What's an ironing system and what can you use it for?
The advantage
An ironing system makes ironing easy and fast. An ironing system has an active ironing board with a built-in steam generator. It has a suction and blowing system. The suction function keeps the clothes on the ironing board so that they don't shift and it makes sure that the clothing is steamed. You can use the blowing function when you need to iron delicate fabrics. When you inflate the clothing, you steam the fabric dry at the same time. This way, the clothing stays nice longer.
The water reservoir
Most ironing systems have a detachable water tank. You can fill it under the faucet. This way, you don't need a pitcher when the tank is empty. You can also easily clean the water tank this way.
Tips for making a choice
Ironing systems sometimes have useful properties that make ironing as easy as possible.
- Automatic switch-off: The iron switches off automatically when you don't use it for a while. That saves energy and it's a lot safer.
- Movable ironing system: an ironing system is large and often very heavy. If you don't have a permanent place for the system, make sure it has wheels so you can move easily.
