Tefal Ultimate Pure Steam Iron Review

The Tefal Ultimate Pure Steam Iron is a high performing steam iron. There are two models - Black & Gold (pictured) and Purple & Black. It has patented MicroScale filter technology which captures small limescale particles, removing them from the water and outputting pure steam. You therefore don't need to worry about calcium stains on your clothes.

The two models have slightly different steam outputs and power. The Purple & Black model has a steam output of 55g per minute, a steam boost of 240g per minute and a power of 3000W. The Black & Gold model has higher stats - 60g per minute of continuous steam, a 260g per minute steam boost and a power of 3100W. The power cord is 3 metres long, which should be sufficient for most uses.

Specification

We now take a more detailed look at the features:

• Soleplate - The iron has a Durilium soleplate. Durilium is Tefal's speciality. It's essentially a soleplate with holes on the tip, side and centre, allowing for a more even distribution of steam for a more consistent and thorough iron. It also works well over buttons and zips, minimising resistance with its enamel coating.
• Patented 2-in-1 Micro-Calc Filter - As mentioned above, this steam iron utilises a special filter designed to remove scale particles and give you pure steam. This reduces the build up of limescale and therefore maintains the iron's performance and ensures that it has a long operational lifespan.
• Output - The continuous steam output is 55-60g per minute depending on the exact model. The steam boost is 240-260g per minute. The power is either 3000W or 3100W.
• Long Cable - The power cable is 3 metres long.

Summary

Overall, the Tefal Ultimate Pure Steam Iron is a good product. Its most prominent features are its soleplate and filtration system. The soleplate is well designed, and facilitates a smooth glide, removing creases from both delicate and tough fabrics without issue. The filtration system removes tiny particles of limescale, resulting in pure steam and therefore a better performing iron. We rate the Tefal Ultimate Pure Steam Iron 4.5 out of 5 stars.
