I Love It, It replaces my old tefal and is even better than the original one

+ very powerfull steam jet, glides over all materials. large water tank you can get through a large load without having to refill I no longer have piles of ironing

- a bit pricey but worth every penny the Iron is so good you wont want your kids using it you will have to buy a cheaper one just for them.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Happy customer”

+ It is brilliant, I had a tefal Iron before which was similar in excellence too, but was quite old and I wanted a new one so I told my husband that it was broken so I could get a new one. I love it (how sad). Much improved cable and flex storage and overall features have been upgraded. I would recommend this Iron to anyone who can afford it. Good results on clothes, and quick too.

- A little expensive for completing a houshold chore but if it lasts as long as my old one I will be a very happy person.

Jane, Arrochar

+ This takes the pain out of ironing. This iron is so light and easy to use it whizzes through the pile of ironing quickly and makes light work of even linen items. The large water tank ensures a long lasting supply of steam and the ability to steam upright for eg curtains or longer items of clothing is brilliant. I can't fault this iron at all and would recommend it highly. It is my second one and I would not think of changing back to a small iron. In fact when I do use one when I've stayed with friends it is a shock how heavy and slow they are.

- The only thing I would change on this machine is the placing of the anti-calc valve. The new clever design for storing the cable between the base steamer and the actual iron can get caught around the valve and may break it. Other than that I can't fault this iron at all.

Pat, Edinburgh , “Likes an easy life.”

+ Water container doesn't need refilling very often: quick to heat up, easy to refill container when necessary irons well even very creased garments.

- Slightly heavy and find the cord tends to get slightly in the way when ironing

+ i love how hot it is, and how i can press clothes to prefection. I also love the fact it turns it self off when i leave it.

- The only negative i have about this iron is the size as i have little cupboard space to store it so it remains set out in my utility room.

+ If you are moving from a normal iron to a steam generator this will blow your socks off.
But if you are used to using a steam generator it may not. It is an excellent iron, although
pricey. And definitely cuts your ironing time in half, if not less. Base unit takes loads of
water, no need to refill water tank

- Doesn't have the cord rewind that the turbo model up has, and the ironing is not as
crease free as the turbo model. The base unit is bulky. the iron doesn't fit in the stand
on my ironing board.
If you can afford it, go for the next model up, the Steam Turbo.

Sam, London , “Busy mum or dad” More like this »

+ Compared to a normal iron this iron is great. It irons clothes in half the time. It is easy to use and you do not need to fill up the water tank often as it is so big.

- The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have a retractable cable and plug. Apart from that it is perfect.
