Updated 14 November 2026
What to check before you buy a iron
- Steam output: 30 to 45 g/min is good for daily ironing; a steam shot of 150 g or more removes hard creases from cotton and lawn.
- Soleplate: ceramic and steam-glide soleplates glide smoothly and do not stick to fabric.
- Power: 2,000 to 2,600 watts heats up fast.
- Garment steamers are great for suits, dupattas and delicate fabrics without an ironing board.
- Anti-drip, anti-calc and auto shut-off features make the iron safer and longer-lasting.
Iron types
- Steam iron: daily ironing of shalwar kameez and shirts.
- Steam generator iron: big tank for ironing a lot at once.
- Garment steamer: suits, dresses and curtains without a board.
- Handheld steamer: small, quick touch-ups and travel.
Care and maintenance
- Use filtered water if your tap water is hard, and empty the tank after use.
- Run the self-clean or calc-clean function every month.
- Store the iron upright so the soleplate is not scratched.
Common mistakes
- Buying only on price without checking the key specs above.
- Ignoring the warranty and where the service centre is.
- Not measuring the space before ordering.
