Tefal Pro Express Ultimate Review

The Tefal Pro Express Ultimate High Pressure Steam Generator Iron is a lightweight and powerful steam generator iron by the innovative home appliance company Tefal. It's available in three colours, each with slightly different steam outputs, boosts and pressure ratings. The colour schemes are Black, Light Blue and Dark Blue. In all three cases, the buttons are conveniently located on the handle for easy access.

The standard steam output is 120-180g per minute depending on the model, with a steam boost of 500-600g. The pressure setting is 8 bar on two of the models, and 7.5 bar on the other. The water tank is an extra large 1.9 litres. The "Durilium Airglide Autoclean" soleplate is a complex way of stating that it provides an easy glide and is stain resistant. There are four pre-set temperature options - Eco, Delicate, Normal and Max.
