Always want to look neat.And it does not depend on where you are: at home, at work, on vacation or on a business trip. At home, this issue can be solved with the help of a washing machine and an iron. But being away from home is much more difficult to do. Fans of travel are forced to look for a place where you can put yourself in order. You can always take with you a few sets of clean clothes. This will not look for a washing machine. But when you are in a suitcase, things will surely be covered with folds, which so spoil the appearance. To combat them, there is a mini-iron, which you can always take with you on the road.
Modern society has become accustomed to comfort.Therefore, such electrical devices have become part of our lives. A small iron can come in handy when traveling. It will help smooth out crumpled things, remove an unexpected crease, refresh a costume, dry wet things. It has a small weight and size, but at the same time - quite impressive indicators.
In addition, a mini iron for needlework is used. It allows you to smooth out even the most inaccessible corners and folds on things. Therefore, such a device is useful not only on the road, but also at home.
The main differences between mini-irons and ordinary onesis their small size and low weight. This is what immediately catches the eye. Looking at this miracle of technology, you can decide that this is a toy. Often, a traveling iron has a length of only 9-10 cm. But at the same time, it has quite good performance, thanks to which it perfectly performs its basic functions. The small size allows you to take the iron on the road without worrying about the lack of space in the suitcase.
Advantage in the form of small size canturn out to be a drawback device. Due to the small area of the sole ironing a similar iron more slowly. To smooth a thing, it is necessary to spend more time.
The sole of a small iron warms up to 360degrees This temperature allows you to smooth out any folds on clothes. But the power is much lower. It does not exceed 1.1 kW. It also affects the process of ironing.
Producers do not stop at achievedresults. They strive to achieve more. One of these new products is a folding travel iron. In such models, the handle is removed completely or rotated on its side. This does not save much space, but allows you to place the device more carefully.
For convenience of transportation, road irons hide in special covers.
As noted above, the dimensions of the traveling irondo not exceed 10 cm. At the same time its weight is in the range from 400 to 600 g. Its power is 350-1100 watts. This is several times less than that of an ordinary iron. Despite this, the iron is able to remove wrinkles from everyday clothing formed during storage in the suitcase. And this is the main thing. After all, on the road, no one would iron heavy fabrics that are difficult to iron (for example, curtains or tablecloths).
There are mini-irons with steam.They allow you to get in a minute to 30 grams of steam. Some models are able to smooth clothes in an upright position. True, the water tank is very small. It contains no more than 60 ml. It is worth noting that there are models with a removable water tank. In some models there is even the option "steam blow". It allows you to quickly throw up to 45 g of steam for a minute.
Another important feature is the ability toconnect the device to an electrical network with a different voltage value. Not in all countries, the voltage in the network is 220 V, as in Russia. For example, in the countries of Europe or America it is equal to 110 V. In order for the iron to work in all countries, there is an adapter. It is included in the delivery of electrical equipment. An alternative to it may be a voltage switch, which is available on the body of some models.
