## Overview

The Reliable Velocity 240IR is a cutting-edge 1800W steam iron featuring sensor touch activation, a scratch-resistant anodized aluminum soleplate, and patented dual heating technology that delivers 55% more continuous steam without leaks. Designed for versatility, it offers auto and turbo settings for all fabric types, a compact form factor ideal for home and craft use, and an adjustable auto-off function to keep you in control.

## Description

Full of technological features including the sensor steam handle, the Velocity 240IR is an advanced home iron that can take care of the toughest creases while being gentle on delicate fabrics with its eco and turbo settings. The Velocity 240IR’s patented built-in steam generator produces up to 55% more steam than traditional steam irons for perfect ironing in less time. While traditional irons are prone to leaking and spitting, the Velocity irons use a patented 2-heating element and micro-pump technology that pre-heats the water and turns it into steam before it reaches the soleplate. The Velocity 240IR iron will give you perfect constant steam at even the lowest temperatures, yet are 100% safe for all fabrics.

## Features

- Sensor Touch Technology - Velocity 240IR will respond to your touch. Simply placing your hand on the sensor activates the stream of steam and releases a powerful and steady flow
- Anodized Aluminum Soleplate - Gliding smoothly along fabrics, the Velocity 240IR has a scratch-resistant soleplate that is superior to ceramic and conventional soleplates
- You’re In Control - Ironing delicates and heavy fabrics in the same load? The Velocity 240IR has an AUTO setting that's safe for all fabrics, and a TURBO setting for heavier fabrics that need a little extra heat and steam
- Compact Vapor Generator - Is continuous steam at low temperatures possible? Yes! With our patented dual heating element technology, water is heated before it reaches the soleplate, eliminating leaking and spitting
- Auto Off Bypass - 8 minute auto-shut off and the option to bypass it puts you behind the wheel, or rather, behind the iron! You can step away and come back to a hot iron that’s ready to keep going

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this 230ir and the 160ir?**
A: Hi Maryellen V. Little,
160IR - Has preset steam and temperature setting built in. No controls that you can set.
230IR - Has 4 temperature and 2 steam settings that you can set.
For more information, please visit the website for Reliable Corporation.  Hope this helps.
Regards,

**Q: Can this iron be used without steam or does it automatically start steaming when you hold the handle?**
A: You can disable the steam function by pressing a button above the handle!

**Q: Can you clean this iron with Faultless iron cleaner or the like?**
A: Hello Calisson,
We aren't familiar with the product, but was able to see the listing for it on Amazon.  The pictures of the product does not give any ingredients, so we cannot really advise as to its efficacy or safety on our iron, besides reading the reviews of others about it. It does seem to work for other people, so we would say that it should work the 240IR iron also.  
Regards,

**Q: Does this iron make a beeping sound the whole time its plugged in?**
A: No it does not - I leave mine on all day - so then the green light (or the right hand light) on the front lights up and stops blinking, I press the button right underneath (that indicates steam) and hold it down until it beeps twice.  The beeping stops after that and let's me iron all day.
