T-FalIron, Ecomaster Steam Iron for Clothes, Ceramic Soleplate, Eco-Friendly with Steam Trigger, 1400 Watts, Anti-Drip, Ironing, Programmable Steaming, Blue Clothes Iron, FV1742U0

I researched irons extensively before I bought the T-Fal Express Steam +. It’s super easy to fill, unlike some irons with a small water inlet, you can do it right from the sink and the manufacturer recommends NOT using distilled water as I’m used to, but states the iron operates better with tap water. It has a calc cleaning process that eliminates scale if used monthly according to the manual. The iron heats very quickly, makes loads of steam and if used properly, doesn’t leak or spit water. Dress shirts appear starched, even when you don’t use starch because the iron presses that well. The turbo steam button puts out very strong bursts of steam if needed. The sole plate really is made to glide smoothly and easily over the fabric and it does. The only thing I wish was different was the instructions on the steam function. There is a toggle switch that appears to have three settings: steam , no steam, and a third option which appears to be a setting for “extra steam” according to the manual. The problem is you cannot switch the toggle to that extra steam setting, you can slide the toggle over and then it slides back if you release. I thought I had a malfunctioning unit because of this. The problem is if you want to choose that option, you have to hold your thumb on the toggle switch while ironing. Not a big issue but it would have been better to just be able to leave the toggle on that setting. All in all, that is a minor quibble as this iron is amazing and a great bang for your buck at a very reasonable priced compared to the expensive irons on the market. Can’t go wrong.

I have a really old T-Fal steam iron that still works, but it got dropped and the water tank cracked. The tank got repaired with super glue, but I felt it was time for a new iron and bought the T-Fal Ultraglide Plus. It is a heavy iron, but it does what it promises to do. I also had a bit of condensation and water drops in the tank, but the box flap said that was because they test the iron at the factory. This iron was not built to be completely empty of water that was put into it, so this is just like my other T-Fal. While I like the color and the features of this iron, I don't like the instruction manual nor the absence of a water cup. I still have my cup from my last iron,so I am set. But I know that doesn't help first time users. The instruction or user manual to me is worthless. I have had a picture only user manual for my other T-Fal iron, but that one was really easy to understand and read. This one with the new iron is hard to see what is what and the pictures do not make sense. But what I found is if you go to the T-Fal website (T-FalUSA.com, and look under this iron model, you will find all the safety and how to use instructions. They have a detailed FAQ lists, and these are simple to understand!)

I had to replace my shark iron I've had less than a year that all of a sudden just quit working...and after contacting Shark they suggested I replace the cord?Why should I have to replace anything its less than a year old!!!! I found this beautiful T-fal,,,loved the color!!! I's so pretty and the soleplate is amazing!!!Esy to fill, I suggest using a cup measure and distilled water only. I filled this up it heats up in seconds, stays hot doesn't leak or seep water at all and is surprisingly not real heavy considering the size. Esy to manuver. great price recieved it in 2 days packaged nicely! I would give it 10 stars for sure!!!!If you iron enough to justify having a steam iron for material, this iron is perfect!Best so far!!!********

A little heavier than the iron I'm replacing yet smaller?

The iron works wonderfully with no leaks plenty of steam and heat to iron anything necessary! Speaking for ourselves we are very content!

The media could not be loaded. I have been using Tfal irons for a decade , and this one was an upgrade to my old one that just shut down after 10 years of use. I would not recommend this iron, I used it maybe 10-15 times and now it leaks every time when I use boost steam button or just ironing without steam. I make clothing on professional level and this is not acceptable, I can’t iron a seam without it leaking all over the garment; since I work with silks and fine bridal fabrics any leak will show as a yellow stain on the dress. I’m very disappointed and now myReturn window is closed and I can’t get a replacement nor my money back. You can see on video how it won’t stop steaming and one picture is that when entire tank leaked out on my ironing board. The only good thing about this iron is the durilium sole plate which was one of the reasons I stick with Tfal products. None of my other iron ever leaked like with one does.

Great nonstick plate. This one replaced a 10 year old version that did a great job also.

I purchased the T-fal Economaster steam iron after having the $45, 1800w model temperature dial fall out after 3 months of light use. Customer service is awful. This version is a small, lightweight iron. At 1400w, it produces a decent amount of steam and does the job. However, the 6 ft cord is much too short unless you are right next to the outlet. Using an extension cord only creates more cord issues. My iron started shooting calcium flakes right out of the box. Doesn't hurt the clothes, just creates a mess. I am hoping this corrects itself after more use.
