Product Description
A ceramic soleplate that glides over buttons and seams instead of catching on them
Braun's FreeGlide 3D SuperCeramic soleplate is the reason to pick this iron. The edges are shaped so the plate rides over buttons, zips and seams rather than snagging on them, which is what turns ironing a shirt from a three-minute fight into a one-minute job. Behind it sits a 300ml tank, continuous steam up to 50 g/min in Turbo and a steam shot for the creases that will not go, with an anti-drip system that stops water marking the fabric when you are working at a lower temperature. A precision tip gets into collars and between buttons, there is a self-clean function for limescale, and Eco mode cuts energy use by up to 65% against Turbo.
FreeGlide 3D SuperCeramic soleplate
A ceramic plate with reshaped edges that rides over buttons, zips and seams instead of catching. It is the single biggest difference between a good iron and a frustrating one.
Continuous steam up to 50 g/min
Steady steam output in Turbo mode for working through a basket of shirts.
Powerful steam shot
A burst of extra steam for set-in creases and heavy fabrics - rated at 180 g/min by retailers and up to 220 g/min on Braun's own page.
Anti-drip system
Stops water spitting onto the fabric when ironing at lower temperatures - the usual cause of a water mark on a dry-clean-only shirt.
300ml water tank
A 300ml tank with an easy-refill opening, so you are not topping it up every few garments.
Precision tip
A pointed tip that reaches into collars, cuffs and the gaps between buttons.
Self-clean function
Flushes limescale out of the steam chamber, which is what keeps the steam holes working in a hard-water area.
Eco mode
Saves up to 65% of the energy used in Turbo mode for everyday fabrics.
Ergonomic open handle
An open handle shape that is easier on the wrist through a long session.
