Tefal ProExpress Protect Steam Generator Iron, 7.5 Bar, Blue and White | 560 g/min Steam Boost, 135 g/min Continuous Steam, 1.8L Tank, Stainless Steel Soleplate, Anti-Drip, GV9224

I’ve had this iron nearly 2 years now and it’s a workhorse, never fails. I tried a nicer looking Philips iron before this but, having had a Tefal steam generator iron previously, the Philips was no match and was returned for this iron. It’s heavy when attached to the base and large so takes quite a bit of kitchen cabinet space. When the iron and base are separated, the hand held part is still reasonably heavy (when compared to the Philips), but, the weight helps with the pressing of creases. The steam on this iron is amazing, it just keeps coming and you can steam vertically which is great for relaxing stubborn creases out of shirts. The steam generated on this is so good that I only have to iron my children’s t-shirts on one side and, for hard to press cargo shorts and trousers, I hang them up and steam them upright, which makes light work of the task. It’s easy to clean and the anti-limescale filter is easily accessed and cleaned - just be careful that the iron has fully cooled, any built up pressure has been lost and it’s on the drained board when you unscrew it, as it is full of water. In summary, a fantastic iron, pricey for an iron but, in my opinion, well worth the investment. I bought it on the ‘5 month payment’ option, without interest. Makes it easier on the wallet.

Great iron for everyday use. It heats up quickly, glides smoothly over fabrics, and removes wrinkles with ease. Lightweight, easy to handle, and offers excellent value for the price. Highly recommended!

This is one of the best of the best iron i have ever used. I am happy i done my research on this before purchasing it. It has not disappointed me at all. Iv recommended it to family and friends. Temperature level is the same for all types of material. No need to stress over changing temperature. It removes creases on delicate fabric to tough denim fabric on the same heat level without any trouble. The ironing has reduced dramatically in time and with the correct ironing cover for the ironing board, most clothes are ironed on one side and dont need to be ironed on the other side. I would say before ironing turn the iron on for at least 2/3 minutes so it heats up properly. This will prevent it from spitting water out. Once its fully heated it wont spit. The iron itself is light in weight which is easy on the hand arm and shoulder. But the base is heavy. It gets even heavier when it has water in the tank. Due to it being heavy and not easy to move around i have bought the iron a trolley from ikea (NISSAFORS) to store it and move it about with ease. It is easy to store the cord, it wraps around the iron. I can see this iron going along way.

Good steam generator iron, glides well and irons quickly: not sure if it truly can guess which fabric is being ironed, though so far it hasn't ruined any clothes.

Excellent product.

Really good. Lightweight, easy to carry with foldaway iron lead into machine. Easy to fill tank, which slots onto body of machine easily. Easy to use iron, with fabulous steam boost again lightweight and easy to manoeuvre . Sole plate non stick non scratch and good size for jeans, duvet covers tablecloths and shirts and dresses. Cut through creased linen and cotton with ease, saving time and work. Automatic cut off safety feature when not in use. Sturdy clip holding iron onto base when in storage. Took a bit of getting used to after my last one, but had so much ironing to do, it really put it to the test and I am very pleased with it indeed. Heat cuts off when tank needs filling with water-avoids damage to the machine. Would recommend.

amazing and it really does reduce the ironing time

Bought to replace a 13-year old Philips steam generator iron, this isn’t cheap but it is very good. Heats up quickly, excellent steam delivery, the plate adjusts the heat level so as not to inadvertently over-cook some garments, the iron itself is lighter to move around whilst ironing as well. The feature of being able to lock the iron to the generator enabling you to carry the whole thing with the iron grip is a great idea, not awkward like our old one. Can’t comment on long-term durability at this point but all the signs are good.
