Steam Generator Irons

A steam generator is essentially the traditional steam iron but without the integral water tank. Instead, a larger water tank is built into a separate unit.

A high capacity boiler rather like a kettle, generates large quantities of continuous steam which is fed to the hand held iron by a steam hose. Steam Generators are classed as either non pressurised or pressurised.

In the pressurised versions, steam is boosted as it is expelled from the iron - thereby pushing it deeper into the fibres of the garment being ironed.

With non pressurised steam generators although they still deliver much more steam than a traditional iron, they do release the steam more gently than a pressurised version and this makes them cheaper to buy.

The amount of steam pressure generated is measured in bars - with 5 being the highest and most effective.
