Steam generator irons are in fact a lightweight iron with a base unit that generates steam for the iron. They will generate more steam at higher pressure, making the removal of creases much easier. Because the water tank in the base unit is bigger, you won’t have to refill it as often as with a regular steam iron. However, the downside of this solution is that they are quite bulky, so you will need more space to store them when not in use. When you are going to buy a steam generator iron, consider all the pros and cons. On this list you will find the best steam generator irons available in 2021 with some of their best features.
