12 Best-Rated Steam Irons For Crisp And Creaseless Clothes

Dry iron, as the name suggests, does not have water tanks or any water-holding capacity. With a solid soleplate, it is recommended for folks who do not iron often at home and mostly outsource the service. 

On the other hand, steam irons come with a 'spray mist function', which allows that gentle spritz of water on the clothes while you iron. They are more efficient, ease up the ironing process, and remove creases from clothes in a jiffy!

Swivel cord: A long swivel cord will help you with the ironing process, as you do not need to worry about the cord getting plugged out.

Soleplates: Steam irons have soleplates with tiny holes in them; this is where the steam and water come out from. While stainless steel and aluminium are durable and affordable options, ceramic plates are a better pick for a smoother glide.

Heat Setting: A higher wattage indicates the ability of your steam iron to heat up quickly, thereby improving its performance. 

Self-Cleaning Abilities: This comes in handy when you have to clean hard water off your soleplates to maintain your steam iron.

Automatic Shut-Off: This is one of the most important safety features that can automatically shut off the iron when not in use for a particular amount of time. This avoids any negligent situation.

Anti-Drip Feature: This feature helps avoid any water spots on your clothes, and prevents any leakage that usually happens at low temperatures.

Water-Tank Capacity: Having a transparent water tank with a surmountable water capacity makes it convenient to use as you don't have to refill multiple times.
