All-inclusive ironing: TOP 5 best ironing systems

The Becker brand ironing system consists of a steam iron, a steam generator and an ironing board with 6 height adjustment levels (from 72 to 95 cm). The manufacturer declares the possibility of topping up water during operation (thanks to a 1 liter boiler).

Unlike most analogues, Becker A8 allows the autonomous use of an iron with a steam generator (without an ironing surface). Such a scenario is useful if, for example, you mainly perform vertical steaming or want to take a good iron to the country house, where there is already an ironing board.

The Becker A8 worktop is directly involved in the wrinkle removal process, as it has a 200-watt heater and a 50-watt fan. The first heats the countertop and helps to dry things efficiently. The fan operates in two modes. Blowing will take care of the lack of shine on the fabrics after ironing and will help to process hard-to-reach places, and suction will improve the fixation of things on the board (relevant for sliding products, like chiffon) and improve the overall quality of ironing.

Of the other parts of the equipment, a steam line holder stands out, which will eliminate unwanted kinks.

The 1150W steam generator complements the 850W iron heater. Such a tandem contributes to a stable supply of steam (maximum productivity up to 70 g / min and a pressure of 4 bar) and reduces the risk of splashing water. The user can adjust both the power of steam generation and the heating temperature of the aluminium soleplate.

Immediately after completion of work, it is proposed to hide the iron in a locker made of heat-resistant plastic.

The shortcomings of the model include a non-removable water tank, but thanks to the complete tank for filling, the procedure for replenishing the liquid should not be a problem. Some users complain about the quality of the plastic iron stand: due to high temperatures, it turns yellow and becomes covered with microcracks over time. Otherwise, the Becker A8 is an interesting ironing system at the junction of the entry-level and mid-price segments.

The Cecotec brand ironing station includes not only an ironing board and an iron with a steam generator, but also a steamer. It is designed for delicate care, disinfection and refreshment of clothes. In addition to it, a vertical rack with a hanger is also offered.

To quickly master the Cecotec Total Iron 10100 Pro will help the touch control display with support for not only sound alarms, but also voice prompts (can be disabled if necessary). Of the other features familiar today, it is worth highlighting the auto-shutdown.

The ironing system received a 2200-watt heating element and a capacious 2.8-liter water supply tank. They will take care of the quick "cooking" of steam and a sufficiently long operation without refueling.

Steam is supplied at a speed of up to 220 g / min, which, together with a working pressure of 5 bar, will make it possible to smooth out even rough folds and creases on clothes or other textiles (curtains, bed linen, etc.). Both the ceramic sole of the iron and the presence of 5 modes for different types of fabric (synthetics, silk, wool, cotton and linen) are responsible for the careful handling of things.

Cecotec Total Iron 10100 Pro has got a folding ironing board. The main work area is complemented by an undersleeve that simplifies the ironing of sleeves and other small items of clothing. Plus, such active functions of the board as ventilation and steam removal will also be useful. But there is no countertop heating, which should be attributed to the disadvantages of the model.

Special mention deserves a self-cleaning descaling system, transport wheels and special niches for storing an iron, a steamer and a power cord, which are located in the central rack.

The Cecotec Total Iron 10100 Pro is an easy-to-use and productive machine, ready for large volumes of ironing.

Visually, the MAC5 production system resembles an ordinary ironing board. But under the traditional stand there is a locker, where the iron itself is located. It is permissible to put it here after operation immediately, because it is made of heat-resistant plastic.

Next to the compartment in the MAC5 ARE 715 is a liter stainless steel water boiler and a heating element. It will take about 5 minutes to prepare for the issuance of steam. And if the water runs out, then you can replenish it without interrupting work: using the complete container for filling the liquid.

The working surface of the ironing system is made of perforated aluminium, over which a durable textile cover is put on. Under the tabletop there is one heater and two fans, working respectively for suction and ventilation. As a result, the ironing board is protected from excessive moisture, and it copes well with both intensive ironing (relevant for trouser creases) and gentle care for delicate items.

