Firstly, let me state I’m giving a 2 1/2 star rating.
I have been a Tefal Iron user for over 35 yrs +. Have always been happy with their irons and only needed to update when required. Lately, their product leaves a lot to be desired. I cannot totally say the product isn’t great, it’s now becoming just good. I purchased the Tefal Ixeo as a replacement to the Tefal Expert Precision IT9500 which unfortunately didn’t see the year out. (Further review on that item is available on the forum)

There are some positives to the all in one

I bought this because I was looking into steam irons and reading reviews, most people complained about the size of the water tank. My daughter had bought a cheap one and threw it out a few months later. I couldn't find any reviews on this one at the time because it was so new but I was happy with the how-to videos I found. I don't understand why it has poor reviews because I can honestly say it was expensive but worth it. Most of my clothes need ironing. I have loads of maxi skirts. I hate ironing and subsequently I kind stop dressing up and m...Read more

Are you allergic to ironing? Do you have a growing pile of wrinkled shirts? Do your lounge chairs cry out for a makeover? Did poochie go accident on your best sneakers? Do you yearn for an ergonomic ironing experience? If you answered yes to any of these questions, read on. The very steamy Tefal IXEO QT1020 has been getting a lot of exercise over the past 3 weeks and here's what I discovered:

TL;DR: if you want a light iron with powerful steam output to zest up your day-to-day garments, the IXEO is a good choice. If you want to sit down and co...Read more

The Good: Reasonably compact and convenient unit, lightweight iron, steamer function works well, large water tank, attractive design, handy with delicate or awkward clothing.

The Bad: Limited temperature control, squared-off board doesn’t suit ironing certain clothes, consumable filter, power cable could be longer, not cheap.

Short Answer: An interesting iron-plus-steamer station with definite strengths and weakness. Whether it’s worth the money depends very much on your own requirements.

Let’s preface this review with some disclosure: I ...Read more

I've always had a traditional "steam iron", indeed I've gone through quite a number of these over the years. I mainly iron my business shirts - which, since they are 100% cotton, tend to be rather difficult to do properly, requiring lots of spray-on starch and steam to get to look good - and it always took about 20 minutes per shirt.

The opportunity to try out the IXEO brought with it the promise to reduce several hours of ironing per week and give me back some precious spare time.

IXEO comes in a fairly overwhelmingly large box - and in a l...Read more

Never in my wildest fancies did I ever envisaged that I’d be excited about a ‘steamer’ let alone write a review on one, however this product has been sensational in short for a time poor family on the go! Now to fully appreciate this let me clarify, I’m a mere male and in short I’ve never been big on ‘steaming / ironing my clothes in fact I would fully admit that I’m an underachiever in this realm, in fact verging on the ridiculous, relying on dry cleaners and ministers for home affairs and children (mum and wife), however this product has elev...Read more

Overall, it will probably replace my "traditional" iron, it has some advantages, especially for what I use it for, which is business & casual button-up shirts & refreshing my suit. Also good for other items around the house such as furniture cleaning and others I was able to experiment with. The drawbacks are on the annoying side but it does do what it says on the tin.

Positives;
- Fast heat up and easy water refill
- Only 2 buttons and 2 lights on the entire thing to control, easy and simple
- Creases in all scenarios released quickly & easy reach in difficult locations like collars
- The steamer head is light and easy to control, much lighter than an iron
- Easy on the back with the integrated adjustable board

Negatives;...Read more

I was sent this item to review which was quite coincidental because I’d been thinking of getting something like this for quick jobs or even to steam the curtains.

This item is meant to be a ‘garment’ steamer, meaning specifically for clothes I assume, but since it’s portable the first thing I did (after wrestling with one piece of the construction for 20 minutes!) was wheel it over to the curtains. A few creases in them had been bothering me every time I looked at them but I was too lazy to pull them down to iron.

You will need to hold the ...Read more

I had the chance to try out the Tefal IXEO all in one solution and for me it has some good and some really bad. I am not used to this level of unhappiness with Tefal, I own and bought a lot of their products and this one hasn’t been in my good grace.

Please read this review in full as I will explain why the rating and for whom this iron solution will be best suited.

