A home iron is a necessary thing in a modern apartment, both for an inveterate bachelor and for a large family. Everyone wants to look neat and tidy, regardless of gender or social status. Gone are the days of huge and heavy Soviet irons, which can now only be found in museums or closets. These “aggregates”, and in another way the language does not turn to call them, were heavy, and did not have the possibility of fine tuning and steaming. Now, even for little money, you can buy a simple iron that will perform its main function – to properly iron most of the things from your wardrobe without the risk of ruining them. Of course, a low-power, compact travel iron will not be able to iron a thick cardigan made of real wool. Therefore, it is important to understand the features of such a simple-looking technique. A sales assistant from one of the largest retail chains in our country will help us compile a list of the best irons for the home in 2022 Evgeny Mulyukov.
To visually show our readers the diversity of the market, we have compiled a list of the best irons for the home. As usual, we started with the simplest models that even students can afford. On the rise, we will reach advanced options, with many necessary functions.

A powerful iron with a high-quality, but fragile ceramic soleplate. The latter, by the way, is the main trump card of this iron. On it, the manufacturer specially made an ingenious system of grooves that does not allow hot water to collect on the sole or fabric. A nice bonus of the iron is the vertical steaming system, which is useful for some delicate types of fabrics, such as knitwear.

One of the best home irons in our selection. For such a lot of money, you get everything that can be in a small device. Powerful and lightweight iron with Tefal’s signature ceramic soleplate, vertical steam, anti-calc and premium design.

How to choose an iron for home
An iron is an integral part of modern life, and sometimes we don’t even think about the fact that we need to choose it in some special way. Of course, if you grab the first iron that comes across in the store, it is unlikely that you will be comfortable working with it. Sales consultant Evgeny Mulyukov told the CP what to pay attention to in the first place.
