Overview of the best Braun irons and steamers by features and cost

Today Braun is not only a world-famous, high-quality and well-selling German brand, but also the confidence in devotion to tradition and customer care has been unchanged since the company was founded in 1921 by engineer Max Braun from Frankfurt am Main. The best Braun irons and steamers will be discussed in this article.

Braun Company

When buying Braun appliances, there is no doubt that the device will last a long time, provided that the product was not a fake, of which there are a lot now.It is sometimes very easy to detect a fake, just pick up the device and inspect the build quality so that there are no obvious defects, gaps and strange squeaks. Sometimes a fake is issued by an elementary misspelled name, an unpleasant smell, lack of a certificate or slurred instructions for the product.

High-quality Braun brand appliances can be purchased both in specialized hardware stores and in departments of conventional chain hypermarkets.

It is absolutely natural that the official distributors of the Braun brand are companies with a good reputation that have been occupying a leading position in the market for more than a dozen years, these are S3, Konsumatika, Delongi and Rixom-M.

When choosing a device for your home, you should pay attention to the country in which the direct production and assembly of products was carried out, since Braun brand appliances are produced not only in Germany, but also in Spain, China, Mexico, Poland, Hungary and Ireland.

Braun offers customers a variety of household appliances that can be used in the household, as well as in the field of beauty and health.

In this review, we will try to decide on the choice of such important household appliances as irons and steamers, in terms of price, quality and basic technical characteristics.

How to choose the right iron?

A good iron, first of all, should iron perfectly, ridding the item of wrinkles after the first contact with the surface of the fabric, thus saving the hostess's time with the ability to iron a large amount of laundry with a minimum of effort.

An iron with a good steam system for steaming dry, heavily wrinkled laundry can provide an efficient and enjoyable routine process such as ironing clothes.The higher the power of the steam boost, the faster it will be possible to cope with all the wrinkles.

There are irons with a vertical steam function, this allows you to process clothes hanging on a hanger faster, better, without harming naughty fabrics and without experiencing discomfort when trying to iron products with a complex cut on a regular ironing board.

The steam function can be a real lifesaver for people who cannot afford to spend a lot of time on household chores. But there is one pitfall in this process - this is dirty water that comes from our tap, it contains a lot of impurities that, getting into the iron, leave a strong scale when heated.

Unfortunately, after some time, after using a steam iron, an unpleasant surprise may await the buyer when, at the most crucial moment or before any important event, all the accumulated dirt in the iron suddenly decides to come out with steam during the next button press.

To avoid damage to linen by dirty scale, you should choose appliances with a built-in self-cleaning system from scale. Then a simple push of a button can prevent all unwanted consequences of using tap water. Some irons also have a special tank for scale, it needs to be cleaned periodically, that it is time to clean the iron can also be signaled by a special indicator, which some models are equipped with.

The power of a household appliance for every day should be within 2000 W, since irons with low power, purchased in order to save energy, actually require more time and effort to iron, which in turn only increases the amount of energy consumed and the weariness of the hostess.

In addition to power, an important criterion when choosing a device such as an iron is convenience. You need to hold the device in your hands before buying, check whether the cord is long enough, whether it is convenient to hold on to its handle, whether it is too voluminous and heavy or, on the contrary, light.

When it comes to electrical appliances, safety plays a big role in the choice and use. Surely many people are familiar with the situation when they ran out of the house in a hurry and do not remember whether they pulled the iron cord out of the socket.

In this situation, many Braun irons will protect the house from fire, since in the rest mode in an upright position, the appliance has an auto-off function. In addition, some models of irons switch off even when the iron is left lying horizontally on the surface of the fabric.

Nevertheless, for safety reasons, nevertheless, before leaving the house, all electrical appliances should be de-energized, even if they have a protection system.

There are situations when a completely high-quality device that could still serve loses the integrity of the stroking surface. This question is perhaps the most difficult, since it is quite difficult for a non-professional to predict how the surface of the iron will behave when heated and accidentally in contact with metal or plastic.

The soleplate of Braun irons is resistant to deformation, easy to clean and ensures perfect glide of the device in any mode for fabrics of various qualities.

Consider some of the popular models of Braun irons, which are in great demand among buyers.
