Know before you buy
Unlike traditional irons that boil water directly on the soleplate, the Velocity 240IR pre-heats water into steam before it reaches the soleplate. This design ensures consistent, high-quality steam output even at lower temperature settings, preventing water spotting.
Yes, the iron is designed to be safe for all fabric types. Because it generates steam independently of the soleplate temperature, you can effectively remove wrinkles from delicate items without risking heat damage.
The sensor steam handle is designed to activate steam only when you are actively gripping the handle. This provides you with intuitive control, releasing steam exactly when you need it and stopping when you let go.
The Eco setting is optimized for energy efficiency and lighter ironing tasks, while the Turbo setting provides maximum steam output for tackling deep, stubborn creases in heavier fabrics like denim or linen.
No, the Velocity 240IR does not include an automatic shutoff feature. You will need to ensure the iron is manually turned off and unplugged after each use.
