An essential household appliance, the iron is part of most people’s daily lives. However, when it comes to choosing one, we do not always opt for the appliance that best suits our needs.

With a range that includes steam irons, steam generator irons and steam generator stations, Flama offers different options that can easily adapt to your daily routine.
Curious? Read our advice and choose the ideal iron, with or without a steam generator for you!
Steam iron or steam generator iron: which should you choose?
With a smaller water tank and lower steam output, steam irons are ideal for people who iron less frequently and/or smaller amounts of clothing. They are also smaller and therefore easier to store.
Steam generator irons, on the other hand, have a larger water tank, making them more autonomous and suitable for people who iron larger quantities of clothing.
Does the soleplate material matter?
As the part of the iron that comes into direct contact with your clothes, choosing the soleplate material is essential. The ideal soleplate is always the one that glides most smoothly over clothing and is least likely to stick to it. Aluminium soleplates generally have a greater tendency to stick to fabrics. Ceramic soleplates, on the other hand, are the least likely to stick to fabrics while also distributing heat effectively. Explore Flama’s range and find the many options available with ceramic soleplates.
Anti-limescale system
This is a very important feature in an iron, given its steam production and the high risk of limescale build-up that this entails. It is therefore ideal to give preference to appliances equipped with this feature. Alternatively, whenever possible, maintain your appliance using descaling products.
Should I choose irons with high power?
Yes. The higher the appliance’s power, the greater its heat production capacity. As a result, the appliance’s steam jet and pressure will also be higher, making it easier to iron even the most difficult fabrics. With power ratings ranging from 2000W to 3000W, Flama offers a diverse selection adapted to the needs of every family.
