The best mini travel irons: TOP-10 models rating, pros and cons overview, selection tips and customer reviews

1

1On long trips and travels, I also want the clothes to be ironed and tidy.

This can be helped by a mini travel iron, which does not take up much space in luggage.

It does not require multifunctionality, but dimensions, weight and efficiency are important.

A lot of such products appeared on the Russian market. When a road iron is selected, the rating of the best models will help you choose the best option.

How to choose a travel iron?

When choosing a travel iron, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

  • Dimensions and Weight. Traveling devices are usually quietly placed on an open palm. In extreme cases, go beyond its limits by 2-3 cm. Their weight is in the range of 500-800 g.
  • Power. For road models, it does not exceed 1.8 kW. For effective smoothing, it is desirable to have an iron with a power of at least 1 kW.
  • Sole. It can have a special coating (double sole) or be made of metal, but with a removable pad for delicate ironing. Budget irons have an aluminum sole or Teflon coating. Stainless steel is often used, but it makes the structure heavier. The most high-quality soles have a ceramic, sapphire or cermet coating.
  • Modes and controls. Good appliances have a temperature and power control system. Usually 3 standard modes are provided: delicate ironing (silk, synthetics); mixed fabrics and wool; linen and cotton fabric.
  • Steam. The ability to supply steam is considered an important function. It can be fed continuously or by steam boost. To create steam, 30-70 ml water containers are installed.
In road irons, the design of the handle plays an important role. It should be durable and comfortable, but not greatly increase the size and weight of the entire device. Foldable construction, high-strength materials and rubberized inserts are preferred.

    My work is connected with frequent and multi-day business trips. You have to live in rented apartments, where there is not always a good iron, or even not at all. Therefore, I have long been accustomed to traveling with my iron. Has already changed several. My last purchase of the Polaris PIR 1007T is fine with me. And it’s not so heavy. Irones well, the sole is not sticky and steams well too.
