conclusion on electric iron

An electric Iron is a general household appliance used to press the wrinkles out of the clothes. This works on the basis that the combination of heat and pressure removes wrinkles. The principle of the electric iron is that when current is passed through a coil, the coil gets red hot and transfers the heat to the base plate of the electric iron through conduction.

In the earlier days steam irons were used, but now the electric iron is preferred over the steam ones. Steam irons have some maintenance issues due to clogging. Steam irons usually have vents through which the water passes. As the steam iron gets used, slowly the minerals from the water accumulate at the vents and blocks the water from passing through. Thus the efficiency of the steam iron is compromised. So the steam iron has to be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure its proper working. If you live in an area where hard water is used, then clogging is a major problem.

This drawback is eliminated in electric iron as it uses a heating element and there are no vents in it. There is considerably less maintenance in an electric iron when compared to a steam iron.
