Fast crease removal – thanks to 2800 W power and 260 g/min steam boost

The Durilium Airglide soleplate reduces friction across fabrics and the increased number of steam holes spreads steam more uniformly over the surface.
Large items and delicate garments move smoothly under the soleplate, improving finish quality while reducing snagging or marking.
