Even the best iron can not cope with ironing, if you do not have a good board. This applies to both owners of conventional devices, and happy owners of powerful generators emitting liters of steam. We offer a selection of new ironing boards that will make a great tandem with your iron.
Standard Ironing Boards
GIMI Advance 140 - a large board for a small apartment
The cute “multi-hand” Italian not only performs the functions of an ironing surface, but also helps in every way.
All thanks to a rich set: there is a strong stand that can withstand a modern steam generator, and a shelf for linen, and even a folding crossbar for long products (curtains, sheets, etc.).
Pros:
- Large working surface 126x45 cm.
- Very narrow nose, which allows ironing even difficult places on clothes or tiny children's things.
- Telescopic support bar - travels forward 39 cm.
- Removable cotton cover with lacing.
- There is a bottom shelf for folding ironed linen.
- The holder for a wire of the iron or steam generator is provided.
- Stainless steel mesh worktop freely passes excess steam.
Minuses:
- Too heavy - with all the attached equipment board pulls almost 9 kg.
- Too thin lining.
AirBoard Compact M-Plus - light and reliable
This year, Leifheit has released a limited version of the popular Compact M boards with a socket for connecting an iron. Despite its rather large dimensions (1.20х0.38 m without a stand), it weighs only 4.8 kg, so it will be easy to remove it after ironing.
The frame and legs of the ironing board are made of steel tubes, the tabletop is made of thermoplastic and is able to "reflect" the steam falling on it.
Pros:
- 5 levels of height adjustment from 75 to 95 cm and an extremely simple folding mechanism.
- Very tight removable cover, tightened with tape.
- The folding holder for a cord of the iron and a strong support "in the tail".
- There is an electrical connection function - a personal outlet with an extension cord into which you can plug in the iron plug.
- Thanks to the reflective surface of the tabletop, the fabric is steamed a third more efficiently when steaming, while the board itself does not get wet.
- Competently designed supports, allowing to set the device perfectly even, even if the floor comes with a height difference (up to 1 cm).
Minuses:
- High cost in the range of 8-10 thousand rubles.
- There are no shelves for folding ironed things.
Active Ironing Boards
Bosch TDN1700P - the perfect pair for a steam generator
This model is designed specifically for collaboration with modern steam generators. She calmly transfers the abundance of steam and is actively involved in the process of ironing, inflating the cover or, on the contrary, creating a vacuum under it.
The board has relatively small dimensions - 120x60x30 cm when folded and moves easily due to two wheels, despite the fact that its weight is 7.5 kg.

- High cost - about 20,000 rubles.
- Absolutely black cover to which small pile sticks from clothes.
Prima - the most reliable multipurpose board
Outwardly, and in terms of its functionality, this model differs little from other active boards, but the quality of its performance is beyond praise. The metal frame here is not just painted, and chrome-plated, which increases its durability and service life.
The tabletop is a dense chain of steel hinges treated with cataphoresis (an anticorrosive agent used to protect automobile bodies).
Pros:
