“Top iron. You press to turn it on and in a few seconds, you start. It collects limescale, so it stays clean. It has a motion sensor, and as soon as you move it, it releases steam, and when you stop, it stops. It is very lightweight. The temperature sensor is excellent. We simply leave it on the ironing board (and if it stays there for a long time, it also turns off to prevent any accidents), and we are not afraid of it burning. Whatever clothes you have underneath, it "magically" knows what to do to prevent burning. It significantly speeds up household ironing.”

“The iron is very good, excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We highly recommend it! Very lightweight iron, approximately 800 grams! It has never stuck to clothes or prints, nor has its plate ever gotten dirty. It automatically detects the quality of each garment and adjusts the temperature on its own. After about 4-5 ironing sessions over 7-8 hours of use, it only indicated on its own to clean the filter-boiler!!!”

“Excellent product worth every euro. It made ironing much, much easier to the point that I threw away the old (simple) iron the same day! Also, it is made in France with impeccable build quality and a guarantee that you will find cheap spare parts for the next 15 years. I have confirmed this from a friend who has a Tefal since 2007 and last year a valve broke which cost him €13!”
