Best For
Best for boutiques, tailoring shops and garment units that want a Pro-grade gravity-feed iron with an anti-shine Teflon shoe included — the SILTI Pro 96 Steam Iron with Bottle runs a 1600W element on the ST-96 chassis, priced at ₹3,699 with the water bottle in the box.
Key Features
- SILTI is sold under the Akari group in India; the “Pro” ST-96 chassis is the upgraded 1600W version of the base 1200W ST-96, not the same body as Silti’s own 300L line
- Comes with an anti-shine Teflon sole-plate shoe as standard — reduces scorch marks and shine on dark or synthetic fabric compared to a bare metal plate
- 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
Use Cases
- Boutiques: final-pressing dark or delicate garments without shine marks
- 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
Benefits
- The included Teflon anti-shine shoe is a real cost-saver — it’s usually a ₹150–280 add-on part on other bottle irons StitchPartner sells separately
- Continuous gravity-fed steam means fewer refill stoppages than small-tank irons, so more garments get pressed per hour
How the SILTI Pro 96 Compares to Other Irons
| Vs. a dry (non-steam) iron | Steam softens stubborn creases on cotton, linen and blends much faster; a dry iron costs less and needs no water but struggles on heavy fabric and pleats |
| Vs. a steam generator/boiler iron (e.g. StitchPartner’s 1600W 4L Boiler unit, ₹15,999) | Gravity feed is simpler, lighter and far lower-priced; a boiler unit gives stronger, more continuous steam for very high-volume factory lines but costs roughly 4x more |
| Vs. Silti Hanumeto 96 Steam Iron (same ST-96 chassis, ₹3,499) | Same base body; the Pro variant adds the anti-shine Teflon shoe and runs the higher 1600W element, for ₹200 more — Hanumeto 96 is the cheaper basic-shoe option on the same iron |
| Vs. Silti Pro 300L Steam Iron (1850W, ₹3,799) or JACK/Silver Star 300L | Different chassis entirely — the 300L-family irons run a bigger bottle and higher wattage (1450–1850W); the ST-96 Pro is the lighter, slightly lower-wattage option built around the included Teflon shoe rather than raw power |

How To Use
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 or synthetic fabric, the Teflon shoe already fitted lets you skip a separate press cloth in most cases. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Teflon anti-shine shoe actually do, and do I still need a press cloth?
The Teflon shoe sits over the metal sole plate and stops direct metal-on-fabric contact, which is what usually causes shine marks or scorching on dark, synthetic or delicate fabric. It removes the need for a separate press cloth on most everyday pressing, though very heat-sensitive fabric (silk, some synthetics) still presses safer at a lower heat setting regardless.
What’s the difference between this and the Silti Hanumeto 96 Steam Iron StitchPartner also sells?
Both run on the same ST-96 gravity-feed body. This Pro variant adds the anti-shine Teflon shoe as standard and runs the higher 1600W element, for ₹200 more than the Hanumeto 96 (₹3,499). If you don’t need the Teflon shoe and want the lowest entry price on this chassis, Hanumeto 96 is the one to pick instead.
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 Pro is a separate, slightly lighter body built around the standard-fit Teflon shoe. Either works for daily boutique or tailoring use; pick 300L if raw steam output matters most, ST-96 Pro if the anti-shine shoe and slightly lower weight matter more.
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 Pro 96 Steam Iron cost, and is COD available?
It’s priced at ₹3,699 (MRP ₹5,000) on StitchPartner, with the water bottle and Teflon shoe included, cash-on-delivery, and delivery across India. Other sellers list the base (non-Pro) 1200W ST-96 for less and the Pro 1600W version at comparable prices, so check whether the Teflon shoe and bottle are actually bundled before comparing on price alone.
