Tefal Ultraglide Steam Iron, 210 g/min Steam Boost, 50 g/min Continuous Steam, 250 ml Water Tank, 2800W Power, Non-Stick Durilium Soleplate, Auto Off, Anti-drip, Anti-Scale, Grey & Purple, FV5872

For three years we have struggled with an iron which cost half the price of this Tefal ( it was one of the few available during Covid) as it spat, belched lime scale and spewed water everywhere whilst failing to get the creases out - of anything.According to our resident ‘ironing fairy’ the transition to the Tefal was like changing up from a moped to a Harley Davidson - firm, assured ironing with plenty of steam. Heats up and cools down quickly - excellent all round performance and a good medium weight iron.AND NOW FOR THE ONE STUPID TEFAL MISTAKE - it’s virtually IMPOSSIBLY to see how much water you’ve put in the iron - the reservoir is made of smoked plastic - DOH!! Tefal are not alone in doing this, but whoever came up with this little design feature had clearly never tried to fill an iron.

This 2800W iron heats up fast and delivers 50g/min continuous steam for excellent results in no time, with a powerful 210g/min boost to tackle tough creases.Featuring vertical steaming that’s great for smoothing out hanging garments like suits or getting creases out of curtains.Like the removable scale collector that ensures lasting steam performance for easy ironing.The long power lead is a nice feature as it removes the need for me to use an extension lead.Enhanced safety turns off automatically if left unattended after 8mins on heel/30secs on soleplate.Overall a good value, quality steam iron.A little surprised there was no water jug/container provided for filling the iron. Not really a problem as have one anyway.

Great iron. Simple to use. Ideal weight at 1.5kg. Good steam boost function . Perfect for ironing clothes and garments - steam tank will last about 45min. If you’re doing bed sheets et , then you will need a steam generator.

Really pleased with iron. Good weight, steam, cord length. Noticeable improvement from previous tefal iron and great price at under £40.

So disappointed! Over 22 years of buying Tefal mid to top range cost of steam irons. This is the worst. No continuous steam. Lever doesn’t stay on the continuous steam positioning. Don’t know if this is a dud iron or if we’re receiving the worst of tefal iron products in the uk. This is by far not a cheap iron. I know my Tefal irons after so many years and this is extremely poor. I moved house within days of receiving this iron otherwise I would have returned it! What should have been an easy iron with good steam output is not. It’s weighted but doesn’t offer that benefit because the spluttering water wets the clothes & leaves water marks on some fabrics. It’s not easy to use ( lack of control steam). Temp wise it’s ok.

Best iron we have ever bought ,glides over all my drycell tee shirts without sticking,wich we had bought this ages ago

I very nearly sent this iron back, because the instructions made no sense, and I couldn't work out how to get steam. However after searching online (and magnifying the icons on the iron using my phone!) I realised that pushing the knob to the far left was 'steam', and the central position was 'no steam' (I still don't know what the far right position does!). It works well enough - I wanted one with a good cleaner function as we live in a hard water area. The hassle of sending this one back and finding a better one at a similar price (given that non of the irons on Amazon are without issues) was too great, so I've started using it. It's OK- doesn't seem to like silky nylon that much (rucks it up) but otherwise OK. However I do hope Tefal will do something to improve the instructions!

Just got and the manual is a joke. Looks like a 25th generation photocopy and consists of very poor diagrams.Seems to do the job.
