Product Information

Other features include an anti-drip system, water spray, self-cleaning function to prevent lime-scale build-up, and a vertical steam option for curtains. It heats up in 30 seconds, so you won’t need to wait long to start ironing, and has a temperature ready indicator. Braun’s clothes iron range is separated into three different tiers – the TexStyle 3, 5 and 7 series. There are also three types of sole plates – Ceramic, Eloxal and Saphir – that Braun uses for its clothes irons. Ceramic coated soleplates are less common in irons, but are still durable and provide even heat distribution as well as help eliminate static. Braun’s Eloxal soleplates claim to have a patented anodised coat to ensure scratch resistance and efficient glide ability while its Saphir soleplates are stated to have an even higher scratch resistance and glide ability. For easy maintenance, you can clean the Eloxal and Saphir soleplates with steel wool. Price wise, the ceramic plate is the cheapest in the range, with Saphir being in the high end category and Eloxal in between the two. Ironing with a heavy iron can be a tiring and frustrating chore. Fortunately, there are some excellent lightweight irons on the market that are both comfortable to hold and effective at removing creases.
