A steam iron includes an ironing unit and a water inlet unit. The ironing unit includes an ironing plate and a heating member disposed for heating the ironing plate. The ironing plate has a first heating space, a second heating space isolated from the first heating space, a first steam hole in fluid communication with the first heating space, and a plurality of second steam holes in fluid communication with the second heating space. The steam iron is operable to convert between a power mode, where water is only introduced from the water inlet unit into the first heating space, and a regular mode, where water is introduced from the water inlet unit into the first and second heating spaces.

A heat press including a body, a heat plate, a handle, a cover, a control compartment and an insulation portion. The body includes a first end and a second end. The heat plate is located proximate the first end of the body and is configured to engage ironable materials. The handle is located proximate the second end of the body and is configured to withstand forces from a user. The cover covers a portion of the body and the handle. The control compartment includes an electrical circuit, controls and a display. The control compartment is spaced away from and is at least indirectly electrically coupled to the heat plate. The insulation portion is positioned between the control compartment and the heat plate. The insulation portion includes a first layer of insulating material.

The present application relates to steam iron (10) comprising a soleplate (12), a discharge element (14), a retaining member (16) and a collection compartment (17). The soleplate (12) comprises a steam chamber (13) for generating steam. The steam chamber (13) comprising an opening (13A) arranged at a rear end (R) of the soleplate (12). The discharge element (14) extends from the opening (13A). The collection compartment (17) is formed in the discharge element (14) for collecting calcified deposits (S) formed in the steam chamber (13). The retaining member (16) is arranged in the discharge element (14). T retaining member (16) extends over a front end portion (P1) of the collection compartment (17) to retain the calcified deposits (S) in the collection comportment (17). This invention prevents the calcified deposits from escaping from the collection compartment when the steam iron is tilted.

An iron has a heel on which the iron can rest during inactive ironing phases, an internal reservoir, a fill opening fluidly connected to the internal reservoir, a fill opening cover movable between a closed position and an open position, a seal configured to seal the fill opening when the fill opening cover is in the closed position, and a vent which is fluidly connected to the internal reservoir when the fill opening cover is in the closed position. The seal includes a barrier part extending into the internal reservoir, and a ventilation orifice which is fluidly connected to the vent, and which opens into the internal reservoir, the barrier part and the ventilation orifice being configured so as to prevent liquid from flowing from the internal reservoir and through the vent when the fill opening cover is in the closed position and the iron rests on the heel.
