Ironing men's shirts and few people enjoy. To facilitate the work of housewives, manufacturers are trying periodically to improve the familiar to everyone device - an iron. Brown is a German company, which is distinguished by its attentive attitude to ergonomics and reliability of household appliances. Consider the irons of this company Texstyle 7 models.
Precious iron sole - the trump card
Iron manufacturers decided to pay attention to such a problem of all irons as abrasion and scratches on the sole. Sapphire is known to be close to diamond in strength. It was this quality that the inventors decided to use. They covered the sole of the iron with sapphire spraying. Now you need to try very hard to leave damage on such a surface. You can even brush Brown Iron with metal brushes. Sapphire for many years will keep the sole in perfect condition.
Specifications
Power model - 2,400 watts. This makes it easy to iron the most naughty fabrics. The narrow nose of the iron is equipped with steam holes. It is very convenient for ironing shirts where there are buttons and in other hard-to-reach places.
The power of steam boost is - 170 g / min. The Texstyle 7 Brown Iron has a 400 ml water tank. Steaming can be carried out in a vertical position. There is no need to remove a thing from a hanger to refresh it and smooth it. For curtains, this function is considered indispensable.
The special sapphire coating not only does not scratch, but also provides ease of sliding on the surface of the laundry. Auto power off is not available on all Texstyle 7 models. This parameter can only be found on the TS 765 A and TS 785 STP models. To call a steam boost on the iron body there is a special button - "Extra Steam". It should be pressed in places where the usual functions of the iron are clearly not enough.
Appearance and Ergonomics
The appearance of the device is quite modern and fashionable. The company paid sufficient attention to ergonomics. The handle is made of plastic with rubberized inserts. With prolonged ironing, this is an important fact. The Texstyle 7 Brown Iron has a 2.5 meter cord. This is quite enough, especially if the ironing board itself is equipped with sockets. Colors - gray, blue, white or black.
Positive reviews
Iron "Brown" reviews from the hostesses are mostly positive, and they relate to the ironing process itself. Owners of the device easily cope with shirts and inaccessible places on clothes. All this thanks to the narrow nose of the iron and the holes on it for steaming.
Vertical steaming is not satisfactory to buyers. The Brown Iron Texstyle 7 does an excellent job.
Like the happy owners of the device, and the sliding ability of the sole. Time is now spent on the process many times less.
The design of the household appliance is designed in such a way that when it falls, the iron will not break and will not lose its function. This fact is seen in the reviews of housewives. Of course, you should not check the strength of the device in this way. Much depends on the height of the damage, and on the floor covering. But users are talking specifically about falling from an ironing board.
In the kit for the iron you can find a special nozzle for ironing delicate fabrics. Mistresses note that when you use it, you can safely iron thin and white blouses and are not afraid that yellow spots will appear on the surface. This nozzle is indispensable for ironing suits and trousers. You can forget about special materials and gauze, through which the older generation of housewives are used to stroking. The nozzle is fixed firmly and does not come off during the ironing process.
Ergonomics thought out to the smallest detail. The buttons are comfortable and pressed effortlessly. The wheel for choosing the temperature and fabrics also rotates easily. The cord does not twist.
Negative reviews
The Brown Iron is not so perfect. Testimonials on forms and sites are evidence of this. The main reason why many housewives did not like the device is its instability. This problem can be easily solved with a special stand on the ironing board. In this case, the iron will be stored in a horizontal position. This is not always convenient, but this is the only way out of the situation.
The cord on some Texstyle 7 iron models is not very durable. Its length also does not suit all housewives.
The water injection hole is narrow, but this drawback plagues almost all irons. A measuring cup with a spout is not included in many models. I have to use watering cans and bottles.
Scale does not form on the iron for a certain time. Then the appliance begins to leak and stain clothes. Only the use of special water for ironing will correct the situation.
The weight of the device, especially with a full tank for steaming, is impressive and does not suit all women.
The average iron price in Russia is 6-7 thousand rubles.
