No one canceled the neat appearance, regardless of the conditions of stay. To always have an iron on hand, do not rely on hotels and hostels, it is better to carry it with you. To do this, home appliance manufacturers make special road irons. The models differ primarily in compactness and low weight, so as not to take up much space and not add weight.

Our experts studied the domestic market, having familiarized themselves with user reviews, and made up-to-date rating, which included 6 best road irons.

How to choose a travel iron

1. Power. The road models have a small power, does not exceed 1000-1500 W, so the sole heats up longer than full-size devices. According to experts, this is enough for comfortable ironing of most materials.
2. Weight. Do not try to take the easiest road iron, because the extra 300 g will not play the role and will not weigh the luggage, but in practice more weight will have a good service. Using such a device, you will not have to make an effort by pressing on the iron. We advise you to look at models that weigh about 800 g.
3. Outsole material. Metal ceramics and sapphire plating are considered resistant. Such soles are not afraid of mechanical damage, so do not be afraid of metal parts on things. Teflon soles are less practical and may scratch. Aluminum quickly heats up and cools down, but is severely deformed. They are equipped with low-end models. Soles made of stainless steel are particularly popular among road irons, due to the low cost and fast heating, but the products weigh more than their counterparts with soles made of other materials.
4. A pen. Choose a traveling iron with a folding handle to save space in your suitcase or travel bag and avoid breakage. Check ergonomics, the handle should rest comfortably in your palm and not slip out. For this purpose, special anti-slip pads are placed on the surface.
5. Steam function. Steam allows you to more effectively iron any type of fabric in a very short time and without much effort from the user. Especially good steam softens hard fabric, such as jeans and linen. Vertical steam will be a very useful option for a road iron, because you don't have to look for a board.
6. Equipment. Since the iron is constantly with the user on the road, it will not be out of place to have a special cover that protects the case from pollution and damage. Products with steam function are equipped with a small measuring cup with a spout to conveniently pour water into the tank.
