Taking the guess-work out of de-creasing your garments, the B-IRON 725 is a transparent iron that allows the user to watch the ironing process.

The ironing process can be uneasy at times, as there is no direct visual contact with the part of the clothing that’s being ironed. There is no way to tell if the clothing is being properly smoothed. The soleplate of the B-IRON 725 is made of tempered glass, so the user is able to watch the ironing process. Whilst conducting heat adequately, tempered glass has a better degree of heat resistance than ordinary glass, meaning it can cope well with high temperatures. The electro-thermal wire, which is made of Nichrome (a nickel-chromium resistance wire), is laid out in a geometric pattern to suit the design concept of the product. If additional pressure needs to
be applied during ironing, the user is able to rotate the handle to the opposite direction for better support.
