Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply...The Best Iron Without any doubt this is the best iron that I have ever used. It is as easy as switch on and go and that is a huge plus. It glides effortlessly over all types of fabrics with no need to change temperatures or settings. The steam boost is powerful enough and perfect for curtains and various other hanging garments. The Eco mode is a great addition and does not cause the iron to lose power or performance. The Smart Protect Plus is not too heavy, a perfect weight to feel it is doing its job. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking to replace/update their current model/brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Making ironing simple This iron automatically adjusts the temperature depending on material. I was sceptical at first as I was expecting it to burn or snag. However I could go from different materials with no burning or sticking, no residual left on the iron. This iron makes ironing my uniforms so much easier and quicker. The heat is sufficient to iron the design makes it easy to fill with water to use the steam function. The iron has a triangle stand too that helps the balance so you don't catch the wire. So impressed with this iron I used this now instead of my previous one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product once you get used to it Product looks good and the auto switch off is a really good safety feature. Not having a temperature setting took some getting used to and I’m not sure how confident I’d be ironing an expensive delicate item but in fairness it seems to work…..at least on the items i tried. It irons really well with enough steam to f ok a decent job of work shirts. The only slight grumble is the cord is quite short although probably not more so than other irons but a longer cord would make it a bit more user friendly. Overall I’d definitely recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Colour me imPRESSED! I was very lucky to get this iron to a replace my fir my old one and wow! The steam on this bad boy is next level, it doesn’t drip water, it’s easy to descale and is a joy to use I can use less energy by using eco mode, but the best thing about this is there’s no more guesswork with seeing if the iron is too hot as there’s no dial which is brilliant! It can even go vertical steaming too! I would definitely recommend this iron for anyone after replacement one as it’s just really great, it doesn’t take long to set up and it just does a great job

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good features Usually I use a steamer but decided I needed a proper iron for the tough creases in clothing. I like the fact it can be used vertically, like my usual steamer, and the powerful steam it produces is great. Heat up time is also super quick. For me the biggest problem is the weight and bulkiness of the iron. It’s heavy, so if you struggle to grip heavy objects or you struggle with problems with your wrists, like myself, then you’re probably going to struggle with this iron. The bulkiness of it makes it difficult to store. I don’t have a designated utility room so I’m struggling to find it a home when it’s not in use. If you’ve got the space and no health issues with hands etc then this would be a great option. It is on the pricey side though

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Tefal iron Upon opening the box the iron looks good, i like the design and colour and i liked the idea that you only have one setting for each different fabric. Once i started using it however, it didn't really impress me much. The cord kept Kinking, which made it difficult to iron. The water spray kept dripping and when using it, it didn't get the deep creases out or dry very well after. The clothing that i ironed didn't look as though they had been ironed. Even though it has an eco function, it was quite expensive to run compared to my old iron.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ironing made simple! I’m not the biggest fan of ironing in general, so anything that makes my life easier is a huge plus in my opinion. I’ve had a couple of weeks to test this iron out and I’ve been wondering where it’s been all my life! The iron heats up really fast, especially with the wattage it has. Glides effortlessly over clothing, the steam feature is great, especially nearing the festive season when you need to steam your suits and smart clothing. As most people right now, I’m quite conscious of bacteria, viruses and germs and it’s great at sanitising materials. P I also live in an area with hard water, so the scale collector was a god send, and really easy to maintain. I’m so happy I was sent this as it makes my ironing sessions so much easier. Thank you Tefal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tefal iron Smart Protect Plus FV6872 A super intelligent iron selects the right temperature by itself, I do not have to worry about how to set the equipment because the program is intuitive and knows what temperature to choose to iron and not damage the material. Heats up quickly, large water tank. I recommend this iron because of the non-scratchy soleplate. It is light and easy to use. No need to worry if you forget to turn off, because it automatically turns itself off when not working. Great equipment, I am very pleased. I recommend to everyone.
