Steam Iron or Normal Iron

Hi Guys,

I have not used Steam Iron.
And want to know which is better a Steam Iron or Normal Iron?
also which type of Iron u guys use?

also give what info u know abt both.

I use steam iron.

Steam iron is better. Generally u need to sprinkle water b4 you iron a cloth. For normal iron you have do it by hand whereas the iron itself does it for steam one.

Easy to use but be aware that it would emit steam, so you might just burn your hand if accidentally your hand is exposed to steam.

If you want a quick no hassle iron then normal is good enough. Else you must be carefull at all times with Steam iron.

ok..but the results are better in both irons.?

pros & cons of both wud be useful.

Steam is better. Removes wrinkles, and less chance of burn.

ok..but rithwick pointed out that we can burn our hand if not used properly... :grin:

Are you going to iron the clothes or your hand..?

lolz...no..as he said it emits steam thats y I asked... :lol:

If opting for steam iron insure RO water to be used ,as calcium in water damages steam iron ..

It emits steam only at the faceplate not like a boiler, upwards. Assuming you are not going to handle its' faceplate facing towards you.

Steam iron is better.

See it emits it from some pores. Unless you hand is like 1/2" away from it, and kept there say for 5 minutes, you will get a heat burn.

It is 100% safe.

Why would anyone burn hands with steam iron, when the steam flow is downwards? Unless you use your hands as ironing table

Dude, accidents happen. Why would anyone like to burn his hands that too by a steam iron.

I've clearly told, his hand might get burned if exposed to steam.

Haven't u read those statuitory warnings?

Even if you hold your hand under the steam it will not burn it. Like I said, if for 5 minutes, then yes. But this is no reason to be a deterrence to get it.

what is that RO?can't I use normal Tap Water?

Q: Does Steam Iron consumes more power then Normal Iron?Also wireless steam iron available?

^^^
Reverse osmosis filter.
You can use normal tap water, but overtime it leaves calcium deposits on the linings. But that's not a big issue with steam iron, it's does make a difference in geyseys & other boilers stuff and it is advised to de scale from time to time in the them.

You can get wireless steam irons, but the branded ones cost a bomb. There are unbranded wireless steam iron boxes for as low as 1k.

Hello Friends!
:wave:

Is it better to have an iron that emits continuous steam? Or, would an iron that provides manual control, such that a user can voluntarily press a button/nozzle to generate steam whilst ironing, as and when required, be comparatively beneficial?
:chinscratch:

I got a Philips GC1905/21 Steam Iron, Philips 1900 series GC1905/21 - Steam iron, for my dad, but while I used it, I was not entirely comfortable with its continuous steaming functionality, perhaps because having used a steam iron with manual control in the past, and thus not having any experience with one that generates continuous steam.
