Tefal FV4040 Ultraglide Steam Iron, 2400 W, Durilium Technology

I left my partner to order me a new iron and was a little concerned that he was not willing to spend a lot of money on it. However, it may be the cheapest iron I've ever owned, but it is the best iron I've ever owned. Give him his due, he did do his research and this iron did have the best reviews in it's price range and I can see why. It is lightweight, which I thought meant it wouldn't iron as well however it irons beautifully. Heats up very quickly and irons clothes and bedding with ease. It's easy to use and to be my delight, when I have it on high steam it doesn't dribble water out everywhere which my past irons have done.

Bought another iron and had to return it . Then replaced it with this Tefal iron. Very happy with this iron as it has a very non stick surface and does not drag on the material when ironing Brilliant will always buy Tefal in future

I was very pleased to find this iron as an excellent replacement for my previous Tefal ultraglide which I've had for over 10 years. It is reasonably lightweight, heats up quickly and the difference in the cool and hot settings is noticeable. Water tank is quite large so even with steam facility you don't have to refill often during a huge ironing session. The flex is very long which would be helpful if your plug socket isn't as close as you would like it to be. Great iron at a very good price.

Excellent iron. Easy to use and does a great job. It is light weight yet heavy enough to get all the wrinkles out. Good value too.

I have used Tefal irons for decades. My last one gave up the ghost after 15 years. I don't even look at other brands now. It's a iron and does the job. Sole plate newer technology means it glides effortlessly which is nice. The cord could do with being a little longer if I'm honest but expect it's industry standard these days like most things. I never use steam which I know reduces the life of any iron however I still think they are the best irons out there. I did weigh it and it's slightly heavier than previous models but it's still comparable with other brands. Personal choice I'm sure but I still recommend them.
