The device is first times remarkably easy. Many steam iron reviews must read that the user device is too heavy. I have thus generally no problem, because I think a certain weight for a reasonable ironing result simply necessary. The cable is long enough, the tank with 270ml capacity in the range of the usual 2 meters. The filling is facilitated by the very large opening. The amount of steam can not be selected. Tefal talks of automatically adjusting the amount of steam to the soleplate temperature. Well, somehow logical that at lower temperatures, less steam is produced, but we can Tefal times in the belief that we consumers perceive as the "Automatic".
The iron works surprisingly well. The sole glides easily through the fabric, the laundry is fast smooth. In connection with my very good board of Leifheit I need sleeves of shirts to iron usually only from one side. This does not create any iron and is probably due to the rather large amount of steam, which generates the Tefal device. With a water filling I still get so 6 to 7 shirts far. This is normal for such a device. With a generator iron one may of course do not compare.
The unit fits comfortably in your hand. The handle is also suitable for large hands. The steam button below the handle and is operated with the index finger. I usually do not like that, but here accidental operation is still largely excluded.
Now to the point, why I pull a star:
The manual is a joke! Instead of a reasonable text to write with additional illustrations, Tefal with the device in a folder with lots of little pictures and no text. Honestly, I read normally any guidance of my electrical appliances, but here I have left the desire for a short time. That is the purest picture puzzle. Today I have the instructions grabbed me again, because I wanted to know how you have to descale the iron. On one hand, one should obviously even pull out a month, the steam valve and this place for four hours a glass of water next to the half a lemon is out :-), on the other hand the iron heat up also once a month, remove the steam valve and a sink and forth swing. The latter I know something like that by other devices. But one should both perform well or alternatively both measures now? Together they would be a significant effort that I consider in my medium-hard water for more unnecessarily. You can not explain rationally and clearly in a few words mean?
Second, my unit is processed not inspire much confidence. Between the housing parts gape sometimes quite large gaps. From one of the ironically what of "High Precision" is, I uploaded a pic.
Overall, the device does its job very well. Those looking for a lightweight iron and gladly solves puzzle photos, here gets a great device that also delivers great results. I miss just a little love - on the one hand in the processing, on the other hand in the design of the operating instructions.
