It is impossible to imagine the life of any home without an iron. Devices for keeping clothes in a proper form appeared even when there was no electricity. And now, with the development of technology, irons have become lighter, more energy efficient and, most importantly, more powerful. This is due to the addition of new features and design improvements. Consider the best iron models of 2024 offered by the Chinese manufacturer GALAXY.

Compact, sleek iron with an ergonomic design. The very first thing the manufacturer recommends to do when using this iron for the first time is to clean the steam supply channels. They may have become contaminated during production and, together with the steam, may stain clothing. Therefore, the reservoir is filled with water, and it evaporates all, to the end. Then it is poured again and the iron is ready to use.
Thanks to a set of basic functions, it is used on all types of materials, as evidenced by the sole temperature regulators. When ironing, you do not need to tempt fate and check with an iron whether heating is suitable for a particular thing or not. There are the following designations:
Temperature | Fabric type |
---|---|
● | Synthetic fabrics (acrylic, viscose, polyester, etc.) |
●● | Wool, silk. |
●●● | Cotton, linen. |
It should be noted that such designations are relevant for all irons reflected in this rating.
To use the steaming or additional humidification mode, the tank must be filled with water. The fill level is determined by the MAX limit. After connecting to the network, the heating indicators (red and green) light up. When the red light goes out, the iron is ready for use.
It should be borne in mind that the steaming mode is possible only at the highest temperature. You can use a moisturizer to smooth out stubborn creases or, for example, to form an arrow on your trousers. It draws water from a special hole on the tip of the iron. It must be borne in mind that only boiled or purified water is poured into the tank so that the sprinkler spout does not become clogged with limescale. If this happens, the hole can be easily cleaned with a needle.
This model of the iron is equipped with a thermal shock function - this is a directed powerful steaming. It is carried out by directing the jet into the fabric. This function is convenient for steaming baby clothes, cotton underwear. This is done for hygienic reasons.
Ironing with this iron is recommended first at low temperatures. This is because the iron cools down more slowly. If you still had to reduce the heat during ironing, you need to wait more than 3 minutes for this temperature to appear.
For safety, the iron is equipped with an automatic shutdown system. It works 30 seconds after the iron is in a horizontal position and after 8 minutes - in a vertical one. This refers to the presence of the iron in a stationary state. Disconnection is signaled by flashing indicators. To resume work, you must change the position of the iron.After the indicator goes out, you can continue to work.

Model | Galaxy GL 6117 |
Power | 2200 Wt |
Outsole cover | ceramic |
Weight | 1.35 kg |
The iron is a compact model weighing only 1.35 kg. The streamlined shape, raised back part makes the iron maneuverable and better ironing on difficult uncomfortable places. The water tank is equipped with a transparent plastic lid to prevent dust from entering.
Steam is supplied by selecting a special temperature mode and pressing a button. The steam level is controlled by a regulator. The wider body hides a larger outsole. Therefore, a large volume of cooking laundry is no longer a problem. In this model, the steam boost function is available - for this, the maximum value of the steam regulator is set and during breaks of work the iron is placed on the base, and not vertically. Thanks to its powerful steaming, the iron can be used when working with garment details when sewing - the seams have to be steamed frequently, or an adhesive sealing strip must be glued on.
The power cord connects to the iron through a movable hinge, which protects it from twisting and kinking. And the hinge itself is with a high plastic sheath, which additionally protects the wire from damage.
The knobs and buttons switch smoothly and smoothly. There are practically no sounds from them. The shape of the buttons is pleasant to the touch, easy to press. A detailed description of the temperature, including intermediate values, near the heating controller. The designations near the buttons are written in Russian, which is very easy to understand.
The holes on the soleplate are staggered. This ensures even steam flow and a faster ironing process. And the place where water is poured into the tank is closed with a transparent plastic lid. Thanks to her, dust does not get into it.
The iron is equipped with a self-cleaning function (there is a separate button for this). This function works to descale steam passages. Cleaning is done by turning on heatstroke on a piece of old cloth. To keep the iron working, I recommend it every 2-3 weeks. To prevent severe blockage with limescale, it is recommended to use purified water for the tank.

