Which electric iron is suitable for home use

Electric iron is a small household appliance that can almost be said to be a must-have for every household. When you open it for a few times and lightly iron it, the crumpled clothes will be straightened instantly, especially white-collar workers who need to wear suits and suits to work. They need to iron clothes every day. So do you know which electric iron is suitable for home use? Today in this article, I will introduce several electric irons suitable for home use.

1. Ordinary household electric iron

Ordinary household electric irons have simple structure, price, convenient manufacture and maintenance. The temperature of the soleplate of an ordinary household electric iron can be maintained at about 170 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for ironing cotton and wool fabrics. Ordinary electric irons cannot control the temperature, so it is difficult to meet the ironing requirements of all kinds of clothes. When ironing chemical fiber fabrics, a little carelessness will burn the clothes. Sometimes the temperature can only be controlled by the user's experience. The continuous power-on time of ordinary electric irons should not be too long, otherwise, due to the gradual increase in temperature (up to 600-700℃), the heating element will be burned out, the plating layer will also be destroyed and the clothes will be scalded.

2. Steam spray type household electric iron

Steam spray type household electric irons have both temperature adjustment function and steam generation. Some are also equipped with a spray device to avoid the trouble of manual water spraying. The clothes are wetted more evenly and the ironing effect is better. When the clothes being ironed are thicker or the clothes have more wrinkles, a steam spray type electric iron is suitable. The steam spray type electric iron is very powerful. The high temperature of the soleplate makes the water in the vaporization chamber quickly boil and vaporize, and generates enough pressure to spray water mist continuously; if the temperature control knob is turned to the low temperature zone, the spray is not water. The fog is a small water column, which will cause water stains on clothing and affect the appearance.

3. Temperature-regulating household electric iron

The temperature-regulating household electric iron can automatically adjust the temperature within the range of 60-250℃. When the temperature of the soleplate exceeds the selected temperature, it can automatically cut off the power, which is more power-saving than the ordinary electric iron of the same capacity. The temperature-regulating electric iron is equipped with a bimetal thermostat that can adjust the temperature. When the temperature rises to the required temperature, the bimetallic sheet bends downward due to the heat, so that the power contact is separated, the power is cut off, and the electric iron no longer heats up. When the temperature drops to a certain level, the bimetallic strip returns to its original state, and the power is turned on again. Repeatedly switching on and off in this way keeps the temperature of the electric iron constant.
