Silti Hanumeto 96 Steam Iron

के लिए सर्वश्रेष्ठ

Best for boutiques, tailoring shops and garment units that want the entry-level SILTI gravity-feed steam iron on the ST-96 chassis, without paying for the anti-shine Teflon shoe — the Silti Hanumeto 96 Steam Iron runs a 1200W element on the same body as StitchPartner’s SILTI Pro 96, priced at ₹3,499 with the water bottle included.

प्रमुख विशेषताऐं

• SILTI is sold under the Akari group in India; this Hanumeto 96 is the base ST-96 chassis — the same body used on StitchPartner’s SILTI Pro 96, minus the Teflon anti-shine shoe and at the lower 1200W rating
• Bare metal sole plate — no anti-shine shoe fitted, keeping the entry price ₹200 below the Pro 96 variant
• Gravity-feed design: an elevated water bottle feeds the iron continuously, no stopping to refill a small tank
• Sturdy build for daily, multi-hour commercial use on cotton, linen and blended fabric

उपयोग के मामले

• बुटीक: everyday pressing of cotton and linen garments where an anti-shine shoe isn’t essential
• Tailoring shops: daily seam, hem and collar pressing
• Small garment factories: in-line pressing of cotton, linen and blended-fabric runs
• Laundry & dry-cleaning outlets: high-volume, back-to-back pressing on a budget

फ़ायदे

• Lowest entry price on the ST-96 chassis — same gravity-feed body as the Pro 96, for buyers who don’t need the Teflon shoe or the extra 400W
• Continuous gravity-fed steam means fewer refill stoppages than small-tank irons, so more garments get pressed per hour

How the Silti Hanumeto 96 Compares to Other Irons

विशेष विवरण

का उपयोग कैसे करें

First, fill the water bottle with clean or de-mineralised water and hang it on a raised hook, above the iron so gravity feeds the steam. Next, plug in and let the sole plate heat for a minute or two before turning on the steam. Then, press cotton, linen and blended fabrics directly; on dark, synthetic or delicate fabric, use a press cloth or lower heat since this variant doesn’t have the anti-shine Teflon shoe fitted. Finally, switch off, let it cool, and drain the bottle at day’s end — standing hard water is the main reason steam holes clog over time.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्नों

What’s the difference between this and the SILTI Pro 96 Steam Iron StitchPartner also sells?

Both run on the same ST-96 gravity-feed body. This Hanumeto 96 has a bare sole plate at 1200W and costs ₹200 less; the Pro 96 adds the anti-shine Teflon shoe as standard and runs the higher 1600W element for ₹3,699. If you press mostly cotton and linen and don’t need the anti-shine shoe, this is the lower-cost pick on the same chassis.

Will this iron leave shine marks on dark or synthetic fabric without the Teflon shoe?

It can, the same way any bare-sole-plate iron can on dark or synthetic material — direct metal-on-fabric contact at high heat is what causes shine or scorching. Using a press cloth or a lower heat setting on such fabric avoids this; if you press a lot of dark/synthetic garments, the SILTI Pro 96 with its built-in Teflon shoe removes the need for a press cloth on most jobs.

Is this the same iron as StitchPartner’s 300L-family steam irons (JACK, Silver Star, Silti Pro 300L)?

No — different chassis. The 300L-family irons use a larger bottle and run higher wattage (1450–1850W); this ST-96 is a separate, lighter body at a lower price point, built for everyday boutique or tailoring loads rather than the heaviest factory volumes.

Can I use ordinary tap water in this steam iron?

You can, but hard tap water leaves mineral deposits inside the steam holes over months of daily use, eventually reducing steam flow. Using de-mineralised or filtered water, and draining the bottle at the end of each working day, keeps the steam holes clear for much longer — this is the single biggest factor in how long a gravity-feed iron lasts.

How much does the Silti Hanumeto 96 Steam Iron cost, and is COD available?

It’s priced at ₹3,499 (MRP ₹4,800) on StitchPartner, with the water bottle included, cash-on-delivery, and delivery across India. Other sellers list ST-96/Hanumeto variants anywhere from around ₹1,900 to ₹4,500 depending on wattage and whether a Teflon shoe is bundled, so check what’s actually included before comparing on price alone.
