Nikai Dry Iron 1200W Ceramic Soleplate NDI624N

Our review

This is a straightforward dry iron from Nikai, built around a 1200-watt element and a golden ceramic-coated soleplate. The classic shape includes a cool touch handle, an easy regulator for adjusting temperature, a heel rest, cord wrap and an indicator light, with a 1.6-metre heat-resistant nylon cord. Because it is a dry iron rather than a steam model, it suits anyone who prefers pressing without water, or who already owns a steamer and wants a reliable second iron for crisp folds, seams and everyday household laundry. Before buying, think about your routine: if you mostly iron large loads of cotton and linen, a dry iron with a ceramic soleplate glides well and is simple to keep clean, but you will need a spray bottle for stubborn creases. Check that the cord length reaches your board comfortably, and compare against steam irons of similar wattage if you want built-in water. Ceramic soleplates are generally kinder to fabric than bare metal, though they should be wiped rather than scrubbed. The adjustable thermostat and indicator light make heat control easy to follow, and the cord wrap helps storage. It is available on Sokonia.
