Tefal Express Power Steam Generator Iron Review

The Tefal Express Power Steam Generator Iron is a high performance and easy to use steam generator iron with the ability to quickly and efficiently remove creases, often with only a single pass. It's specifically designed to not require manual temperature adjustments. Therefore, you can iron silk straight after denim or linen and achieve perfect results. Such a feature eliminates the need for pre-sorting washing beforehand.

The performance is particularly impressive. There are two slightly different modes, but they are both comparable. The continuous steam output is 120-130g per minute, with a boost of 400-460g per minute, and a pressure of between 6.2 and 6.8 bar. Such high numbers will wipe away creases and wrinkles with ease. The iron has a special soleplate which further enhances its performance, but more on that later.

Specification

We now take a look at the features:

• Special Soleplate - The soleplate (underneath the iron) is one of Tefal's innovative creations. It's designed to provide an effortless glide. It has more active steam holes than normal which further enhance its performance. As a bonus, the catalytic coating keeps itself clean over time.
• High Output - As mentioned above, there are two slightly different models. The output is 120-130g per minute, with a 400-460g per minute boost and 6.2-6.8 bar of pressure. In either case, these settings will suffice for most domestic purposes.
• Automatic Temperature - The iron handles temperature adjustment automatically. Therefore, you can change from denim to silk and back to denim without causing burns. This means that you can save time by not pre-sorting laundry.
• Limescale Collector - Limescale is collected at a faster rate than previous models. This helps ensure that the product's lifespan is increased, as well as providing better results.
• Quiet - The iron has been specifically designed to keep noise to a minimum. You can therefore watch TV or listen to the radio whilst ironing.
• Large Water Tank - The water tank is large with a total capacity of 1.8 litres. Having a large water tank has the advantage that you can iron for long periods of time without having to refill.
