Once upon a time in Russia they stroked like this: they took a special rolling pin, tightly wrapped linen, towels or clothes over it, and then rolled a corrugated rectangular board from above. Then the tree was replaced by heavy cast iron irons that work on coal.
Fortunately, progress has stepped far from those harsh times, but things have not yet learned how to iron themselves. Therefore, the choice of iron is still an important issue. Rating irons 2016 will tell which iron is better to choose. The review was compiled from user reviews of the Yandex.Market website.
We also prepared a rating of the 5 best irons of 2017 according to customer reviews.
10. Philips GC 9642
Average price: 31 300 rubles.
The most expensive model begins - the steam system from Philips. Great design pleases the eye, and excellent ergonomics reduces ironing time by about two times. Ironing clothes made of thick fabric perfectly thanks to the powerful steam supply: steam pressure up to 7.2 bar, feed up to 135 g / min, steam boost up to 440 g / min. A 1800 ml boiler for a family without children lasts for a week.
Minus: price.
9. Maxwell MW-3012
Average price: 1100 rubles.
The only model in the family of travel irons in this ranking. It has a steam boost function (there is no constant supply), a sprinkler, a long cord and an excellent price.
Minus: it is not as small as we would like.
8. Philips GC 4924/20
Average price: 10 800 rubles.
Model with automatic temperature adjustment depending on the type of fabric - OptimalTemp system. True, at first it can be difficult to believe the manufacturer and, after linen trousers, immediately switch to thin silk, but they quickly get used to the good.
7. Tefal GV5246
Average price: 11 700 rubles.
Good steam station for home ironing. Although the steam button has to be kept constantly, it is conveniently located. Steam pressure under 4.5 bar, continuous flow up to 90 g / min.
Minus: the water in the boiler boils for a long time.
6. Delongli VVX 1420
Average price: 13,000 rubles.
Although this steam system has been around for three years now, it has enjoyed steady popularity. The volume of the boiler is 850 ml, the vapor pressure is up to 4 bar, the feed is up to 80 g / min. If you are faced with a choice which iron with a steam generator is better to buy, then this model is especially for you.
Minus: the stainless steel sole does not move well on fabrics with a high synthetic content.
5. Philips GC 4928/30
Average price: 11 800 rubles.
The ranking of the 5 best models of irons in 2016 is opened by Philips. The power of this model is 3000 watts. Strong steam (adjustable feed up to 50 g / min, steam boost 210 g / min) will allow you to easily and quickly iron things and fix the arrows on the trousers. The iron can work in two modes - economical and maximum. Nice little things: the steamer button is located below the handle; long 2.5 meter cord; and, of course, the OptimalTemp system.
Minus: iron weight - 1 kg 75 g, and not memorable design.

The characteristics are very similar to the previous model Philips GC 4928/30, but in a brighter color scheme.
