Theory
Steam iron: A steam iron is an electrical appliance that uses heat to convert water into steam. This steam is
emitted onto fabric to smooth out wrinkles. It has adjustable settings for different fabrics.

Types of steam iron
Power Source: Corded vs. Cordless Iron
Temperature Control: Automatic vs. Non-Automatic Iron

Type of Heat: Basic Clothes vs. Steam Iron
Sole Plate Material: Ceramic, Stainless, vs. Titanium
Portability: Foldable vs. Mini Iron
Parts of steam iron
A steam iron consists of several key parts

Sole Plate: The flat and roughly triangular base of the iron. It’s typically made of aluminum coated with a non-stick
