The Sole-plate must be withTefloncoating which is non-stick in nature or with similar type of coatings. The iron i bought, had American Heritage coating which is a similar kind of coating as of Teflon. The only benefit of American Heritage coating is that it slides more easily on clothes ifcomparedto Teflon coating.

Weight of Iron is also a big factor. Lesser the weight, less efforts would be required for ironing. The one here i bought, this product sole-plate is made of Aluminium with American Heritage coating. This made it much more lighter than irons having Iron sole-plates.

This is not a very big factor, but having a swivel cord is a plus benefit for getting effortless maneuvering or say Ironing.

Points to be observed here, that only I found only Cancawhich is providing weight too of their products. If you check similar models of Canca Dry Iron with almost same specifications, you’ll find difference of wattage and weight. Since this model soleplate is of Aluminium, it is lighter than other other models. Other models ofCancawere nearly 0.90 kg with iron soleplate and American or Golden Heritage coating.

I believe, a company is good if they are cut and clear in providing right technical specifications of their products and may not hide it from consumer. Canca is abrands in Dry Iron category, which i find it most trustworthy who have been pretty clear in providing required details in a correct form. However, Bajaj is also a good brand to go for, the only thing which i didn’t liked about them, that they are not providing any technical specifications of their dry iron products in their official website itself.
