Using wireless home appliances frees us from unnecessary cords. In everyday life we enjoy using various devices without wires: telephones, laptops, etc. Modern industry offers a variety of irons. The electric wire, which is equipped with an iron, creates certain inconveniences: it restricts the application space, crushes the already ironed fabric, and it is not desirable to be confused in the electric cables. An alternative to a traditional wire iron is an iron without wires. About how the wireless iron works, and how to choose an electrical appliance, you will learn from the article.
Wireless iron: the principle of operation
Externally, the wireless iron is similar to a conventional wired device. In order to understand how it works, let's try to find out how the wireless iron works.
In addition to the device itself, the wireless iron is supplied with a stand - a docking station, which is equipped with a power cord connected to an electrical outlet. The device serves to heat the thermoelement to the required operating temperature when the iron is placed on it. Contacts that heat the thermocouple when mounted on a stand are located at the back of the appliance. In many models of wireless iron, there is a module with a clamp, which secures the docking platform on the table or ironing board.
Advantages of a wireless iron:
- You can iron anywhere, without installing a specially ironing board and without using an extension cord;
- the absence of a cord makes it possible to freely and easily move the appliance over the entire surface of the smoothed product;
- thanks to a coating made using new technologies, the sole of the iron is protected from scratching;
- The wireless iron is distinguished by a special form of the rear panel, which allows it to be placed on flat surfaces without a stand;
- The household appliance has a higher level of safety than a wire iron in which the cord is worn, resulting in damage to the insulation of the wires.
But the action of the wireless iron has a significant drawback: the sole of the device quickly cools, so the bulk items (duvet covers, curtains, bedspreads, outer clothing, etc.) in the offline mode of ironing is not particularly convenient. It is necessary to place the iron on the platform periodically (approximately every 30 to 60 seconds) so that it re-warms up to the optimum ironing temperature for this type of fabric.
Wireless steam iron
The steam function helps to soften dense or overdried tissues and to iron them better. Many models of wireless irons are equipped with a special device that supplies steam, which has several modes of operation, including "vertical steaming" and "dry ironing". The steam iron is equipped with a self-cleaning sole and a system that protects the laundry from stains generated during ironing when water drops enter.
Many modern models of wireless irons with a steam generator can work, both from the network and from the battery. Usually ironing is done in a wireless format with this iron, and if the fabric is too stiff or the laundry is over-dried, then the device can be switched to a wired mode and used as a normal steam iron .
It is clear that any household device, which has a wider range of functions and creates additional convenience in operation, is more expensive than a simple household appliance. Buying a wireless iron, you should not try to save, because a cheap electrical appliance has fewer functions. Using a wireless iron, it is possible to shorten the ironing time and ensure the quality of the work performed.
