanced technology or coating is implemented. Give due consideration to this issue;
4. The volume of the water tank is optimally from 0.6 to 2.5 liters. The larger the tank, the less often it will be necessary to be distracted to replenish the supply of water;
5. Protection systems - good models have “protection” from scale, are equipped with self-cleaning and a separate compartment for dirt, have an anti-drip system, auto shut-off in the absence of water and during voltage surges.

It is worth saying that the price is even formed from the shape of the nozzle (sharpened better), the number of nozzles and the quality of the body. Boilers can be represented by remote tanks, there are built-in tanks and dual models that pump water and dispense dosing. If you do not know which steam generator to buy, pay due attention to these points. To summarize:

• in price / quality ratio - Morphy Richards 332102;