Model | Galaxy GL 6116 |
Power | 2200 Wt |
Outsole cover | ceramic |
Weight | 1.55 kg |
This model of the iron is not much different from its predecessors. In it, Galaxy slightly changed the appearance, design and added a silicone seal to the tank lid. How important this addition is can only be determined in practice.
But from the innovations, vertical steaming appeared. This is a great solution for those who are not sure if their clothes can be ironed directly. There will be no harm from steam if it is directed correctly.
In the ironing function, everything remains unchanged: dry ironing, heat stroke function, humidification function, constant steam function. Thanks to minor innovations, the iron became heavier - it began to weigh 1 kg 550 g, but it did him good - it is easier to iron coarse fabrics.
The iron wire is secured in a hinged plastic protection - it is high enough to protect the wire from twisting and kinking. There is still no limiter for fixing the wire in the coiled state. This is a minor flaw, but it would suit Galaxy irons very much.Although, on the other hand, it would have increased their price and taken them out of the low price category.
This Galaxy has a great feature added - the button groove. This is a great addition for shirt lovers. Often, because of the inconvenience of ironing places with buttons, shirts stop wearing and switch to knitwear. This is not a problem with this iron.
For convenience of work, heating indicators are located on the body of the iron. When the iron is turned on, it blinks, when the desired temperature is set, the light is on continuously. This function is especially important when using steaming - if the required temperature is not reached, the iron will supply water instead of supplying steam.
All designations on the body are written in Russian, which makes the use of the iron intuitive. The buttons and controls are large and smooth to use. The maximum water filling level is clearly visible and the transparent body also clearly shows how much water is being poured into the tank.
The main disadvantage of this model is the lack of automatic shutdown. Of course, this is a relative disadvantage, nevertheless, the function of self-shutdown of equipment is not superfluous.

Model | Galaxy GL 6110 |
Power | 2200 Wt |
Outsole cover | ceramic |
Weight | 1.2KG |
The brightest model of the entire line of Galaxy irons. Rich colors combined with striking designs. There are plenty to choose from. For any hostess, such a gift will be an excellent find, which, in addition to performance, will also delight in appearance.
Galaxy is one manufacturer whose brand sequence does not mean a corresponding increase in functions at all. It would seem that there should be no special innovations for the Galaxy GL6110.
The manufacturer has equipped the iron with a ceramic sole and a number of nice additions. Among them there is an anti-drip system, anti-scale protection, a groove for buttons, a self-cleaning system and an overheating protection system.
A comfortable rubber tab has been added to the handle for easy grip. The cord is secured in a movable high braid mount.
The water filling hole is closed with a lid to prevent dust and foreign particles from entering. To maintain the quality of the steam supply and the water tank, you must regularly use the self-cleaning function - it is turned on with a separate button. Of course, it should be carried out with the maximum steam supply turned on and on an old piece of fabric.
One of the important and necessary functions in the iron is the anti-drip system. It saves things from getting wet during ironing at low temperature. It is often necessary to iron one or the other, leaving the tank full. In the absence of this function, water from the tank can get onto things, which is unpleasant, and when a person is also in a hurry, it can be very upsetting, since delicate fabrics, for example, cannot be dried with high temperatures, and you cannot go in wet clothes.
Anti-scale is another feature added to this Galaxy. She will perfectly cope with her task of protecting the iron only under one condition - to use only distilled water in the tank. This is a certain difficulty, since some of the family members will remember this, some will not. Therefore, the only way to prevent scale can be the use of pre-treated water. And timely pressing the self-cleaning button.

Model | Galaxy GL 6108 |
Power | 2400 Wt |
Outsole cover | ceramic |
Weight | 1.5KG |
Galaxy model with increased water tank capacity. Because of this, it has a higher mass and volumetric appearance. The reservoir lid is fitted with a silicone seal. Sole covering - ceramic. The shape of the sole is slightly changed - elongated, more pronounced with a powerful steam supply. On the soleplate of the iron, steam is released through a wide strip with three rows of holes.
The increased weight makes iron easier to iron thick layers of fabric. To improve the quality of ironing, the iron has the main functions - heatstroke and splashing. The mains lead is connected via a plastic braided swivel mount. High plastic cable protection at the base protects the cable from kinking and damage.
For the safety of the iron, the auto-off system, equipped with an indication, is responsible. That is, before turning off the iron will give a light signal. The display also reflects the inclusion of the iron. When heating is in progress - the light blinks, as the heating ends - the light is on continuously.
The powerful steam system allows you to steam things upright. But still, this is an iron, not a steamer, so it is better not to wait for super - abilities in this direction. The power of the steam supply can be adjusted with the regulator, and the steam supply itself is switched on with the button. Continuous steaming mode is available. Along with steaming, dry ironing is available.
The iron is also equipped with a drip-proof and antiscale system. In order for them to fully justify their purpose, you need to use only purified water for the iron and regularly use the self-cleaning button.
Among all the advantages and disadvantages of the Galaxy iron models presented in the review, they all together have common advantages and disadvantages.
Galaxy iron models are distinguished by a competent set of functions, pleasant design and low price. There are no unnecessary functions that increase the price, but in fact they are used quite little. Thanks to its easy operation, the Galaxy iron is easy to use and easy to get used to. Well, in the event of a breakdown, replacement due to the low price is not so noticeable. Definitely, choosing this iron is a good choice.
