Which is better iron or steamer?
Say what you like, but a steamer is not a very suitable thing in everyday life. After all, he does not smooth the seams, does not process bed linen. Also, it will not be possible to iron the details of the product before stitching them. But in the matter of putting clothes in order, the steamer is very convenient. The iron heats up in 1-4 minutes and the steamer is ready for use within 45 seconds. It also processes the product faster.
The water capacity in a conventional iron is only 0.25 liters and it is designed to work with full steam for 15-20 minutes. The iron needs to cool down before adding more water. You can put 0.5 - 4.7 liters of water in the steamer, everything will depend on the model. This is enough for 3.5 hours. The steamer produces steam all the time in sufficient quantities so that it penetrates well into the fibers of the product. You can’t iron clothes like that with an iron, because it releases steam in portions and this does not allow it to penetrate well into the fabric, so ironing is often delayed.
The weight of the steam handle of the steamer reaches about 350 g, which is significantly less than the average weight of the iron (1.8 kg). This means that the steamer can be used for longer without feeling tired. There are no creases or shiny spots after working with the steamer. What can not be said about the iron. This is a real salvation while working with wool and knitwear.
