    BUYERS’ GUIDE

    DIFFERENT SOLEPLATE TYPES

    Aluminium: A good heat conductor but scratches easily.

    Non-stick: Glides over fabric, but be careful of scratching the coating.

    Stainless steel: Distributes heat evenly and glides well, but it might melt decals when on a high setting.

    Ceramic: Offers even heat distribution and a smooth gliding action.

    FEATURES TO CONSIDER

    • Steam control: Allows you to select the amount of steam required for the fabric.

    • Steam boost: Offers an extra shot of steam for stubborn creases.

     For ironing hanging items like jackets and curtains.
