Iron with auto shut-off: features of use
Not all models of this equipment have this function.
When a person is faced with choosing a device for ironing clothes, he rarely thinks about safety, and in vain. Today, many manufacturers, taking into account international standards, produce models of this device with a very useful function, namely automatic shutdown. How does this option work? What are the most important criteria in choosing such an iron? It’s not difficult to figure this all out...
How does the auto shut off feature work?
Many of us, when ironing clothes, worry about whether they have turned off the iron after finishing work, checking whether the plug is pulled out of the socket. And if you use iron with automatic shut-off, you don’t have to worry about this, because after some time the fire option will automatically work and the device will be disconnected from the network. In most cases, the device in a horizontal position will go into inactive mode after 30 seconds, or in a vertical position after 5-10 minutes. The iron with auto shut-off is equipped with a built-in motion detector, which will determine how long the iron is in a static state.
What are the criteria for choosing an iron with auto shut-off?
Essentially speaking, when choosing an iron with this function, you need to rely on standard rules. In particular, we are talking about the need to study in detail the characteristics of the device and understand how convenient it will be to use. The following points need to be taken into account:
- мощность – a good iron should have a power of at least 1500-2000 W. Such a device can easily cope with the processing of not only thin, but also dense things, while the platform will heat up quickly;
- steam pressure – it is desirable that the steam boost force be at least 150 g per minute;
- cord length – this is a very important point, because the cord largely determines ease of use. The most optimal solution is a 2,5 meter long cord. You also need to pay attention to the fastening of the cord; a convenient solution is a ball mount;
- sole – Manufacturers offer irons with different sole materials, the most common being steel, aluminum, ceramics, and titanium. The most preferred options are titanium and ceramics.
Also, when choosing, you need to take into account additional functions. And the point here is not that the more functions, the better, but that the functionality is necessary. In particular, we are talking about the fact that you need to first understand what functions you will use.
