pushed the button,and after having to take cover when my 14 year old son picked it up pointed it in my direction and decided to fire of some steam as it looked cool ( obviously not cool or clever ) I thought this might actually be worth the money.
By the time I'd finished I was sure it was. I reckon I cut about an hour of my usual ironing time, and think this could still be improved on as I'm still on my "L" plates but was really pleased with the results. Great on jeans and duvet covers, didn't need to refill the water tank at all and just wizzed over shirts. Yes it is a little on the large side for storage purposes, had to do a bit of reorganising to find it a home,and yes it is expensive, but I would defiantly recommend spending that little bit extra on this iron. As Cheaper options may be a false economy. This iron had all the features that I had read were important i.e large water tank, 5bar pressure,large steam vents
Tefal Pro Express Turbo GV8360 - From Anita @amazon.co.uk
This is my 3rd tefal pro-express turbo. the 1st one lasted for years before breaking. I bought a cheaper steam generator and it really showed, 3 weeks later i sold it to my friend and bought another tefal pro-express. I've had that one for 3 years but as my son has just bought his first house i've given it to him and bought myself a new one (due to me going round there to do his ironing). This new one is a little more advanced than the last one but still the same quality. These steam generator irons provide so much steam the make even the most arduous ironing tasks easy. Don't get me wrong, i am not a 'stepford wife', i do not love ironing, in fact i positively hate it, but this makes it a little easier to face. It makes ironing bedding so much easier as you don't have to go over creases over and over and over.
This product is at the expensive end of the market but for anyone with a large family or very large amounts of ironing to do i would recommend buying it. It will cut the time spent ironing and everything will be ironed crisp and sharp.
They Just Get Better - From CDurb @amazon.co.uk
This is the 2nd Tefal Steam Generator Iron that I've owned, and I love it.
A little expensive on the pocket, but worth every penny, having a family of 5 it cuts my time stood ironing by at least half. Whip over even the most difficult of items in a flash.
Anyone thinking about making this purchase and the price is putting them off, dont be tempted to go for a cheaper alternative, I have many friends then went on to buy Steam Generator Irons themselves after seeing and using mine, and the cheaper one's dont compare.
Less Steam… More Steam - From JuicyJuls @amazon.co.uk
I've been using the Tefal Steam Generator Irons for the last 5 years for both commercial and personal use. I don't think there is anything currently out there that can beat this one. I've bought this one just in case the one I am using gives up after the constant use it goes through. If you live in a hard water area like me, I would only suggest that you clean the Anti Scale rod and the contents of the unit regularly. Love it!
