The Digital Velocity Compact Vapor Generator steam iron is the newest iron to consider for your sewing room. Unlike other steam generating irons that require a separate water tank where the steam is generated and then flows through an attached cord, this iron has a built-in tank and only one cord to manage. The tank is easy to fill through a spout with a convenient flip-top opening that stays covered during use. The added weight of this iron makes ironing a breeze and construction pressing and fusing faster and easier.

Because the Velocity generates the steam within the iron itself rather than relying on the soleplate temperature, now you can get the steam you need, even at lower iron temperatures required for synthetic fibers. (With traditional irons, steam is unavailable at lower heat settings.) And since water spurts and spits won’t happen, delicate fabrics are safe from water damage. Larger steam holes concentrated at the tip of this iron deliver constant and abundant steam.

And this iron “talks” to you! The Velocity has an acoustic warning device that beeps when the desired temperature is reached, when the auto shut-off safety system is activated and each time you press a selected button. The digital control system features an LCD display that shows the temperature level selected (one of three) and indicates when it is reached. It also shows the amount of steam selected, the auto shut-off indicator, water tank refilling indicator and an anti-scaling system replacement indicator. You know when the steam generator feature is activated – you can hear it and the sound is a reminder to deactivate the steam when you don’t need it. The automatic switch off is activated three minutes after the last time it was used. This is one smart iron that is easy to use and offers pressurized, continuous steam – on demand.
