Nice iron and great value

I’ve been through a lot of irons but this is by far the best one I’ve ever owned. It does a really nice job on those hard to iron cotton items with very little effort or time. I read a lot of reviews and hesitated because of the low price, but it is well made and works well.

Sewist/Quilter Approved

LOVE my new iron. Words cannot describe how much I am impressed. I am a quilter and sewist so I iron a ton. I had a Rowenta for about 8 years and it constantly leaked. For my birthday, my husband treated me to an iron of my choice and I was looking at the Oliso. After reading many mix reviews, I decided against it. I follow Vanessa from the Crafty Gemini who has a video on the 5 irons she recommends. This T-Fal is one of them and I can see why she recommends it. I have only had it for two weeks but I love it and it has not leaked once. It heats up quickly and love it for interfacing. Make the purchase, you won't regret.

Great iron for the price

I researched a lot of irons to replace my Rowenta Steam iron that I loved. I was not very happy with the reviews for Rowenta for the price, so I decided to go with this one. Every review fpr both irons had several reviewers complaining about leaking soleplates. So far after a month, and I use this iron a LOT, it still works like a dream. Glides, doesn't get gummy, steams perfectly. I loved the Rowenta, but it was old and not sad. This thing has reduced my ironing time by half it works so darn well. Don't let the price fool you. It's a good one.

Really enjoying this iron!

I have been using this iron for about a month and I am really enjoying it. It has a super smooth bottom that doesn't catch or rub on anything. The base of the iron is really wide and stable with a notch cut out for the cord. When you set it down, the cord goes right into the notch. My old iron used to fall over a lot so I love how stable this is. The iron heats up fast and has great steam. I love that the cord is really long. The water refill is wide so it can be filled directly from the sink. A few people in reviews mentioned leaking, but this is user error! If you are using the iron at lower temperatures, move the setting to "no steam"! Water will only leak out if you set the temperature low and then try to use the steam feature. It shows right on the dial which temperatures are high enough to use steam. This iron is meant to be used with tap water and has a decalcification feature. You are not supposed to use it with distilled water. It will actually void the warrantee if you use pure distilled, bottled, or filtered water! The only things that I didn't like were the rub marks on the front part of the iron when it arrived and the instructions. When I buy a new item, I like it to look new at least for a while. A simple piece of foam across the front of the iron would prevent the damage from the cardboard holding the iron in place. With the instructions, about half are pictures. The pictures are showing multi-step instructions and it takes a bit of time to figure out what they are trying to communicate. Fortunately, once you have gone through them, then you know what to do and you won't have to deal with them again. I'm sure it saved them writing it out in 15 languages. Also for those who choose not to use their instructions, when you turn the iron on for the first time there is a small wisp of smoke that comes out of the top of the iron. This is normal and only lasts for a few seconds. Overall, a great iron, especially for the price.

The perfect iron

A little more than a year ago, the old Rowenta iron I got in college longer ago than I want to admit finally died. I looked for a replacement on Amazon and stupidly bought the BLACK+DECKER IR2050 Vitessa Advanced Steam Iron, Stainless Steel Soleplate with Vertical Steam & Auto Off because I thought Black & Decker was a reputable brand. That was a huge mistake because that iron took forever to heat, produced no steam but managed to leak like a sieve, and the drips left marks on the clothes so they had to be washed again. A few weeks ago, I'd just had enough of the Black & Decker. I went to Consumer Reports for their iron reviews so I wouldn't waste my money again. CR recommended this iron so I checked Amazon and saw it for sale at a decent price. I've used it for a few weeks now and have to say it is at least as good as the old Rowenta was in its prime. This iron heats up for cottons and linens in under a minute. It has never dripped. With the steam setting on high, it pumps out steam like a turbine, even without using the manual steam button. The ceramic plate glides over clothes so smoothly that I can finish a week's ironing in no time. I was skeptical about T-Fal because all I knew about it was a vague recollection of some late-night infomercials for some sketchy-looking cooking products years ago. The only thing that persuaded me to even give this iron a try was the Consumer Reports recommendation, but I'm glad I did. I just hope it lasts as long as that old Rowenta.

