The best firms of irons without steam generator for home

A country: Germany
Rating (2019): 4.6
The oldest company serves consumers mainly in the mainstream segment. The strict lines and colors of the irons are designed not to be distracted by the laconism of design, but to focus on the functionality of the devices. If, in appearance, the manufacturer does not depart far from the almost century-old tradition, the technical content of the models is aimed at meeting current trends. The ease of use of the equipment depends on the type of sole and handle chosen, the steam supply power.
TexStyle 7 series is widely represented in retail outlets, it is difficult not to notice the logo applied to the body of goods. The models entering into it draw attention of buyers with the heating rate of a sole, option of adjustment of supply of steam, the volume tank for water for which in a set there is a volumetric glass. Among the shortcomings in the reviews of the owners stand out:
- weak steam blow;
- substandard vertical steaming;
- no nozzle for delicate ironing;
- technologically imperfect anti-drip system;
- insufficient protection against scale;
- noise during operation;
- structural instability.
In general, the quality of equipment in combination with the declared not the most budget price is clearly inferior to the recognized leaders.