First, the setup is easy enough, no brain twister, it is fairly simple, I admit I had to push harder for one section but I put it on me as I might not have been straight to get it...Read more

If you're using this unit with the ironing board flat and pressing down as you would using a conventional iron, it is very effective on all types of fabrics. If you're using it upright as a steamer, we found it ineffective on cotton. Water tank is a good size for a load of washing. Excellent design and workmanship from Tefal. It would be great if the steamer wand had a little more power with more steam so you don't have to go over the same area a few times. Otherwise, very happy and recommended, especially because it was easy to set up (the ins...Read more

I've never used a steamer before so this was my first experience. I usually use a Tefal Ultraglide iron which I adore but it's great that Tefal have branched out into a product that steams/ irons and has a board all in one.

Pros:
- Assembly is straightforward, I watched the online Youtube tutorial from Tefal and then assembled the product myself.
It took around 10 minutes in total, there is also an easy to understand manual with the box.
- When assembled the product is very sturdy and this is helped by its base which although heavy (it has ...Read more

The Tefal All-In-One Solution unit for ironing and steaming is a remarkably well thought out piece of equipment. My wife owns four irons, including a Russell Hobbs steam power station that she is not that fond of, and was keen to test out this new idea in ironing.

Assembly of the unit was fairly easy and straightforward for me, except for Section 2 Step Number 5 where the board was supposed to "Click" into the two rods. It just wouldn't slide in easily. In the end I had to press extremely hard to get the board in and down the two rods to where...Read more

I am a little split with this product.
On the one hand, it is a good, well made, easy-ish to use product etc but on the other I find it really hard to fathom whether or not it has any actual practical uses over a normal iron with a steam function.

I have never been really big on ironing. In fact, I avoid it where possible, but when it comes time to do it the age old ironing board and a decent iron (see the last review I did on an Ironing product which also happened to be a Tefal under the Ambassador program which we still have) does the trick...Read more

There is a revolution in ironing garments and Tefal has created its new all in one solution. I have been given the opportunity to give a review on the Tefal IXEO to see if it is the key to easing your garments chores and steaming tasks. A product that you can use easily as a garment steamer with an upright board, but with the ability to change the board to a horizontal ironing board for normal ironing.

Assembly

The first test was to see how easy it was to assemble it. I found the assembly of it to be effortless by following the YouTube v...Read more

As someone who does a lot of ironing which needs to be ironed to a military specification when I was informed that I was to be receiving the Tefal IXEO All in One Solution QT1020 to test I was extremely excited.

I currently use a Tefal iron and it is the best iron I have ever used so the prospect of perhaps achieving a similar result in half the time was an exciting prospect.

It seems that this product may be a first to market for Tefal and I think the people in the product development section don't really live in the real world when it comes...Read more

Not so long ago, we could buy drip-dry, wash n' wear clothes, that didn't need ironing or steaming! Who enjoys ironing? Perhaps, my cleaning lady whom I pay handsomely to iron a basket of clothes fortnightly! The question is, could this appliance replace her? No, is the short answer.

It probably seemed like a good idea by Tefal to produce a hybrid ironing centre and garment steamer. It looks smart, is well manufactured, well packed, easy to assemble (if you read the instructions beforehand) but in the end, you are left with a futuristic a...Read more

The Tefal IXEO All in One Solution is a mediocre product at best. I appreciate Tefal trying to please the market by creating an all in one solution, however, it doesn't really satisfy consumers.

Quality Build:
For starters, the prices that is selling for AUD499 is neither worth the quality nor the performance. The ironing board is made of cheap plastic (image attached) so it's always a concern on how much heat resistant is it, and I think Tefal knows this, as the cover is quite thick, and I believe that should provide sufficient protection for...Read more

Disclaimer: I am a ieatwords.com.au Ambassador and will be reviewing the unit provided to me by Tefal.

I'd like to start the review with a secondary disclaimer. As far as ironing goes, I am severely domestically challenged. I despise ironing. The concept, the activity itself and all that goes along with it. Not to mention that I was terrible at it. I have two left hands and never quite get the results I should without spending 10 minutes per shirt. As a consequence I usually have my business shirts ironed by a local dry cleaner, as the cos...Read more
