The Velocity 230IR uses our patented 2 heating element and micro pump technology to provide our most advanced level of steam output with both eco and turbo temperature settings. Spitting and leaking are over as the 230IR turns the iron's water into steam before it reaches the soleplate. The iron's sensor technology means you have steam on demand when you need it. The anodized soleplate is the hardest, most scratch-resistant, and best gliding material that exists for ironing.
