Why the Snail Works

Serious Steam on Demand

4.5 bar pressure and up to 220 g/min output cuts through creases domestic irons can’t touch — faster pressing, less effort.

External Solenoid Access

Steam flow is controlled via an externally mounted solenoid, making everyday adjustment and long-term servicing straightforward.

Safety by Design

Overpressure release, thermostat control, pressure switch, and a low-water warning light all work together to keep the operator safe.

Teflon Iron Shoe Included

The included Teflon shoe reduces the risk of scorching and shine on delicate fabrics, protecting both garments and your reputation.

Compact Commercial Footprint

Commercial output without a commercial-sized unit — 41×30×32 cm means it fits wherever the work is, from small service rooms to busy dry cleaners.

Stainless Steel Boiler & Fittings

Italian-built with a stainless steel boiler and durable steel outer body — engineered to handle daily use for years, not months.

Steam Boiler at a Glance

The 1.7 litre boiler heats quickly and delivers consistent pressure throughout the session. At mid steam settings, a full tank gives around 3 hours of continuous use — enough for a solid half-day run. Need maximum output for tougher items? Expect around 1–2 hours per fill.

When it’s time to refill, the Snail is typically back in action within 5–10 minutes — keeping your workflow moving rather than waiting around.

Boiler Capacity 1.7L

Steam Pressure 4.5 Bar

Steam Output 0 – 220 g/min

Runtime (mid steam) ~3 Hours

Reheat After Refill 5–10 mins

Why Upgrade from a Domestic Steam Iron?

Much More Powerful Steam

With up to 220g of steam per minute and 4.5 bar pressure, the Snail removes heavy creases much faster than domestic steam generator irons.

Designed for Daily Use

Unlike domestic appliances, the Snail is built for repeated daily use by businesses where reliability matters.

Professional Build Quality

Italian engineering, stainless steel boiler and heavy-duty components provide a much longer service life than consumer equipment.

Excellent Spare Parts Availability

Comel boilers remain repairable for many years, with replacement parts readily available should they ever be required.

Is this suitable for daily use in a small commercial laundry or ironing service?

Yes, it is designed for repeated professional use where a domestic iron is no longer sufficient. Its compact boiler, durable stainless-steel construction and 4.5 bar steam pressure make it well suited to care homes, guesthouses, alteration businesses, dry cleaners and small linen rooms. It is best for businesses needing strong steam finishing without the footprint of a larger boiler system.

How much steam performance does it provide for stubborn creases?

The unit delivers variable steam output from 0 to 220 g/min at 4.5 bar pressure. This gives the operator the power to work through heavier creases more effectively than a typical domestic steam generator iron, while reducing steam flow for lighter items. Variable output is useful when finishing a mixed workload of linen, uniforms and garments.

How long can the boiler run before it needs refilling?

A full 1.7-litre boiler provides around three hours of use at mid steam settings. At maximum steam output, expect approximately one to two hours per fill, depending on how continuously steam is used. Once refilled, the boiler typically reheats in five to ten minutes, helping smaller operations plan pressing work with limited interruption.

What electrical supply and workspace are required?

The equipment runs from a standard 240V UK 3-pin socket, with the plug included, and has a total operating power of 1800W. Its boiler measures 41 × 30 × 32 cm, so it can fit into a service room, laundry area or pressing station with suitable heat-safe working space. The supplied information does not specify any special three-phase electrical requirement.

What is included to protect delicate fabrics and support safe operation?

The package includes a Teflon iron shoe, which helps reduce the risk of scorching or shine when pressing delicate fabrics. A heat-proof silicone mat provides a safe place to rest the iron between passes, while the cable holder and funnel help keep the workspace organised during use and refilling. Built-in safeguards include a low-water warning light, thermostat control, pressure switch and overpressure release valve.
