Surya Heritage Dry Iron

Straightforward heat, honest price

This is the iron for buyers who want heat, a dial and nothing to think about — the same brief as the Havells Aquilla, executed by Surya Roshni, the Indian lighting and appliances maker. The differences are small and honest: a grey shockproof body instead of orange, a slightly lighter build in the 500-to-700-gram range, and a cord somewhere between one and a half and two metres depending on the batch. The non-stick soleplate is the important shared trait — synthetic fabrics iron without sticking or shining at moderate settings.
