Best Electric iron in India

Irons in India used coal to heat them up and came with a wooden handle. These were very heavy and dangerous since the coal could spill out and burn not just clothes but also the person ironing them. Even today, most of the so called ‘press walas’ who iron your clothes for meager charges, use these heavy coal filled Irons. Also, they sprinkle water over every cotton garment that needs to be ironed. Only then do the creases straighten out and the garment looks neat.

The Electric Irons came to India much later. And when they did, they sure must have revolutionized the way of maintaining crease free clothes. In India especially, where cotton clothes are the regular wear due to excessive heat and high temperatures most of the year, electric irons have been a boon for every home. Light weight and run on electricity, they are not only simple to use but also a delight to work with. They are ideal in every sense. The temperature control system in these irons helps regulate different temperatures for different types of clothing. You can change the temperature mode from warm to very hot for silks, chiffons, woolens, crepe, and cottons.   

Also, these electric irons are equipped with the steam option. So instead of sprinkling water manually, you just need to use the steam option for ironing cotton and khadi clothes. That makes it much more convenient as well as clean to work with.

A lot of big companies in India manufacture electric irons. They are equipped with all features that are required in an electric iron. Sunflame, a major name in kitchen appliances, also boasts of the best in electric irons. With a teflon coated sole plate, variable steam control, vertical steam shot, and a 360 degree swivel cord, the electric iron is moderately priced at 1390 rupees. Yet another version of the electric iron by Sunflame offers a ceramic coated sole plate along with a unique anti-calc, anti-drip, and auto shut-off function. This one which is priced at rupees 2590 has a self-clean function as well.

 Apart from being light weight, these electric irons also have a shock proof body and automatic temperature control. However, one must still be careful when using electric irons. After all, electricity operated devices need to be carefully handled. Science has made our lives much easier than before but it can also hurt if not handled well.
