Steam generators and steam cleaners Bork: advantages and disadvantages, assortment

Properly selected household appliances can facilitate house cleaning and cleaning. And not only the safety of things and the efficiency of cleaning, but also the safety of the user depends on its quality. Therefore, it is worth considering the range of models of Bork steam generators and steam cleaners and find out the main advantages and disadvantages of this technique.

Bork Elektronik GmbH was established in Germany in 2001. Its main investor was the Russian company Technopark. Most of the production capacity of the German-Russian concern is located in China. This distribution of company resources allows Bork equipment to combine branded German quality with a relatively low price.

The main advantages of steam cleaners and Bork steam generators are:

• the price is lower than that of analogues produced in Germany and Switzerland;
• high build quality;
• modern ergonomic design;
• stepless adjustment of steam flow power;
• the use of high-quality body and sole materials (for ironing systems), which significantly increases their reliability;
• support for continuous steam supply;
• effective protection against scaling;
• high quality cleaning;
• the ability to work with any materials (the cleaner is equipped with nozzles for different coatings, irons support ironing modes of delicate types of fabrics).

The main disadvantages of ironing systems:

• large mass in comparison with analogues;
• relatively slow heating of the boiler;
• small volume of the tank for water;
• the price is higher than that of the Chinese counterparts;
• ~ 10% of users have an iron steam generator that fails after 1-2 years of operation.

The main disadvantages of Bork steam cleaners:

• insufficient volume of the water tank;
• insecure operation in the vertical steaming mode (it is necessary to pause, since the vapor pressure is insufficient for stable operation);
• lack of battery - the need for network operation limits the scope of the purifier;
• non-separable format and wide body make it difficult to use in hard-to-reach places (for example, for cleaning batteries).

The current range of Bork steam cleaners is represented by only one model, namely steam mop V602. This device looks like a vertical-mounted vacuum cleaner with a wide bell and has a power of 1.4 kW. The mass of the product is only 1.5 kg, which makes it convenient to operate. The height of the handle is 102 cm, which makes it possible to efficiently use the mop for people of any height. Boiler heating time - 30 seconds.

The kit includes 11 nozzles, including a universal, rubber roller, deflector and special nozzles for cleaning carpets and various types of floor coverings. Smooth digital adjustment of the steam flow rate in the range from 15 to 35 g / min allows you to choose the appropriate cleaning mode for almost any material. The V602 mop supports continuous steam generation, which allows you to add water to the tank without turning off the device.

Among the steaming systems for the home, such products are most popular.

• i603 - a budget (about 11,000 rubles) iron with a steamer, the power of the device is 2.4 kW. Weight -1.7 kg, water tank with a volume of 0.35 liters. Infinitely variable steam flow rate up to 60 g / min, indicators of heating and water level in the tank. Supports vertical steam mode.

• i604 is an upgraded version of the previous model, equipped with a touch screen.

• i780 - A premium model with power up to 2.6 kW with touch control, LCD-display and steam boost function with a capacity of 235 grams per minute.

• i800 - A powerful ironing station consisting of an iron and a portable steam generator. The volume of the water tank is 1.2 l, the system capacity is 2.2 kW. Provides a steam pressure of up to 3.5 bar, due to which it can be used not only for ironing, but also for disinfection and cleaning. Double heating in the generator contributes to the formation of "dry" steam, which is safer than usual and does not lead to the formation of wet spots on clothes.

• i810 - An ironing system consisting of an iron and an active table with a built-in steam generator. A power of 2.2 kW provides a steam pressure of up to 3.5 bar. The volume of the water tank is 1.2 liters. The Senstream function provides steam supply only while the iron is moving forward along the board, due to which the fibers of the fabric to be treated have time to cool and straighten during the reverse movement.

For both a steam mop and ironing systems, it is advisable to use purified or at least tap water - otherwise the filters may clog and require replacement.

Although Bork appliances are equipped with modern security systems and meet all safety requirements., the proximity of water to the electric heater is quite dangerous. Therefore, if any leakage occurs, the device must be immediately disconnected from the mains. Further operation will be possible only after repair and repair of leaks.

After you have poured water into the mop or iron tank, wait for the signal that the equipment is ready before starting work. After cleaning or ironing, the remaining water must be drained from the tank.
