Tefal Ultimate Pure Steam Iron, 260g/min Steam Boost, 350ml Water Tank, 3m Power Cord, 3100W, Black and Rose Gold, FV9845

Product Information

Again, the auto-shut off function provides peace of mind; and a ceramic sole plate means it glides smoothly. You can also use it for vertical steaming, on clothes which are hanging up, as well as on your ironing board. With 2600w of power, it doesn’t get quite as hot and steamy as the Tefal Ultimate Pure – but I liked the spray nozzle and option to use a 210g steam shot to get rid of entrenched creases (although you have to wait four seconds between each shot).

Your iron has a built-in thermostat controlling the temperature very precisely over the entire surface of the soleplate. The thermostat dial contains international markers with dots corresponding to three ironing temperatures.

Just like the dial, I found the micro calc filter a bit stiff to remove at first, but ultimately it didn’t impact on its performance. Remove the anti-scale valve (or set the control to self-clean/autoclean depending on the model). Steam, water and scale deposits will leave the steam chamber through the steam holes and the iron will be clean. There is not enough water in the tank. Fill it up with the quantity indicated in the instructions for use and push spray button several times to fill the system complete. The indicator light keeps going on and off.

Water tank capacity: To avoid adding extra weight, look for a small tank (although not so small that you constantly have to refill it).I like that it comes with a jug for pouring water in without spillage. A big red light flashes slowly to let you know it’s heating up, which takes a couple of seconds. Cleaning the anti-calc valve: Remove the antiscale valve and soak the valve in a cup of white vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours. I want to remove the water from the tank but there is still a little left.

Convenient: The 350ml water tank will save time as you won’t constantly be refilling, and the 3m power cord ensures you can reach all around your ironing board. The automatic steam features means there’s no need to set the steam, so you can just get on with the job. Ultimate Pure also has the new Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate with 33% more glide**** for fast and effortless ironing. 100% active steam holes ensure maximum steam distribution, so you can get through your ironing pile efficiently, while the Autoclean Palladium coating helps to keep it stain-free over time without any maintenance. Rounding things off are a generous 350ml tank for fewer refills and an extra-long 3m cord for maximum mobility. Ultimate Pure even turns itself off if left unattended for added safety. If you prefer a compact design, this steam iron will fulfill that requirement. The sleek and compact design means that it will be effortless to handle design. Apart from this, other features help it stand out. We will describe those features below. Features of Tefal FV9830 Convenient: With a soft-grip handle for comfort, a 350ml tank to avoid constant refills, and 3m power cord that gives you plenty of room to manoeuvre, Ultimate Pure takes the hassle out of ironing.

It also has a MicroScale filter, which helps to reduce limescale stains on your clothes by filtering out limescale particles – making it one of the better choices on the market if you live in a hard water area. Efficient ironing: The Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate brings 33% more glide**** and maximum steam distribution for efficiency. The grip of this steam iron is excellent.
