Design and Build Quality

The Usha EI 3710 has a classic yet modern design, with a clean, ergonomic form. The overall structure is lightweight, making it easy to handle, especially during long ironing sessions. One of the key highlights is its TEFLON-coated soleplate, which not only gives it a sleek look but also ensures smooth gliding across various types of fabrics.

The iron features :

A comfortable grip handle that provides firm control.

A well-positioned temperature control knob that’s easy to access and adjust.

Indicator light to signal when the iron is heating or ready to use.

A cord swivel design that provides flexibility and minimizes tangling.

Soleplate : Teflon Coating

The Teflon-coated soleplate is one of the most important features of this model. Teflon, a non-stick material, ensures that the iron glides smoothly without dragging or sticking to fabrics. It prevents accidental fabric burns and is especially useful for delicate materials like silk, nylon, or polyester.

Benefits of the Teflon soleplate:

Reduces friction during ironing.

Easy to clean.

Less chance of fabric sticking or scorching.

Even heat distribution for efficient ironing.

Power and Performance

Rated at 1000 Watts, the Usha EI 3710 strikes a balance between power consumption and effective performance. This wattage is suitable for regular home use, heating up quickly and maintaining consistent temperature during use.

Key performance aspects:

Quick heat-up time reduces waiting time.

Uniform heat helps in removing wrinkles effortlessly.

The thermostat responds well to temperature adjustments.

It may not match the performance of a higher-wattage steam iron for tough fabrics, but it’s perfect for everyday shirts, trousers, and light garments.

Temperature Control

The iron features an adjustable thermostat knob with fabric-specific settings. Users can choose the right temperature based on the fabric type – typically labeled for Cotton, Wool, Silk, Nylon, etc. The indicator light turns off when the desired temperature is reached, helping avoid overheating.

This feature ensures:

Safety for all fabric types.

Protection against scorching.

Customized ironing for delicate and heavy garments alike.

Safety Features

The Usha EI 3710 includes essential safety mechanisms to ensure user protection:

Thermal fuse : Protects the iron from overheating and electrical overload.

Auto shut-off (via thermostat) : Turns the heating element off once the desired temperature is reached.

These features extend the iron’s lifespan and reduce the risk of fire hazards or damage to clothes.

Ease of Use

This iron box is user-friendly, even for beginners:

Light weight (typically under 1 kg), reducing hand strain.

Simple controls without any digital complexity.

Cord flexibility with 360-degree swivel, allowing easy movement.

It’s especially suitable for people who iron frequently and need an appliance that’s convenient to handle.

Energy Efficiency

The 1000W rating is energy-efficient for home use. While it may take slightly longer to iron larger or thicker garments compared to higher wattage models, it consumes less electricity and is ideal for economical operation in homes where energy usage is a concern.

Maintenance

Thanks to the Teflon coating and straightforward design, cleaning and maintaining the iron is easy:

Wipe the soleplate with a soft, damp cloth after use.

Store it upright in a dry place to avoid moisture damage.

Avoid ironing over zippers or buttons directly to prevent scratches on the soleplate.
