Tefal FV4040 Ultraglide Steam Iron, 2400 W, Durilium Technology

I left my partner to order me a new iron and was a little concerned that he was not willing to spend a lot of money on it. However, it may be the cheapest iron I've ever owned, but it is the best iron I've ever owned. Give him his due, he did do his research and this iron did have the best reviews in it's price range and I can see why. It is lightweight, which I thought meant it wouldn't iron as well however it irons beautifully. Heats up very quickly and irons clothes and bedding with ease. It's easy to use and to be my delight, when I have it on high steam it doesn't dribble water out everywhere which my past irons have done.

Bought this new iron as my old Tefal iron was starting leaking. Its a great little iron, steam is really powerful and does the job. I will only buy Tefal's irons and this iron is as good as the other ones I bought before and good value for money. Also it is very light and the water tank is big, so no need to refill every 5 mins.

This iron is more light-weight than I'd expected. I prefer a solidly heavy-weight iron, at least I'm holding onto that notion for as long as I can. However for anyone seeking a non-heavy but brilliant iron this would be the one! It is very stable when sitting upended on its erm, back side, it does not wobble or topple at all. It irons very effectively, I think by using major steam power (just have a top-up jug to hand if doing lots of ironing), which is no problem & offsets the lighter weight. The dial is clear, comprehensive and easy to use, although I would like a linen setting - I'll just use the very top cotton one when we get to summer. It has a cord clip - yay! I LOVE the cut-off feature and don't understand why all modern irons don't have this - very reassuring if like me you're frequently troubled by "did I leave the iron on?" doubts (my mind is usually elsewhere concentrating on other matters besides ironing). The soleplate is a lovely quality ceramic non-gunky type and it irons around buttons really well.

this iron was a really good price and is very good to use but I did not like how it was delivered it was dumped on the doorstep and I was in and it had no covering even a bag of some sort just a label on the iron box I think with covid being around at least a bag would have been good as who had handled that box so I wiped it down and didnt touch it for 4 days pity the seller had to spoil a good product by not thinking

I must say the weight of this iron is perfect, having ironed for an hour,I did not feel my arm tired. The iron does the job and does not burn anything, even though I used it on the maximum power all the time and ironed different types of fabrics. It creates a lot of steam so the water tank gets empty quicker than my old Bosch - I refilled it twice during the 1-hour ironing and I used the steam boost only 3-5 times. The steam boost's button can be a bit annoying because it is located in the middle of the iron's handle but you can get used to it. The cord is long and comfortable. It's a good value for £30.

This iron has a ridiculous piece of plastic,for which I can see no reason, around the back. I have an iron holder fitted to keep hot iron safe in my laundry cupboard and because of this silly design feature, it does not fit. I had used it before I realised this so could not return it, why do they put these stupid design features on for no reason, an expensive mistake for me.

I was very pleased to find this iron as an excellent replacement for my previous Tefal ultraglide which I've had for over 10 years.It is reasonably lightweight, heats up quickly and the difference in the cool and hot settings is noticeable. Water tank is quite large so even with steam facility you don't have to refill often during a huge ironing session.The flex is very long which would be helpful if your plug socket isn't as close as you would like it to be.Great iron at a very good price.

This is an excellent iron, the flex is nearly twice as long as my last iron, it has more steam than my last iron and the base glides easily over wrinkled clothes. Is the water tank smaller than my last iron? I don't know, but I have noticed that it needs filling up several times during a typical ironing session. So the tank is either smaller or the iron makes a lot of steam. I love it.
