The Tefal FV9910 steam iron FreeMove has no annoying cables more. This handling is improved, because somehow the cable has always been there again, where you could not use it. The FreeMove even 360-degree turns are not an issue. The installation is simple, you screwed the Easy-Fix system - a kind of screw made of plastic - to the ironing board, the station attached to it and closes it into an AC outlet. Our old iron had to serve for comparison, and even during filling, differences showed. The old man was difficult to fill with its tiny filler hole, and you could almost do not realize how much water because there already is. When FreeMove the opening is larger and thus easier to hit. Never should you fill directly under the tap the device, however. One sees very well the level, but this increases with increasing capacity faster and faster, so you have to watch something at the end, so as not to spill. Then came the part that I have eagerly awaited, namely how quickly the FreeMove is ready for use. Faster than the old iron, anyway. If you set the FreeMove in his station, the green indicator light starts to flash and then displays the heating. After the old iron quite a few seconds was ready, the green LED on the station began and remains lit, showing the end of the heating process to. A few seconds do nothing, you might say, but the old iron has only 1650 watts, while the FreeMove has a whopping 2400 watts. This is probably, along with 500 grams of higher weight, the price for the absence of the cable. The additional mass keeps the temperature just longer and allows the first place to operate without mains connection, but also needs more power for heating. The handling does not suffer, on the contrary, the higher weight is ironing the wrinkles more easily. While ironing, the steam button must be kept pressed on the bottom of the handle; This will probably prevent you always are full steam and cools the device more quickly than necessary. During the breaks, the inevitable from time to time short arise during ironing, that turn the garment, reposition, merge or have to get the next piece of the overflowing laundry basket, the FreeMove should be asked repeatedly to heat up in his station. The charger will flash red and starts beeping when she gets longing for the iron - and this is too cold. Since the rear panel is shaped so that it will stop no good if you're trying to store it upright, it is there anyway back voluntarily to the station back. The reheating is then much faster than it takes to lift a piece of laundry, turn or a new pick up - it takes only a few seconds. Then, the "fun" even continue. I have to wait wantonly until the FreeMove is called from his station and could not tell the difference from the old iron, in terms of heat output. The sole of the FreeMove slides beautifully simple about the clothes and leaves the actually pretty annoying task quickly go out of hand. The burst of steam, which the FreeMove can fire, a steam cleaner makes all honor - respect! For safety: If you really want to get an electric shock to the will certainly create, but not without the help of scissors, screwdrivers or similar tools - with your fingers to get no way to live parts. At the loading station, the places where the FreeMove is logically quite hot. Because you should leave the fingers. But this is no different for all wired iron.
Conclusion: The annoying cables Nobody needs. Without it is much more convenient. Great device. Recommended.
