Lightweight, easy-to-use iron with smart temperature control and strong steam. Glides smoothly on various fabrics, reducing ironing time. Some users find the cord too short and water tank visibility poor.

Brilliant Iron, glides through all materials. Never sticks or burns any materials. Best iron I've ever owned.

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

Lightweight iron
I purchased this Tefal iron because it’s similar to my last one and reasonably lightweight. As so many others have said, the cord is too short so I had to purchase a small extension lead so that I can reach the end of my large ironing board. I still wish the spray knob was not under the handle as it’s annoying but all companies copy each other sadly. It glides well and the steam output is average. The temperature could be a tad hotter but no doubt it’s a health and safety issue. Otherwise it’s a nice little iron.

Tefal Smart Iron
This iron is of great quality, does as it "says" It's lightweight making ironing less of a chore It smoothly glides over your clothes, removing the creases almost instantly I recommend this iron The only downside as many reviews have stated is the length of cable, it could be doing with being a little longer

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.

Best iron I've ever bought
This iron is the best I've ever bought (and I've bought a lot over the years!). This one has no temperature dial - it sets the temp automatically which is a game changer. This purchase is to replace the exact same model that I bought a few years ago (which lasted longer than other branded irons I've had in the past). Steaming is powerful, it glides because the iron is in charge of the temp! And I've never had a problem with fibre build up on the bottom of the iron.

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

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.

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:)

Hi, Your appliance is designed to work with tap water. If you live in a hard water area, you can use up to 50% tap water and 50% distilled water, and it’s important to regularly use the self-clean function to prevent limescale build-up.
Please avoid water with additives or pure distilled/demineralised water, as this can cause damage or performance issues.
Hi Jac,
I can confirm this item has 2 functioning steam settings.

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.
