About this product
Transform your laundry pile with the Tefal Ultraglide Plus FV5872G0 Steam Iron, a powerful 2800W workhorse ready to tackle creases in 2 minutes. Designed to glide effortlessly across everyday cottons to delicate fabrics, its Durilium Airglide soleplate delivers a smooth finish while the 50g per minute continuous steam and 210g per minute steam shot penetrate stubborn wrinkles. The 270mL water tank offers plenty of capacity before refilling, and the precision tip handles tricky areas like collars and button plackets.
What makes this iron brilliant is how easy it is to maintain and use. The removable Scale Collector keeps steam performance consistent for years, while the anti-drip system protects garments from water marks. Variable steam settings adjust for any fabric, and the vertical steam function freshens hanging clothes and curtains without taking them down.

With a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee, it's built to handle your ironing needs for the long haul.

love it
after having an old steam iron for over 10 years, using this one is just a delight

Nice looking iron, but very disappointing purchase
I chose this iron as Tefal has a good reputation and although it was a bit more expensive than other irons it had an attractive offer of 30% off. I tried it out at home straight away, but found that the half-steam function was ok, but the higher steam function wasn’t working. The switch wasn’t staying put when trying to select high steam, it was just moving back onto ‘no steam’ position, so off course no steam! I took it back to Argos, and got it replaced with the same model, only to find the same problem on the replacement. Needless to say I’ll be asking for a refund this time. Also, I found that I couldn’t tell what level the water was at because of the dark colour of the iron. Very disappointing.

Fantastic steam lightweight iron
Bought to replace a more expensive Russell Hobbs iron that wasn't heating properly after barely a year. Should have stuck with TEFAL!! Constant steam is fantastic, much lighter weight so glides with ease and no creases left over anymore

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great light weight iron I struggle with the nerves in my neck so having a lighter iron is essential for me This one is really good as not only is it light but it does iron really well too It heats up quickly, has a long cable and does its job well

Good steam iron
Ticks all the boxes for a steam iron. Nice weight, neither too heavy or too light. Generous cord length, heats up quickly, generates ample amounts of steam and glides nicely over my laundry. Nothing to dislike.

Light weight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lovely lightweight iron that gets the job done quickly and efficiently. It heats up quickly and get nice and hot so you can get those stubborn creases out. As for irons go, it’s pretty good so can’t complain.

Tefal Iron not as good as my old one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel this is lightweight and makes ironing shirts a breeze, however I feel the quality compared to my last iron which was a phillips is not quite there, it feel cheaply made but this may be because other one was heavy and could be just my opinion. Although in terms of ironing it does do the job. I wouldn't necessarily recommend although it was value for money I would prefer to try a different one next time
Kellyh49710, 35 - 44, UK
Lots of features and a long lead
It glides and steams well until you iron something silk or satin then it doesn't

Smooth and powerful iron
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve found this iron really good for getting through laundry quickly. It heats up fast, glides smoothly over clothes and the steam is strong enough to deal with most everyday creases without loads of effort. The anti-scale feature is also reassuring, especially if you live in a hard water area. It isn’t perfect. It can feel a little heavy after a while, and the water level isn’t the easiest to see. I’d also be careful not to overfill it, as steam irons can spit if the settings or water level aren’t quite right. Overall, it’s a powerful, reliable iron that makes the job easier. Not flawless, but very good.

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. 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.

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.
