Great iron, glides well, annoying cable-free

published

Whilst the “charging” time initially is a bit of a nuisance, the benefit of having no cord for me is a win that overcomes this. Many complaints about the weight of the iron but actually this helps you reduce the pressure you have to apply on clothes hence making the job actually easier. The interim charges are nice and snappy making ironing en masse still as easy as if you had a corded iron. Initially having to apply the trigger to get steam was a bit confusing and a bit contrary to other irons on the market but thankfully the trigger is nice and light.

Purchased in August 2021 at Harvey Norman for $120.00.

Most useless Iron i have ever used.

published

I totally agree with Lee from Sydney. For 55 years I've been ironing my family's clothes and find this Iron Heavy and a nuisance to attach to the board every time it's used. It glides beautifully over the clothes,but this one positive doesn't make up for the all the negatives. I hope the store I bought it from will take it back so I can choose another brand. Oh i forgot the instructions are a joke I've asked everyone to help me with it and no one can fully understand it. I even went online to check out the instructions but there wasn't any

Purchased in December 2021 at The Good Guys for $139.00.

Heavy and contradictory to a lifetime of ironing practices. Totally unsuitable for purpose.

Good item

This is a good item as it does deliver on what it promises. I however dont like where the spout for the water is situated. It seems its in the way. All up though it cut through my ironing in super time and I am happy with this irons results.

I love ironing shirts now!

published

This one has made my life so easy. It generates huge amounts of steam and Les can be used as a steamer. It’s gentle on all materials and can even be used to own the duvet cover once it’s on the bed. And as the title says shirts pressed in minutes.

Easy ironing

published

I brought this for my 69 year old mother and she swears by it. It makes her get through her ironing so much faster and it is a great product that is easy to use and store out of the way when it is not used. It's even easy to take with you

good product

published

This is a good product when it works, i find if you are ironing a whole bunch of stuff it does not stay to temp for very long. if you are ironing just 1 piece hear and there it is a godsend and very quick but not practical for a whole load of washing maybe only 15 minutes at a time.

The cordless iron is a godsend

published

I have been waiting years for one of these to come out as most irons I've owned the power cords have been super short but with the Tefal cordless makes ironing easy! The charger slot is sometimes hard to put the iron into but once it's in you just charge until the light changes. Really it's like any other iron but without a cord! Which I love

Not as useful as I hoped

published

I got this for my sewing room so I would have some flexibility but I find myself reaching for my old corded iron as this just doesn't do the job I'd hoped. It doesn't seem to get as hot as my other iron and while it's not a huge issue reheating, it does slow things down. I also find the handle very wobbly which makes it feel a bit insecure. I really feel like I've wasted my money with this and can't recommend it at all.

Works a treat and makes it so much easier

published

My iron heats up really quickly and it a pleasure to use. To the point that I had a about 10 customers that would drop off their ironing and I would do all their ironing for them at a small fee, this was a easy and effective way to earn money, plus plenty of potential as not many like to iron, but this iron made it worth it

A great iron

published

This is a great iron that has made ironing so much easier without a cord getting in the way. It heats up quickly and has excellent heat and steam. It irons my work shirts really well. It needs to be returned back to its base frequently (about every 30 seconds) and this can take some getting used to, but I find it’s just enough time to iron a section of a shirt before you need to adjust the position of the shirt anyway. I love this iron and would definitely recommend it.

Good iron but.....

published

So I bought this iron and love it. BUT, there are a few problems. First, this iron is marketed as being designed to take tap water. Please don’t! Despite keeping the ion filter clean, it blows little white chunks out with the steam burst button. Second it is a “no drip” seal. I’m not exactly sure what this refers to but it obviously isn’t what I thought. After I have filled the water canister and close the lid, the spray nozzle has a little squirt! And by using the steam burst button it does also squirt water out of the base so you end up with wet patches on your garments.

That said, it charges fast and having no cord is awesome. The reason I bought it in the first place. It is also a great iron at getting out creases.

Wife loves ironing now

published

After reading some reviews that the iron was too heavy and taking a long time to re-heat I was a little hesitant about buying this iron.
I'm happy to report that whilst it is a little heavier than our last iron it is not overly heavy, besides, the extra weight adds to the efficiency.
It heats up fast and re-heats to maximum by the time you pick it up after moving or turning the garment being ironed. The steam function is strong and efficient without leaks.
This is the best iron we have ever owned, it makes a monotonous job easier. Now the ironing no longer piles up in the basket.

Very poor design

Heat is low
Takes too long to iron as one has to return it back to base for charge
Cant stand it upright
Water tank is small as well
My old Phillips standard iron was fantastic.....no frills just did what it had to do...IRON without any hassles
I don't think this codeless model will work for me!

Totally CRAP Iron!!!

published

I have owned many different irons over the years ranging; Sunbeam, Tefal's, and even two versions of the Laura Star.
Without doubt this is the biggest piece of rubbish I have ever used.
The B-I-G downside constant staining. Nothing to do with temperature or the water. Seems to be reaction between sole-plate coating and any spray starch. CRAP!!!

Disappointing

published

Couldn't wait to get it out and try it, but was very disappointed from the get go. It would only suit someone who has all day to iron, but in this fast paced world we live in I'm sure there would be many disappointed buyers.
It only last for 30 seconds then needs to go back on the base and doesn't heat up enough:(

Could you please tell me the expected life of the battery, in years? Would probably iron a full basket of washing per week.

I have a blinking amber light an no heat. What's up with that? Is there a fix?

Rhonda

The blinking amber light means that you have left the iron too long without using it and it has "timed off". (A safety feature in case you leave the iron and forget about it.) All you have to do is press the grey restart button for a couple of seconds (underneath the flashing amber light on the base). It should then start flashing green and will need to warm up again before you use the iron.

Could you please tell me for the best result how long do i need plugged in before i start to iroing, each time i use honestly i have to ironing faster if not the light indicate change so quick made me feel hate to use it.

When my Tefal Free Move FV9965 Cordless iron is completely cold and I put it on the maximum heat/steam setting, it only takes 1 minute on the charger base to get ready to iron. When the green light stops flashing and stays green, that is when the iron is ready. When the iron light flashes red, you must place it back on the base charger until the light turns a constant green again. For me this only takes 3 seconds, which is about the time it takes me to rearrange the garment on my ironing board.

Ok thank you same as my one it mean nothing wrong with it.

Hi Fun L - As Rhonda said, it doesn't take long for the iron to heat up when it is first turned on, and only takes 2 or 3 seconds to recharge. I find that I still have about 5 seconds of ironing time when the beep sounds - there's still plenty of heat and steam. I reckon you get about 30 seconds ironing time from one charge, and the beep sounds after 25 seconds or so. Hope this is useful...
