Tefal Liberty Steam Generator Review

The Tefal Liberty Steam Generator Iron is a compact steam generator which operates much faster than traditional steam irons. It's particularly good at tackling tough creases on all fabrics, including denim. It has a well designed soleplate - ceramic to facilitate a smooth glide, and holes at the ends to allow for a large steam distribution.

One feature of particular interest is the filter cartridge purification system. It collects limescale and provides the iron with increased longevity. The continuous steam output per minute is 120g, with a 190g boost and a high 5.4 bar pressure pump. The iron heats up within 2 minutes. There's also an Eco mode which reduces the energy consumption by up to 20%.

• High Output - The standard steam output is 120g per minute. There is a boost button which ups this to 190g per minute. The maximum pressure of the pump is a large 5.4 bar. The Eco mode button reduces the energy consumption by up to 20%. It's best used when the creases aren't too tough.
• Vertical Steaming - A vertical steam is possible using this iron. This is ideal for ironing creases out of curtains without having to take them down. A huge time and effort saver here.
• Large Water Tank - The extra large 1.5 litre water tank allows you to focus more time on ironing, and less time on refilling.
• Automatic Shut Off - If left idle, the iron will automatically switch itself off. This is a basic safety feature.
• Steam Cord - The steam cord is 1.6m long. There's an integrated place to store it.
