Built for Commercial Use
Designed for regular professional workloads of approximately 4-8 hours per day rather than occasional domestic ironing.
Practical Blowdown Valve
The boiler can be flushed through the blowdown valve, helping simplify routine maintenance and reduce the build-up of scale and sediment.

Professional Steam Performance
A Commercial Boiler Built for the Working Day
The Snail 3.5 is designed for operators who need more capacity and endurance than a domestic steam generator can provide. Its large boiler reduces the frequency of refilling and provides consistent steam for demanding professional ironing.
At typical working levels, many operators achieve approximately 3-5 hours of use between fills. Actual runtime will vary according to the steam setting, fabric type and how continuously the iron is used.
A built-in blowdown valve allows the boiler to be flushed as part of routine maintenance, helping remove sediment and making regular boiler care easier.
