The presence in the delivery set of the iron of a special
nozzle for delicate fabrics — silk, cotton, etc. Such a nozzle has a smooth surface, and is also designed in such a way as to exclude heating above a certain temperature and the ingress of accidental drops on the fabric when working in the steaming mode. All this prevents tissue damage and allows you to gently and effectively iron them. The nozzle for delicate fabrics is removable and attached to the sole with clips.
Many irons have special settings for sensitive materials, which can eliminate this feature. However, if you have to deal with delicate fabrics often and a lot, it is still advisable to choose an iron with a nozzle.
The length of the cable for connecting to the mains provided in the iron.
Manufacturers select the length of the cable, taking into account the general specialization of the iron and the characteristics of its application — so that the wire is enough for most cases and at the same time it is not too long and bulky. Therefore, in most cases, this parameter can be ignored; exceptions are only some specific situations. For example, if you choose a travel iron and compactness is a key criterion, you should choose a
shorter wire. A
long cable, in turn, will come in handy at a great distance from sockets and the absence of extension cords.
For clarity, we note that for household irons, the average cable length is 1.5 m.
