5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, Reliable, and Built to Perform

A.C. · 7 August 2025

I’m very happy with the Tefal ProExpress Protect Steam Generator Iron. It’s noticeably more powerful than other similarly priced competitors and makes ironing feel effortless. The steam performance and pressure are excellent – more than adequate for even tough fabrics.The build quality is solid and the unit feels robust. It’s clearly engineered with durability and function in mind. The only minor downside is the somewhat old-school design, especially the buttons, which could look more modern. That said, the more flashy, colorful alternatives I’ve seen often disappoint in performance – this one doesn’t.I ended up throwing away a well-known competitor's model that I had for five years, as its performance had dropped significantly and the calc-cleaning method was far less effective than Tefal’s. This unit seems focused on doing its job well without unnecessary "show-off" features – and that’s exactly what I wanted.

Excellent steam generator. I’ve had Tefal for over 30 years and then made the mistake of buying a Philips one. It lasted just over a year and was rubbish so I’m back to my trusted Tefal. Quality product that glides through the ironing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good at its job.

There a various pros and cons with this iron but overall it worked well on first use. It is very good at getting creases out of fabric. Even heavy duty material like duvet covers that have never been ironed before. This was a test that it passed with flying colours.It is it must be said, extremly heavy especially when filled with water and fabric can get quite hot when steam ironing.I was very pleased with the instruction visual, simple and in full colour and uniquely without sounding bigoted I hope, in only English. One would presume the instructions in other countries benifit from the same service. Which is good.It got through a load of heavy ironing very quickly. So much so that I would not dream of going back to my old iron.

My existing one blew up and wanting to stay with same brand, I have bought this one. Its brilliant as a steamer and makes fast work of ironing. The iron is nice and light. There doesn't seem to be a way of having less steam and power so you need to be careful of some delicates and watch your fingers as the steam output is high. Others have said about the water vessel having a sharp edge and its true which is uncomfortable when you refill it. The large vessel is great and I use half tap water and half deionised water which seems to prevent brown staining and the cleaning process is simple and effective. Overall its not a cheap purchase but I would recommend it. I do a lot of dressmaking and it's a godsend for steaming seams and upright steaming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic all round .

Fantastic iron . Well worth the money. Really happy with it and no messing around. Heats quickly, irons well and is perfect for cool items as well as heavy cotton items.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect.

Still in unsure how it manages to transition between ironing linen brilliantly and then ironing silk brilliantly without burning, but I'm impressed nevertheless.Massive amounts of steam and rinse everything faster than my old iron if similar price.

Great iron

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed – lacks control and doesn’t match older Tefal quality

I.H. · 26 July 2025

I purchased this Tefal iron as a replacement for my previous Tefal, which lasted over 13 years and consistently delivered excellent performance. I had high expectations given my past experience with the brand, but unfortunately, this newer model has been quite disappointing.One of the biggest let-downs is the lack of manual control over ironing modes. My old iron allowed me to switch between different fabric settings like cotton, silk, linen etc., giving me full control and precision. This model, however, claims to detect the fabric type automatically and adjust the temperature accordingly. In practice, I found this feature to be unreliable. Clothes, especially delicate or thicker fabrics, were not ironed properly and often required multiple passes or didn’t come out smooth at all.For a premium brand like Tefal, I expected better performance and more user-friendly features. Unfortunately, the automatic temperature system feels like a step backwards rather than an improvement. I would have preferred the option to manually adjust the settings based on the fabric I’m ironing.Overall, I’m quite disappointed with this purchase. It doesn’t live up to the standard set by my older Tefal iron, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others who are looking for reliability, flexibility and consistent results.