The MAC5 ARE 715 board has 7 height positions (from 75 to 95 cm) and an accidental folding/unfolding lock. At the top there is a practical holder with which the steam hose will not get in the way under the arms, and at the bottom there are strong metal legs with a protective coating against scratches and transport rollers.

The model is equipped with a household iron with a stainless steel soleplate. He received a comfortable handle, a rotary temperature control and a steam button. The latter also activates the ironing board (fans) by default. But to adjust the intensity of steam supply and turn on the heating, there is a separate control panel (near the iron stand).

MAC5 ARE 715 is a worthy representative of the middle class of ironing systems. A good solution for those who are looking for a simple model without unnecessary features.

The Miele ironing station differs from its main competitors in its design. The entire “stuffing” of the model is located in the oblong sidewall, which also acts as the main support leg. There is a 2200-watt steam generator and a removable 1.25-liter water tank (this capacity should be enough for an hour of ironing). There is also a compartment for an iron and a power cord, as well as a tray where scale collects after self-cleaning.

Ironing table Miele B 3312 has quite standard dimensions (120x40 cm). It is not only easily adjustable in height to suit the user's height (range 83 - 102 cm), but also folds in 2 simple steps. The work surface is in a vertical position and is adjacent to the sidewall, so that a lot of storage space is not required.

The soleplate of the iron has a honeycomb structure that promotes smooth gliding and even distribution of hot air escaping through the holes in the spout area. Also included is a special non-stick nozzle. It is designed for ironing delicate fabrics, items with prints, sequins, etc.

Steam is supplied with a capacity of up to 100 g/min and a pressure of up to 3.5 bar. According to the manufacturer, this is enough to eliminate all wrinkles even on multi-layer products, such as jeans, when ironing on one side only.

By default, the ironing surface begins to heat up when the iron is turned on, which is designed to speed up ironing and prevent the fabric from getting wet when exposed to steam. There is also a wire holder and a built-in fan that operates in the mode of blowing and removing steam. The first is useful for caring for delicate items, including frills, ruffles, etc., and the second will improve the penetration of steam deep into the matter.

Not only buttons help to control the model, but also an informative display with indicators and other tips on how to work.

The disadvantages of the ironing system include a high price. But, let's say, a related version with a Miele B 3847 steamer will cost even more.

Miele B 3312 is a justified choice both for fans of the brand and for everyone who prefers reliable household appliances from trusted manufacturers.

One of Laurastar's flagship ironing systems is notable for its stylish and thoughtful design. For example, by placing a 1.2-liter removable water tank and a steam generator along the support legs, it is compact when folded. As a result, Laurastar S Plus will require a niche only 20 cm wide to store it.

The model provides a folding stand for the iron, which opens access to the compartment for its storage. This cabinet is made of heat-resistant plastic, which means that it is not necessary to wait for the soleplate of the device to cool. There is also a traditional adjustment of the working surface in height (from 82 to 102 cm), transport rollers and replaceable filter granules (cartridges) in the delivery set, designed to purify water from scale.

The Laurastar S Plus iron has an aluminium soleplate, which contributes to both the overall low weight of the device (1.26 kg) and easy gliding on various materials. The base is complemented by 9 steam outlets, and under the handle is a traditional temperature regulator. A special nozzle-sole has also been proposed, which reduces undesirable high-temperature effects on delicate fabrics.

A 2200 W steam generator takes about 3 minutes to preheat the liquid. The manufacturer claims a constant working pressure of 3.5 bar, which ensures deep penetration of steam not only into the lungs, but into various dense, multilayer textile products.

To match its status, the system is equipped with an active ironing surface. It supports the function of creating a vacuum or blowing, and the user can not only select the appropriate modes, but also the ability to set one of 2 rotation speeds of the 16-watt fan. But the heating of the working surface is not provided.

Other options include automatic shut-off (after 15 minutes of inactivity), easy transport due to a moderate total weight (19 kg) and transport rollers. The disadvantages of the model include a high price. True, it is lower than that of the related version Smart M, which supports control from a smartphone. Therefore, if you need a high-quality and not bulky device when folded, then Laurastar S Plus definitely should not be deprived of attention.
