An iron built for the next decade, the Reliable V200 takes everything that we know about steam irons and infuses it with eco-friendly technology to make a product that will help protect the environment while it saves you money. Reliable’s new Eco-Intelligent feature helps you save water by only starting the steam when you pick up the iron. When the iron is not being held, the steam automatically turns off and it goes into sleep mode, saving water and energy.
The Eco-Intelligent feature works very well because the iron gets hot quickly. By having two heating elements inside the iron, the Reliable V200 can produce steam at a lower temperature than other irons. The first heating element is inside the water tank and pre-heats the water. Then the water travels to the exterior soleplate where it is vaporized. Normally the water would simply travel to the soleplate to be vaporized, but the addition of a second heating element minimizes the actual heat required to run the iron.

The anodized aluminum material helps to enhance the smoothness of the soleplate, making it very easy to move over any type of fabric. The inner magnesium plate helps to increase the strength and durability of the iron and reduces the overall weight to 3.8 pounds. Magnesium is much lighter than the stainless steel that is typically used in steam iron construction, so an inner core of magnesium helps to make the iron lighter and much easier to use.
