Customers Say
Tefal Ultraglide iron offers excellent steam, smooth gliding, and solid build. Long cord and anti-scale feature praised. Some find it heavy and water level visibility poor due to dark tank.

Love My Iron
I bought this iron a few weeks ago and so glad I did. I’ve had an Ultraglide before and it makes ironing a dream.

Nice feel and good results
So far so good but I haven't tested upright steaming yet. The iron glided easily. I appreciate the long cord. When using steam, the iron did hiss and splatter water a bit but the end result was good.

Strong
I really liked it because it is very effective compared to its price. I recommend buying it.
Samar, 25 - 34
Great iron
Recently upgraded my iron as the last one broke. Find the steam function on this particularly good and makes ironing very easy. Getting this recently made me realise how bad my old iron was!
Cez1236, 25 - 34, UK
Great job
Bought this to replace an old tefal, well worth the money especially with the Argos offer. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it is a little on the heavy side compared with my previous iron. Otherwise it would have got 5 stars.

Tefal iron
Seems to iron fine but it is quite a bulky iron Am sure will get used to it The anti scale feature should be useful as water is hard around here This is a like for like replacement seemed best value
Timbo174, 55 - 64

NickyD, 35 - 44
Great purchase
This is my second trial iron and I’m pleased to say I’m delighted with it
Wboll, 55 - 64
Amazing iron
This is my second regal ultra glide, first one bought in 2018, 8 years ago which I thought was broke but it wasn’t, I’m now the proud owner of 2 fantastic irons

The Iron does not include a water cup
Hi Sharon, we can advise that the slider can be flicked to the right for an extra steam boost. However it will not stay on this setting.
Hi Luc, we can advise not to use any water other than untreated tap water in the iron. If you know you live in a hard water area the untreated tap water can be mixed 50/50 with either distilled or demineralised water but there needs to be at least a 50% concentration of untreated tap water used in order for the steam function to work properly. Our irons are specifically made to use untreated tap water. Do not use pure demineralised water, water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rain water, filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water as these may damage the iron. These types of water contain organic waste, mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your iron.

Thank you for using Q&A
Hi, this iron is manufactured in China.
Hi Clare, we can advise that if the iron is leaking when the iron is being filled, always set your iron to the 'No Steam' function before you start to fill it. Also, you can check the temperature that the iron thermostat dial/slider is set to as the temperature maybe too low to produce steam. The majority of our irons will only produce steam when set on the 2 dot or 3 dot setting. When you look on your iron's thermostat dial you will notice that the 2 dot and 3 dot settings have a shaded background, this indicates that the iron will produce steam when the dial is set inside this shaded area. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to visit our contact us page: https://www.tefal.co.uk/contact-us... and our customer service team will be happy to assist you as soon as possible.
Hi Lesley, to prevent brown water leaking out of your steam iron, please do not use any water other than untreated tap water in the iron.
If you know you live in a hard water area the untreated tap water can be mixed 50/50 with either distilled or demineralised water but there needs to be at least a 50% concentration of untreated tap water used in order for the steam function to work properly. Our irons are specifically made to use untreated tap water. Do not use any other water type as these contain organic waste, mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your iron. Do not leave water in the tank when you have finished ironing.Also, an iron can act a bit like a vacuum cleaner on clothes and suck up soap deposits from fabric. It's essential therefore that clothes are thoroughly rinsed before ironing. chemical descaling agents or additives should never been used in the water tank.

Hello Jac,
The supplier has advised the following for the Tefal Utraglide Plus FV5872G0 Steam Iron:
“ It does not contain a single temp soleplate this has a thermostat control. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
No temperature setting and it can iron all fabrics without damage. However, I have just purchased this iron and will be returning it. It is NOT a one temperature iron as stated in the description.
The power cord for this model is 3m.
