Review of the best Tefal irons and steamers in 2022 by features and cost

Few people can argue that the proverb “meet by clothes, but see off by mind” has sunk into oblivion. And in modern times, clothes play a major role in shaping the first impression, and creating pleasant emotions, thanks to a neat appearance, helps a small but important household appliance - an iron.

The transformations that have taken place with this device over many decades of its existence are truly amazing. Now irons are powerful devices, working with which does not require much effort. But still, when buying, you need to take into account some points so as not to make mistakes when choosing.

Below we will tell you what you should pay attention to when purchasing an iron, and the best models from Tefal will be presented.

How to choose and what to look for when buying an iron

Kinds

Before proceeding directly to the purchase of an iron, it is necessary to determine the selection criteria. Travelers or business people with frequent business trips do not need to purchase a powerful and bulky iron. On sale there are excellent budget devices designed just for travel. They are compact with a folding handle and light weight.

For use at home, the usual iron is ideal for everyone. Basically, they have standard functionality, but the best manufacturers are trying to endow their models with additional features. In addition to adjusting the temperature, atomizer, water tank and constant steam supply, options such as steam boost, anti-drip system and anti-calc can significantly facilitate the work.

Wireless devices can be distinguished into a special category, complete with a special stand, from which the device heats up. The disadvantage of this model is the need for long-term use, periodically put on a stand and additionally heat the iron. But this problem is solved by two-in-one devices with the ability, if necessary, to connect the cord directly to the device.

Steam stations are already used for professional use.At a price they are an order of magnitude higher than conventional irons, so their use in everyday life is not always advisable. In addition, they are heavy and take up a lot of space.

Materials and ergonomics

The second important parameter when choosing an iron is the build quality and ease of use.

The case is most often made of high-quality plastic, but it is not the case itself that matters, but the type of sole. The ceramic sole is considered the best. Its features are effective ironing without sticking, resistance to damage and smooth glide. But the disadvantage of such material is the high cost.

The stainless steel sole is inexpensive, quickly heats up the device and, as in the previous version, it glides well, but this material is heavy and increases the weight of the device.

The sole made of aluminum is light and has good thermal conductivity, but is absolutely scratch resistant.

Of the less popular, Teflon can be distinguished, which requires careful handling when in contact with metal fasteners on clothes, as well as durable titanium with low thermal conductivity.

The package may include a nozzle for delicate fabrics, which allows you to iron your clothes more gently.

The ergonomics of the device lies both in easy sliding and in the convenient location of functionality. The temperature control and the steam button should be located on the body so that their use does not require additional effort.

If the iron is not cordless, then it should have a long cord that does not hinder movement. And it will not be superfluous to automatically wind the cord.

The weight of the device matters a lot. The opinion that the iron should be heavy is wrong.1.5 kg - a comfortable weight, at which the hand does not get tired and allows you to comfortably use the device.

Functional

One of the main technical parameters of the iron, which allows to reduce the heating time and give the device a larger set of functions, is power. An indicator of 2200 watts and more refers to semi-professional and professional devices, and 1500 watts is enough for normal home use.

Modern irons, in addition to their main task - to put the appearance of linen in order and smooth out wrinkles, are endowed with additional functions that not only facilitate this process, but also expand the functionality of the device.

Over-dried and dense material will easily smooth out continuous steam, while heavy items or delicate fabrics will put in order steaming in an upright position and a powerful burst of steam.

Even the cleaning of the appliance takes place independently, thanks to the self-cleaning system, and the built-in anti-scale agents will extend the “life” of the iron.

And, of course, work with an electrical appliance must be safe. Therefore, an automatic switch-off when not moving for a long time or an auto-off signal to prevent the risk of fire is simply indispensable.

The best Tefal steamers

Separately, we can distinguish such modern ironing devices as steamers. Such a unit smoothes any fabric only with the help of steam, the temperature of which can reach 100 ° C. In the process of its work, it does not come into contact with clothes, therefore it does not damage even the most capricious materials and easily copes with numerous decorations on festive dresses.

Steamers are handheld and floor mounted.Manual ones are convenient to take on trips, but in everyday use, many models may not be able to cope with a large amount of unironed linen. Very often, such devices are endowed with low power and a small water tank.

Floor standing among themselves differ in a way of steam supply. In gravity floor steamers, steam enters the iron directly from the boiler. And there are devices that supply steam under pressure created by a special valve. Steam pressure indicators for such devices are important. For optimal use, 3 bar is sufficient.

But, nevertheless, few steamers can produce a good disinfection. Most often, the promise of manufacturers about the presence of this function, the temperature of which should exceed 100 ° C, is a marketing ploy. And for real disinfection, combined steamers are provided. Such devices include the functionality of both a steamer and a steam cleaner, which supplies constant steam with high intensity.
