Tefal Maestro FV1848 Steam Iron Review

The Tefal Maestro Steam Iron is a powerful steam iron which is designed for ideal results. It has 2400W of power which results in a fast heat up time, allowing you to get on with the ironing quickly. It has an ergonomic design meaning it's comfortable and convenient to use. The steam boost trigger is particularly comfortable to use, even after extended periods of time. The soft grip handle is comfortable to hold, meaning the iron can be used for extended lengths of time without issue.

In terms of performance, the iron has a continuous steam output of up to 40g per minute. This is perfectly adequate for freshening up garments and removing most creases. To tackle particularly tough creases, especially in more hard-wearing fabrics such as denim, there's a steam boost of 110g per minute. The steam boost is also useful for vertical ironing.

• Ergonomic Design - The iron is designed for convenience. It's easy to grip with a soft handle, and a comfortable boost trigger.

• Soleplate - The soleplate is made from stainless steel. Stainless steel soleplates have the advantage of being better able to press-in sharp creases.
• Steam and Power Output - As mentioned above, the continuous steam output is 40g per minute, and the steam shot boost outputs at 110g per minute. These numbers are sufficient for most day to day creases, from soft materials such as silk, to tougher and more hard-wearing materials such as denim. The iron's power output is 2400W.
