BRAUN CareStyle 7 Pro IS7286BK vs PHILIPS 7000 Series PSG7300/80 Comparison Analysis

BRAUN and PHILIPS Generator Ironing Systems

Braun and Philips steam generator irons work by heating water held in a station tank. This heated water by Braun CareStyle 7 Pro and Philips 7000 Series “generates” high-pressure steam which is fed through a hose to the iron’s soleplate.

This constant flow of hot BRAUN IS7286BK and PHILIPS PSG7300/80 pressurised steam works deep into fabrics, efficiently ironing out wrinkles and creases, leaving laundry smooth.

Because the base water tanks on BRAUN and PHILIPS steam generators are separate – holding 2 and 1.5 litres, respectively – it makes the iron handle and soleplate light, easy to move, and requiring less refills.

The Philips PSG7300/80 and Braun IS7286BK steam generator irons are designed to handle ironing large loads of laundry with ease.

PHILIPS and BRAUN Iron Power

The BRAUN IS7286BK CareStyle 7 Pro and PHILIPS PSG7300/80 7000 Series come with a wattage rating of 2700 and 3120. Typically higher wattage BRAUN and PHILIPS models equals more powerful steam and quicker heat up time, but also greater home energy consumption.

Steam Generator Iron Bar Pressure

All BRAUN or PHILIPS steam generator irons have a “bar” rating, which is a measure of steam force output. The BRAUN IS7286BK has 8 bar, and PHILIPS PSG7300/80 8.5 bar. The higher the bar pressure, the more steam from the Braun and Philips soleplate holes, and better crease removal.

Steam output for the Braun CareStyle 7 Pro IS7286BK is 190 grams per minute, and the Philips 7000 Series PSG7300/80 releases 170 grams every minute of ironing.

Both the Braun CareStyle 7 Pro and Philips 7000 Series feature “Boost”, which more than doubles the 190 and 170 gram/minute steam flow rate, for a short burst to assist the Braun IS7286BK and Philips PSG7300/80 iron heavy fabrics or stubborn creases.
