Steam generator irons, or continuous steam irons, consist of a traditional-looking iron unit connected by tube to a water tank from where pressurized steam is generated. They produce significantly more steam than regular irons, thus allowing ironing time to be halved. The higher the pressure generated, the deeper the steam
penetrates. An iron's steam output is indicated in grams per minute (g/min), and this can vary from 50 to 140g/min between different models.
