Corded Steam Irons
Panasonic NI-E610TVTW - steam iron with non-scratch sole
Inexpensive, but functional iron with its small dimensions easily copes with ironing even dense fabrics. Its titanium outsole is highly scratch-resistant and will always slide easily - no matter how many years you use your iron.
A power of 2.38 kW, plus an adjustable steam supply and a good “hit” with an intensity of 84 g / min - this is not a complete list of the advantages of this model.

- Titanium coating on the sole retains heat longer and is not scratched by metal fittings.

- The price of 1,700 rubles with such characteristics and rich functionality will not seem high to anyone.
Minuses:
- The lack of a water cup and a narrow neck opening for pouring.

Cordless Steam Irons
Tefal FV9976 - the most powerful among wireless
A stand-alone iron is especially convenient when steaming things upright, and the absence of a cord makes it easy to iron clothes of complex shape without tangling in a long wire. True, until recently, such devices lacked the power and shock force of steam, but this problem was solved in the FV9976 model.
The iron is easily placed on the base and quickly charges - in just 4 seconds. When the device is ready, it will be reported by a light indicator.
Pros:
- The battery life is 25 seconds (for comparison, it is possible to iron out the part of the clothes that is placed on the ironing board in just 8-10 seconds).

Minuses:
- You can not put, as usual, on the heel.
