Girlie Gadgets: Iron Innovations
|
|
|
 Irons – they’re a necessary evil and the worst Mother’s Day present out there. But in the last hundred years, how much progress has been made since the days of the solid iron heated in a coal fire?
Do we even need an iron anymore? Is a steamer better for your clothes – and for you? What’s out there?
We put the call out and found some of the latest innovations in the ironing realm - and found there’s been more technological advances than just cosmetic facelifts… Did you miss Tee on Breakfast this morning? Check out the link here.  New Innovation: The Digital Iron
Model: Sunbeam SR6900 Accura
RRP: $159.99
What it does: The Accura has an inbuilt digital thermostat and LCD screen for an accurate performance and precise temperature control every time! The twin element technology also allows it to produce maximum steam, even at low temperatures – one element heats the soleplate, while the other works on producing steam. Also has auto-off functionality.

New Innovation: The Personal Steamer
Model: Tefal Express Steam Generator
RRP: From $499.95
What it does: Where a traditional iron uses the power of dry heat to remove wrinkles, a steamer such as the Tefal Express generates moist heat in the form of steam to ‘relax’ the creases. Great for delicates or items that are hard to traditionally iron – steamers are also more time efficient.

 New Innovation: The Disco Iron
Model: Russell Hobbs Thermocolour Steam Iron
RRP: $109.99
What it does: As the temperature of the iron’s soleplate changes – so does the colour of the water chamber, letting you accurately gauge the iron’s temperature at a glance whether you’re looking to iron delicates or more heavy duty cotton. Also has auto-off functionality.

 New Innovation: The Pink Glitter Iron

RRP: $149.95
What it does: Besides the cosmetic appearances, the Philips Steam Iron comes packed with ease-of-use features, including a front-loaded steam point to get into the tightest spots, an extra-large water inlet (to prevent unnecessary refills) and extra long cord length and 360 degree swivel. Also has auto-off functionality.
