Abstract
An ironing device includes a base, a handle moveable relative to the base, and a resilient member biasing the handle in an upper position and allowing movement of the handle upon exertion of a force thereon by a user towards a lower position. Further, a steam controller is operatively connected to the handle such that release of steam of the ironing device is intuitively controlled by the force exerted on the handle by the user. A console is connected with the base and is provided with at least one operating button. The handle includes a recess for accommodating the console, where the console and the handle are configured so that an operating button is operable with the same hand that holds the handle.
