Tefal Ultimate Pure 3000W Steam Iron, Durilium Soleplate, Anti-Scale

Best iron so far we bought. Good quality and does the job. Steam is very powerful, no need to give additional pressure when ironing linen and cotton clothes 10/10

This is far better than other irons due to the scale remover and the way the iron runs over clothes. It has some proprietary film over an alloy that makes it glide smoothly and not stick like other irons. Well worth the money as it was on offer from £130 to £63. I'll take that type of deal all day long.

Iron itself is quite heavy without water so if you prefer a light weight Iron this isn't for you. The weight is OK for myself & find it great for ironing jeans & bedding. I like the continuous steam function & not having to keep tour fingers on the trigger as with some tefal irons. The steam boost is also a plus for those stubborn creases.. This Iron has a 3 meter long cable which I love as my socket is not near ironing board. This Iron is no good for small items as you can't always see the item due to the size of it. I found the back end of the Iron restrics my vision also due to its size where the cable wraps around when not in use. If water is left in the iron, & like me your Iron is permanently out don't lie it flat or else all the water escapes when cold & unplugged. I do like the Iron but struggled with the cable as I'm used to tefals cordless iron.

Fantastic iron. Does everything you expect with ease. 10/10

Within 2 weeks of using this iron I had noticed it was staining my clothes particularly when using the steam boost button so I have stopped using this. You have to let the iron stand for a lot longer than when the light goes out otherwise it will dump water on your clothes when you start to iron. During normal use it does occasionally dump clean water which does evaporate. I bought this after owning another Tefal which lasted a good 6 years without any issues, well until it stopped working! I picked a high priced iron assuming it will be of even better quality and I stuck with Tefal since I had never experienced issues. To be clear, I have ALWAYS used straight tap water in my irons for the past 20 years. After 8 weeks of perseverance and throwing work shirts straight back in the laundry basket I decided to get in touch with Tefal Customer Service and I was deeply disappointed by their answers. This iron in particular boasts a calc filter, something I havent had before. With the first issues of staining clothes, I pulled this out to inspect (even though the calc clean light hadnt come on) it had a few deposits but nothing much. I have extracted these responses from Tefals email: "We only recommend that untreated tap water be used in all of our generators. ; if you know you live in a hard water area the untreated tap water can be mixed 50/50 with either distilled or demineralised water but there needs to be at least a 50% concentration of untreated tap water used. Do not use pure demineralised water, de-ionised water or rain water as these may damage the iron. These types of water contain organic waste, mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your generator. The boiler must be rinsed out after every 10 uses or more frequently if your water is very hard. An iron can act a bit like a vacuum cleaner on clothes and suck up soap deposits from fabric. It's essential therefore that clothes are thoroughly rinsed before ironing. If these are not removed by washing they may appear later out of the soleplate in the form of small brown or white spots or streaks on your linen. Please see the video below on how to descale your iron .You need to descale your iron every after 10 uses" Had all these points been made clear at purchase I think a lot of people would be put off. I did respond and tell them that in over 20 years I had never had to conduct timely maintenance on my iron every 10 uses. This is ridiculous. Tefal responded with: Do not hesitate to let us know if you carried out the above procedure and still experience the fault so we can arrange for a collection and repair. Pictures attached. The ironing board showing weeks of dried deposits. Dont waste your money, there is no advanced technology in these expensive irons. Thoroughly disappointed !!

I bought this after my Tefal steam generator iron which I have used and loved for 10 years. The new tefal generators do not have temperature control anymore and you can not rest some on its back. I don’t know why they change good things . There are few ones ( SV6140 or SV6131) that that have temperature control but they have the worst reviews. Therefore I decided to go with this one because prefer to control temperature. Very happy. It irons just like my ex steam generator iron or maybe better. The only con is it is heavy. It is about 400- 500 gr heavier than a regular iron ın the market.

I decided to invest in this iron as the last (much cheaper) iron I bought only lasted 15 months. I don't do a tremendous amount of ironing but I do a lot of sewing so the iron does get switched on and off a lot. This is a lovely looking (purple!) substantial iron and on the small bit of ironing I have done it worked well and I especially liked the steam boost feature. My only criticism is that it is quite heavy but I am sure I will get used to this!

I haven’t used my new iron yet but it is set up and ready to go! It is very sturdy (a little heavy) but I can deal with that. All the features seem straightforward and it has a large water tank. The great thing is it is non stick which is a blessing as I have destroyed quite a few sole plates in my time! Thought I’d treat myself and I’m sure it’s well worth the money, can’t wait to use and once the rain stops I’ll be testing it out. Many thanks for prompt delivery too 😊😊

This iron has a different plug to Australian plug access
