The invention is directed to a steam iron with a water reservoir for the supply of water to an evaporation chamber in which the fed water is convertible into steam and which is connectable to at least one first and one second steam discharge port (,), with a heating element (,) for heating both the evaporation chamber and a soleplate (,), said soleplate having an ironing surface (,) and a nose (,) at its forward end when viewed in the direction of movement, and said first steam discharge port (,) being arranged in such close proximity to the iron's nose (,) that the steam propagates in the area adjacent to the iron's nose (,). The first and the second steam discharge port (,) are formed in the soleplate (,) such as to be at a height of less than 10 mm relative to the ironing surface (,). Further, the first and the second steam discharge port (,) are in balanced pressure communication with each other. Provision is made for distinct steaming and drying zones.

An electrically operated hand mixer includes processing tools drivable by an electric motor for processing foods, and a housing accommodating the electric motor. A handle for manipulating the hand mixer is provided on the housing and extends substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the processing tools, wherein a connecting cable extends from the housing at the end remote from the processing tools and is swivellably guided in an antikink joint adapted to be swung from the housing. A winding-up arrangement is provided on the housing permitting winding the connecting cable onto the appliance. The antikink joint additionally serves as the winding-up arrangement in conjunction with a snap-in locking arrangement which, in a fixed position, along with the winding-up arrangement, permits guiding the connecting cable during the winding-up action. A reliable winding-up arrangement is achieved thereby in a simple manner.
