The Tefal Brand

This has 5.4 bars of pressure with a solid steam output. According to buyers this one does a very good job of removing stubborn creases easily. Buyers liked the size of the water tank and also that it could be removed and carried to the tap and filled.

It comes with one anti-scale filter cartridge, but these will need to be replaced to keep the iron working properly. You should consider that as running costs as filter prices are never cheap. A cartridge lasts for about six months and you get another spare one in the box.

It has a vertical steam feature so ideal for steaming curtains. In addition to that, it also has an easy-carry lock and auto-off function for safety.
