The invention relates to a portable textile treatment device (1) comprising a heatable sole plate (4) intended to be in contact with a textile (TXT) for treating the textile. The portable textile treatment device also comprises an image sensor (5) for taking an image of the textile to be treated, an illumination system (6) for illuminating a portion of the textile when said image is being taken. The portable device also comprises a control unit (8) configured for executing an algorithm stored in said portable textile treatment device, using the taken image as an input of said algorithm, to obtain a classification of the textile; and controlling, based on said classification, at least one operating parameter of the portable textile treatment device. The image sensor and the control unit are integrated within the portable textile treatment device. The image sensor comprises an active surface sensitive to light, the image sensor being oriented with respect to the surface of the heatable sole plate (4), with an absolute value of an orientation angle being in the range from 15 to 70 degrees; and/or the illumination system (6) comprises a light source oriented with respect to the surface of the heatable sole plate (4) being in contact with the textile, with an absolute value of an orientation angle being in the range from 15 to 70 degrees.

DOMESTIC APPLIANCE FOR IRONING CLOTHES AND SIMILARS
An appliance for ironing clothes and similar, comprising a body adapted to support a soleplate and fixed to a handgrip; heating means arranged within said body and connectable to an electricity network for the heating of said plate; and means for generating steam connected to a water tank and to said plate to diffuse steam towards the outside via first and second holes arranged on said plate; said body being mounted rotatable around an axis of lateral rotation passing through said handgrip; said axis passing through said handgrip at an anterior portion of the handgrip and being inclined by an angle with respect to said handgrip so as to allow a user of the appliance to move said body and said plate between a first operating position for ironing said clothes in direct contact with said plate, and a second operating position for vertical steam ironing of said clothes also not directly in contact with the clothes; characterized in that in at said second operating position for vertical ironing, said plate is arranged in a position rotated by 180° around said axis with respect to the position assumed by said plate in said first operating position.
