Tefal Ultimate Pure Steam Iron, 260g/min Steam Boost, 350ml Water Tank, 3m Power Cord, 3100W, Black and Rose Gold, FV9845

Product Information

This isn’t a machine you’d use for huge amounts of ironing as the water reservoir is tiny – it’s built into the handle and will definitely need refilling if you’re steaming multiple items – but it’s incredibly easy to fill, mainly because Tefal have had the foresight to make it removable from the main body of the steamer. Efficient ironing: The Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate brings 33% more glide**** and maximum steam distribution for efficiency.

Convenient: The 350ml water tank will save time as you won’t constantly be refilling, and the 3m power cord ensures you can reach all around your ironing board.The soleplate is large and smooth, and there’s even a texture brush attachment to remove any debris before ironing. Our only slight criticisms are that there’s no built-in de-calc facility – so, depending on how hard your water is, you’ll need to buy and use a descaler from time to time – and the iron is heavier than many others. The selected temperature is too low to use this function: set the thermostat to the zone between 3 dots and MAX. The selected temperature is too low and does not allow steam to be produced: set the thermostat to the steam zone (between 2 dots and MAX).

Rapid results: 3000W enables an ultra-powerful, continuous steam output of up to 55g/min, plus an extra 240g/min steam boost, with automatic steam setting for efficient crease removal. Let the anti-calc valve soak for 4 hours in a glass of commercially available white vinegar or natural lemon juice, then thoroughly rinse the anti-calc valve under tap water. After use, empty the tank, close the steam control, set the thermostat to minimum and stand the iron upright or place it on the base (depending on model). The only real downside I could find was that the dial was stiff on first use and some of the writing on the dial was much smaller than on other Tefal models. Which was a surprise for such a big iron.Convenient: With a soft-grip handle for comfort, a 350ml tank to avoid constant refills, and 3m power cord that gives you plenty of room to manoeuvre, Ultimate Pure takes the hassle out of ironing. It is not designed for the water to be removed completely. It is okay to use or store the iron even with a small amount of water remaining. When storing, please remove as much water as possible and store in an upright position. How do I clean the soleplate? Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled. Leave it at a local civic waste collection point. Where can I buy accessories, consumables or spare parts for my appliance? Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non metallic washing up pad. For easier, non-corrosive cleaning of your iron's soleplate, use a damp sponge on the soleplate while it is still warm.

It has the standard power rating of 2600w and a smooth gliding sole place, and like the Tefal Ultimate Pure, it also has a built-in calc container that prevents scale from building up. Because the container is removable, you can rinse away the build up in 15 seconds, to be exact (this is faster and works better than the self-cleaning button featured in the Russell Hobbs one temperature iron and the Funky Iron Company Iron below). It’s easy to clip in and out. This is not only to avoid overheating of the iron or the surface on which it is placed but also to ensure that no-one gets burned. If safety is one of your main concerns, choose an iron that has an automatic cut-off function.There is not enough water in the tank. Fill it up with the quantity indicated in the instructions for use and push spray button several times to fill the system complete. The indicator light keeps going on and off.
