Tefal Fasteo Review

The Tefal Fasteo Steam Generator Iron is a powerful turbo steam iron which is perfect for tackling difficult and particularly stubborn creases. Its high pressure, high steam output allows steam to penetrate straight into the heart of material fibres, eliminating creases, and leaving clothes fully refreshed. It's available in three colours - Dark Blue & White, Blue & White and Dark Blue & Black. Each of these models has slightly different steam boosts.

The Fasteo has a fairly comprehensive feature list. It has a continuous steam output of 100g, with a steam boost between 180g and 220g depending on the model, and between 5.2 and 5.5 bar of pressure. One feature which is particularly useful is the anti-scale cartridge. It purifies water and gives the iron a longer lifespan than it would otherwise have. For a continuous and uninterrupted iron, there's a large 1.2 litre water tank.

Specification

We now take a look at the features in more detail:

• High Performance Output - All three models provide 100g of continuous steam output per minute. They have somewhat different steam boosts per minute, however, ranging between 180g and 220g. The pressure pump differs slightly too, with a maximum between 5.2 and 5.5 bar.
• Quick Heat Up - The iron achieves a quick heat up - only 2 minutes.
• Vertical Steam - The iron is capable of operating vertically. This is especially useful for ironing curtains without taking them down. It's also useful for ironing hanging clothes, and bed sheets without removing them.
• Large Water Tank - The iron has a large 1.2 litre water tank. It allows for more time to be spent ironing, and less time wasted refilling.
• Automatic Switch Off - The iron will automatically switch off if it's left idle for too long. It will switch off after 8 minutes of inactivity if it's left on its heel, and 30 seconds if it's resting on its soleplate.
• Anti-Scale - The anti-scale system purifies the water which ensures the iron's longevity.
• Cord Length - The steam cord is 1.6m in length.
• Steam Cord Compartment - There's a handy storage compartment for the steam cord.
