Steam generator vs Iron
Iron - A necessary attribute for every home. It can be an old or new model, with or without steam supply, wired or wireless, invariably only one thing - it is with it that every housewife spends several hours a week trying to give shirts, jackets, dresses, and children's clothes a more neat look. You can buy a device in any household appliance store, while you can find a model that is right for you by a set of necessary characteristics and an appropriate budget.
But technological progress does not stand still and a new device has appeared on store shelves - a steam generator. He smoothes the clothes with the sole of the iron and steam, which is formed in the boiler, and is supplied under pressure from the boiler directly to the fabric. A powerful jet of steam gently smoothes clothes, can steam a suit or curtains, and clean furniture. When smoothing with a steam generator, the fabric does not deteriorate, steam comes under pressure, this will help keep your clothes safe and sound. As for a conventional iron, here the steam comes out under very little pressure, and it often overheats, which can harm delicate fabrics. Therefore, the iron can only win at its cost. In all other respects, the steam generator looks much more attractive.
Brand Loewe
Loewe company specializes in the production of video and audio equipment. The brand has gained an excellent reputation as a manufacturer of high-quality and reliable equipment and is widely represented in the markets of the countries of the European Union, USA, Canada. Since 2015, under the Loewe brand, the company has been producing steam irons, which in 2017 became the sales leaders in Germany. Since 2016, Loewe steam irons have been on the Russian market.
Features of the Loewe Premium Power Station steam generator
The device combines the capabilities of a steam generator, iron and steamer. Using the built-in boiler, you can put your favorite fur coat, shirt, shirt, pants and anything else in proper condition. Moreover, it is not necessary to remove clothes from hangers.
You no longer have to worry about the safety of the ironing machine when using ordinary water, because German engineers introduced a progressive descaling system into the steam generator.
Loewe Premium Power Station is equipped with a special ceramic sole with a spider-like gutter system. An innovative dry steam supply technology is also used here. All this makes it possible to smooth out virtually any fabric. This approach allows you to get rid of unnecessary problems with the choice of temperature conditions for a specific material, because there is a single mode for all types of tissues. And this directly affects the duration of ironing, which is significantly reduced. In this case, you do not have to worry about the clothes, because they will not suffer in any case.
What is the effect of the gutter system, because the hole for supplying steam is only one ?! When steam is supplied to the fabric, steam is distributed over these recesses, creating a “pillow” for smooth and high-quality smoothing of a variety of things. The ceramic sole heats evenly and glides easily over the fabric.
A few words must be said about dry steam, which is completely safe and harmless. Thanks to a high pressure of 7 bar, steam removes not only wrinkles and irregularities, but also harmful microbes, dust mites and other small infections.
It is very important that with all its efficiency and versatility, the Loewe Premium Power Station remains a fairly economical ironing device. Its power of 800 watts is enough to quickly heat the water in the tank - 300 ml. Therefore, you do not have to pay large amounts for electricity when using such a device. Moreover, it must be understood that the power indicator of power absolutely does not affect the effectiveness of smoothing the fabric.
And, of course, Premium Power Station is made in the best traditions of the highest German standards. Each instance undergoes a thorough review, consisting of several stages. Such product quality control has increased the warranty period to 2 years. Everything is in place here. A convenient handle allows you to not get tired while ironing, and the steam supply button is located directly under the fingers.
We test on fabrics
Real tests on various tissues should show how good this steam generator really is.
Test No. 1: a cotton shirt
He coped with the shirt without difficulty, a special gutter for buttons simplified the task of smoothing “problem” places. The before / after example is very revealing.
Test number 2: a t-shirt with a picture
They “took a chance” with a T-shirt with a picture and ... nothing terrible happened. I smoothed it well, I did not ruin the fabric and sole. Decent result.
Test number 3: bedding
And now we come to the most interesting. According to the stated information, it copes with fabrics in 4 layers. We checked this on bedding, folding the sheet in four layers, the result is obvious. "Deal" with a sheet device was not difficult. The same applies to pillowcases, which after ironing look very even and smooth.
Comparison with competitors
Loewe Premium Power Station vs Philips GC9650 PerfectCare Silence
Comparing the Premium Power Station with the GC9650 PerfectCare Silence, the Loewe model has much more compact dimensions. At the same time, the Philips steam generator power is higher, it consumes more electricity, but ironing things is no better. GC9650 can also cause problems, as clothing can get wet due to the strong pressure of wet steam.
Loewe Premium Power Station vs Philips GC8620 PerfectCare Aqua
Both of these models are very similar in terms of capabilities. But at the same time, the Philips GC8620 irones linen, shirts, and other cotton material worse. Dripping water, which may well get on clothes, is also an unpleasant moment.
Loewe Premium Power Station vs Tefal GV8962
Tefal GV8962 does not have a very convenient descaling system, unlike Power Station. GV8962 has a powerful steam supply technology, it effectively irones different materials in vertical and horizontal position. But all spoil the excessive dimensions of this steam generator. In this regard, Loewe Premium Power Station is almost 5 kg lighter than its competitor.
Loewe Premium Power Station vs Braun IS 5043WH
Reliability and design are not about Braun IS 5043WH. The aluminum sole, albeit of high quality, is still inferior to ceramics in its functionality.
