Tefal High Pressure Steam Generator Iron, Black & Gold, GV9820G0, Tefal Pro Express Vision GV9820 High Pressure Steam Generator Iron, 2700 Watts

The problem with this steam generator is that when the calc valve needs cleaning, it's hot, and steam comes out of it when you release it. This did not happen with my previous steam generator. It is not very user friendly. The steam is good when you iron, though.

The best of the three different Tefals I owned

This is by far the best steam generator by Tefal . If you look after it well its performance is second to none . I love using it everyday . I use it quite heavily as im a bridalwear seamstress and its constantly used . Cannot recommend this enough . I also got a replacement tank as i cracked mine very slightly by accident. Tefal after care is also good . Spare parts are available online easily .

Bought one 3 months ago, started heavy leaking with dirt after one weeks. I replaced it, same thing happened even worse, requested a return. Absolute waste of money

Aesthetically great! But, even better is the performance, I only have to iron one side of everything, so it gas stormed through a huge pile of ironing. I like the auto steam function- I gave arthritis, so I like that I don't have to press/hold buttons in. The iron itself is also very lightweight, another bonus for my fragile hands! The light I didn't really get, before it arrived. But it is a surprising bonus. My only criticism is that the electrical cord doesn't retract into the base. My other Tefals had this funtion in the past, which was great for tidy storage, but all the other benefits outweigh this. I got this for much less than from other places, so although a little on the pricey side, it was cheaper than I'd seen before.

I bought this to replace my existing Tefal steam generator which was still in good working order but wanted to pass this on to my daughter. Firstly, there is no cord storage for either of the cords, unlike the previous model. The tank is also smaller. The light is a gimmick as is the Smart technology. It leaks on whatever setting you use, so putting away your ironed clothes is impossible, unless you want mould growing on them. Considering how much I paid for this, I wish I had just kept my old model. And to top it all, I am unable to upload a photo because the link isn’t opening to allow camera access. I wish I’d paid more attention to the previous reviews.

This is our third steam generator iron. It is a beast, plus it has a light (don't knock it till you try it). Cuts ironing time in half, it's as if the clothes iron themselves! Excellent bit of kit. Highly recommended.
