TOP 10 best Tefal irons

Let's look at the main characteristics that you should pay attention to when choosing a model.

• Sole coating.
  The main difference between Tefal irons is the sole material. French engineers have developed and patented a non-stick coating technology that makes it easier to glide over fabric, does not damage it and requires virtually no maintenance.
• Device power.
  The higher the power of the iron, the faster it heats up. 2200 W is sufficient power even for steam blasts; some presented models have increased power for better smoothing.
• Collector for collecting scale.
  Detains the smallest particles of scale so that they do not clog the holes in the sole and do not get on the fabric. The collector is easy to clean; just remove and empty it. Cleansing is recommended every 3 months.
• Anti-drip system.
  Protects the fabric from water droplets and stains during the ironing process.
• Vertical steaming.
  The function allows you to iron laundry without using a board, which is especially convenient for large items and with many decorative elements.
• Constant steam supply.
  A standard function of steam irons, in which steam is evenly distributed over the soleplate, forming an air layer between the fabric and the iron, which makes it easier to glide over the textile. When you set the desired temperature and select the fabric type, the iron determines the exact amount of steam needed.
• Splashing.
  A targeted spray of tiny drops of water will help smooth out complex folds or creases in hard-to-reach places.
• Steam boost.
  A powerful stream of steam will cope even with stubborn folds in hard-to-reach places without damaging them. Liquid consumption in this mode increases several times.
• Eco function.
  A mode that automatically sets optimal settings, saving up to 20% of energy compared to operating in maximum performance mode. At the same time, ironing efficiency does not deteriorate.
• Auto power off.
  If you leave the iron idle or forget to turn it off, it will do it on its own. When in a horizontal position after 30 seconds, in a vertical position - after 8 minutes.
