Tefal Pro Express Turbo Steam Iron Review,
The Tefal Pro Express Turbo is one in a range of steam generating irons produced by popular name in small appliances, Tefal. The manufacturer’s description reads a bit like an engineering worksheet with its talk of pressure bars, Ultraglide ceramic soleplates and optimum steam diffusion but it soon becomes clear that it is backed up by some pretty impressive results.
The pressure bars simply means that I am able to vary the amount of steam that the iron produces. This is particularly useful when dealing with different fabrics: higher output for denim and linen and lower for the delicate fabrics. The ultraglide soleplates glide effortlessly on the garments and the steam diffusion means no wet patches, just a lovely finish on the final article.
As a busy Mum, time is really important and herein lies the reason why this iron has gained top position of all my household aides. The combination of heat and steam means that my ironing, no matter how creased, is done in considerably less time compared to the traditional irons I had owned. While this not a new idea, the Express Turbo delivers the steam more powerfully – 200g/min, at as high as 5 bars of Pressure. This allows for a top finish with only one glide in most cases. Other top features I like include
• A removable water tank with an impressive 1.8 litre capacity
• Retractable power cord
• A Turbo boost button for extra steam on those stubborn creases
• It is secure on its base when not in use.
Inevitably as with everything, it does have some not so good points. The most obvious being the price. At a recommended retail price of £269.99 it is an expensive iron, although worth every penny in my opinion. Spare parts can be on the expensive side. It is also relatively heavy compared to the traditional style of irons. The cord can get very hot after long periods of use and I think the design of it would be much improved by better protective covering around it. Having said that, I love my Tefal Turbo Express Iron and I could never go back to using the traditional irons.
