Smooth and powerful iron
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.

Good for the money
I bought this when the spring sale was on and it’s a bargain. It auto selects the temperature which is taking a bit of getting used to but says it will never burn an item… and so far so good. I have dropped a star as it does nit come with a water beaker which is frustrating for an iron at this price point - otherwise I am very happy with it:)

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!

Tefal replacement
Bought this to replace previous tefal iron. Not as heavy but does the job.

Smart laundry tool with lots of functions.
Great product with its temperature control for each product. It glides over materials without problems easing out creases leaving a smooth surface from silks to denim. It has plenty of steam when required and is light and easily manageable with a great length of cable

Best iron I have ever had
I wasn't sure about spending that much on an iron but worth every penny for me. I just need to go over clothes and bedding once and it's done. Cut ironically time by half. Only niggle is the cord the is really short and I have to have an extension lead

Not grate as l thought it would be.
I regret buying this iron. Each time I’m using it the water comes out. I’ve abandoned it only used not up to ten times. Can l still return it for an exchange?

Easy ironing
Have had this iron for a over a year now as my previous 'heavy weight' died. It's lightweight which is a bonus, and does a great job on all types of materials. There is a removable cap at the back which collects the excess calcium which is brilliant, just rinse and screw back in, surprising how much is collected in there, ideal for hard water areas. Would like a bigger water tank, as have to refill frequently.

Hello Mad.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Tefal FV6872G0 Smart Protect Plus Steam Iron:
This iron does not have a temperature dial. It has just the one single setting which allows you to go from denim to silk without setting.
Thank you for using Q & A.
