Recently my wife bought a steam generator from a low-price store. Bringing this purchase home, she strictly forbade disassembling it, knowing that I was a fan of seeing the device of technology. With words: -"What if you can't put it back together, so don't bother. Make only an external review and that's it. I even photographed the price tag for you. " The little wife answered.
But curiosity took over. While my wife was with my mother-in-law, I quickly took it apart to find out how the steam generator differs from the kettle. Instrument complete set:
- Generator, measuring cup, instructions, two attachments, one for light fabrics and one for coarse fabrics. The length of the wire is one and a half meters. Not short and not quite long.

A lot of screws hold our special teapot together.
Let's start with the power button, it has three positions. First mode, second mode on and off. Some detail is still sealed to it, what is it? Perhaps you know? I’ll call it a resistor, and you’ll peck me in comets.
The heating element is peculiar, as I understand it, its power is 600 watts. Low power is apparently provided so that the generator does not quickly consume water, but slowly transfers steam. Also, the second position of the switch switches it to economy mode. Electricity consumption in this case is 300 watts. I took measurements with a wattmeter, so I know.
An emergency switch is installed on the heating element against overheating of the device during operation without water. I did not check its performance, I still return it to my wife.
The steam generator used interesting solutions for overheating of parts. The lower part is protected by hard, special plastic, with a gap from the heater for hot air circulation. A plastic water tank is special. rubber. Even the wire going to the switch is made of it. And there are markings on it with a maximum operating temperature of 180 grams. celsius. The flask with water is ordinary, with a space for vaporization. When filling in 200 ml.
In vain my wife did not believe in me. I assembled the steam generator and tested it on my wife's jeans. The temperature of 98 degrees works great and easily steams things. A couple is enough. They can also disinfect and clean anything.
By the way, I recently assembled a steam generator for a garage from an ordinary kettle, here is the link: cry
