As a laundry essential, irons have evolved from bulky to lightweight yet equally – or more – efficient appliances. Here’s a roundup of four irons on the market that are changing the laundry game.
Tefal
Why choose between an iron and a garment steamer when you can have both in one compact appliance? The Tweeny 2-in-1 effortlessly does both jobs without the risk of burning your clothes, with its smart feature pinpointing the optimum temperature and steam for all fabrics, and its ceramic soleplate ensuring even heat distribution. Coming with a large 400ml removable water tank, the Tweeny can also produce highly concentrated steam for tougher fabrics. Lightweight with a 40-second heat up time, it’s perfect for people who are always on the go.
Philips
Never worry about burning your clothes again. The Philips steam iron combines just the right amount of steam and heat tailored to the kind of fabric you are ironing, from denim jeans to silk blouses, to ensure they stay scorch-free. Highly efficient, the iron’s automated decalcifying system gets rid of limescale buildup so that you consistently get the best steam output.