the best of the best of the best

I have been ironing since my time in the military and have tried numerous types from the supposedly "High End" to the "Ultra High End" steam irons; this iron is, without a doubt, the best of the best of the best!!!! It has all of the outstanding features from the extra long cord (folding no less as the iron is set down), to the ceramic base plate. It glides effortlessly across any type of fabric and makes ironing much less a challenge. It provides superb steam power at the time(s) it is needed whether from a "quick steam" upright to your normal ironing pattern. I was, to say the least, completely taken by surprise with it. It’s just the best of the best that I have ever used; not to mention the superb pricing (unmatched by any other brand or model) through Amazon.com. Even with the manufacturers-only 1-year warranty, I would gladly purchase it again should the unit fail at the end of the warranty period. A great buy even if it unit were double the price! If there is a better, easier unit "out there," I would find it hard to beat! HATS OFF to T-fal for this outstanding, quality-for-the-money steam iron. Thanks! Oh yes, if you are looking to replace your old Ironing Board, the perfect match for this iron is the "Minky Homecare Pro Iron Station" ironing board. I did not find it on Amazon.com but found it at "Hayneedle.com” (Item no. MINK010-1). This is a larger-than-normal board and is, without question, the highest quality, best all-around board I have ever used. It made my search on the net worthwhile in every respect. While on Amazon.com, don't forget to pickup the Brabantia 124662 - 53-by-18 Size-D ironing-board cover with foam insert. Superb pricing to match perfectly this board. In addition while on Amazon.com, pickup a package (2 per package) of the Protective Ironing Scorch-Saving Mesh Pressing Pad #128-2 (Household Essentials). Superb pricing on these items to have available as needed. I hope this review helps.

Perfect iron

The best iron ever! Do not listen to the bad reviews! The iron is not leaking !( I assume there bad reviews are from the competition). It has great size, which makes it easier to use. I love yo use the water tank, and the steam feature. My husband ( who does not like ironing) says that the iron is great! Tefal is a great brand and if you want a long lasting high quality iron than this is the one.

I love T-fal steam irons

I’ve tried a half dozen different brands of steam irons, with little success until I ran across T-fal. Those other brands either produced very little steam, or spit and drained onto the clothes, sometimes leaving stains, and the biggest disappointment was Rowenta, which produced great steam but none of them lastest longer than a year—one quit working after a week!—in spite of being super expensive. Then I got my hands on a T-fal and it’s been a love affair for the last 10+ years. I don’t drain them after using them, I don’t clean them like I should, and yet they perform wonderfully for an average of about five years, and for a very reasonable price. I’ll keep buying them as long as they make them.

Overall, I'm happy!

I am a quilter. I was right in the middle of a quilt project when my old iron died. As I am housebound I had to order a new iron online and QUICK! This T-fal is the one I purchased. I don't know anything about them. Had no idea how it would work. It was all a guess on my part. It arrived within 48 hours of my purchase. THAT thrilled me. Not very much down time for my project. When it arrived, however, it became pretty clear to me that it was a used iron. I had not realized that I had purchased a used iron. The box it came in was taped together all over as if it had been torn apart before and there were no instruction booklets or warranty pages... I was pretty P.O.'d if you want to know the truth. At myself as much as anyone for not paying attention to the fact that it was not new when I bought it. However, it seemed to be in pretty good condition and I NEEDED IT! Right now! So, I went ahead and decided to keep it. I've only had a few days now. But, I can say, that I love it. It's probably the best iron I've ever had. I'm still worried about not having a warranty...still wish I had the instruction book... etc. I don't usually buy used items. BUT, if it continues to perform as it has over the last few days. I'm good. My favorite part about this iron is the INCREDIBLY long cord. I love being able to move away from the small area I was confined to before with my other iron. Overall, I'm happy!

Great Iron!

Love the lightweight but heavy duty on this iron! I had a Rowenta, and hated it. Got this for a fraction of the price - it's awesome! I piece quilting fabrics so it is always on Hi, and on when I'm sewing. Has an auto shut off that works great. Don't waste your money on other 'name brands' that promise a lot and deliver nothing. And, no - I do not work for T-fal!
