Steam irons, the price range in which the Polti Vaporella can be found usually have an external water tank. This water tank can be refilled during the ironing process. The water from this tank is fed by a pump to the iron and evaporated there.
This process corresponds to the operation of conventional steam iron (just with an external tank) and produces a moist (water-containing) steam of about 3 - 4 Bar That is, wait for the onset of steam shock must and the first shock is not aimed better at. to be ironed garment.
Unlike aforementioned steam irons their price range the Polti Vaporella has a pressure vessel, which produces about 5 bar, dry steam. After heating of the pressure vessel of the steam is at your fingertips; hotter and higher pressure than in comparable steam ironing systems. That is, the ironing process is more effective and is not delayed due to unnecessary waiting times.
A disadvantage has the technology. The pressure vessel is relatively small (about 0.9 L) and can only be replenished if the pressure has been reduced to ambient pressure.
My wife anyway pleased and says it ironed twice as fast; and I no longer live with the risk of an iron to get thrown at his head.
