Titanium-coated soleplate: The advanced titanium coating gives the plate a hard, slick surface that slides over cotton, linen and synthetics without dragging, and resists the scratches that eventually snag fabric on a cheaper iron. Heat spreads evenly across it, so you are not chasing cold spots.

Steam where you need it: Continuous steam runs at around 15 g/min for everyday creases, and a 75 g power shot punches through the stubborn ones - folded seams, heavy denim, a linen shirt that has been in the wardrobe too long - without you going over the same spot repeatedly.

Vertical steam for hanging garments: Tilt the iron upright and the same burst works on clothes still on the hanger, plus curtains and drapes. It is the quick fix for a jacket or dress you want freshened up without setting the board up at all.

Spray mist and anti-calc: A spray nozzle at the tip wets down set-in creases so they press out flat. Behind the scenes, the anti-calc system stops mineral scale clogging the steam vents, which is what keeps steam output consistent over the life of the iron.

Comfortable to hold and control: An anti-slip grip keeps the handle secure through a long session, and the fabric dial sits under your thumb so you can move between the acrylic, silk, wool, cotton, linen and max settings without breaking rhythm.
