270IR

The Reliable Velocity 270IR is a hand-held iron designed for ease of use in quilting and sewing. Its manageable size makes it suitable for limited spaces and portable for retreats or guild meetings. The iron includes a long 8-foot cord that swivels at the base, providing ample reach without the need for an extension cord.

The Velocity 270IR is equipped with an aluminum sole plate featuring numerous holes for efficient steam distribution. This material is noted for its durability and smooth glide across fabrics. The integrated water tank has a capacity of 300 mL, which, despite the seemingly small volume, lasts for hours even with maximum steam output. For longevity, the manufacturer recommends using distilled water and emptying the tank after use.

Steam generation is a key feature, with the iron producing a continuous stream of vapor that works both horizontally and vertically. Steam is activated by grasping the handle, which contains a built-in sensor, and can be turned off with a single button press. This powerful steam output is effective for flattening seams and removing stubborn creases from fabric, utilizing Reliable's dual-element and micro-pump technology.
