Tefal Freemove Air Cordless Steam Iron Review

The Tefal Freemove Air Cordless Steam Iron is a cordless steam iron with plenty of power. Unlike most irons, this one has a cordless design, instead drawing its heat from a base. The process is very easy. Simply "charge" the iron for 11 seconds on the base, remove it for 25 seconds of ironing time, place it back on the base, change to the next garment/item, and repeat. There's a handy green light to indicate that the iron is ready to go.

So far as the base goes, it has been ergonomically designed to allow for easy placing and removal of the iron. It's very intuitive, allowing the iron to slide in and out using natural movement. The soleplate is made from ceramic, and facilitates a smooth and speedy glide. We like the iron's anti-drip design which reduces the common issue of water droplets staining. We also like the anti-scale feature which prevents limescale from building up.

Specification

Let's take a more detailed look at the features:

• Lightweight - The iron is lightweight, therefore allowing comfortable use.
• Cordless - As mentioned above, the iron itself is cordless, instead getting power from a base. A cordless iron is advantageous as it gives you more control over the directions and angles that you can iron. Each "charge" on the base gives about 25 seconds of ironing time. Best performance is achieved by "charging" the iron in between clothing items.
• Base Design - The base has an ergonomic design which means that it's comfortable and intuitive to use. The iron simply slides into place without any fiddling required. It's a completely natural movement.
• Soleplate - The ceramic soleplate provides a smooth glide, resisting snagging. It allows you to iron at speed, breezing through piles of washing in no time.
• Water Tank - The water tank has a large 250ml capacity. It allows for more time spent ironing and less time spent refilling.
• Anti-Drip - The iron is designed to not leak water droplets. This results in much fewer water mark stains.
• Anti-Scale - The in-built anti-scale feature prevents the build up of limescale, therefore maintaining the iron's performance over time. It also increases the lifespan of the iron.
