Bought this Iron 2 months ago. Irons my husbands's shirts perfectly but it is a bit risky to iron more delicate fabrics with it. Burned one of my shirts, so I have learned to not use steam when ironing these sort of fabrics which is painful as it does not do a good job without steam.
Sometimes the water comes out of it and it makes strange noice after 10 minutes of working.

Iron heated up ok, worked well on cotton and synthetic material, then tried silk shirt, huge mistake, rippling creases up the shirt sleeve. As others have said, hisses and steams a lot when standing upright. Thought automatic was too good to be true. Would have been great to iron different fabrics without needing to change the setting.

All previous irons that I had always damaged ny clothes...cue in the fact that i always forgot to put a protector or use an iron board. so through tonnes of research, I decided to buy this iron and the result was very good. It irons my clothes perfectly and quickly and even tho i forgot to put a protector when first using it...it didnt damage my clothes.

I replaced my 7year old Sunbeam with this iron! Huge mistake!!!! I gave it the benefit of the doubt, six months on it is still spitting out water and a white powdery substance all over my clothes!!! Won't be investing in another Tefal iron anytime soon. My neighbour had the same iron and it had the same problem...she threw it out.

I am so disappointed with this iron. I used it today for the first time and will be taking it back to the retailer tomorrow where I will hopefully get a full refund. It hisses and spits like a demented dragon. The cord is too short. It does an inadequate job when ironing cotton business shirts and cotton pillowcases, leaving visible creases in its wake. I was keen to try this iron because it is made in France instead of China, and it liked the idea of not having to adjust the temperature. As I said, very disappointed.

It irons great. When I first used it white powdery specks came out of the iron onto all the clothes for quite a while. It has finally stopped. It is very noisy and the water needs constantly refilling, irons about six items and then needs changing. Is this all normal? Other than that it does cut ironing time in half.

I saw the great reviews, but as soon as I switched it on the water flooded out of the hotplate and soaked my ironing board. The big yellow label on the cord said to ring Tefal and NOT take it back to the store. I rang them and they said "oh dear, take it right back". I really don't seem to have any luck with Tefail items.

I have just purchased this iron and have to say I have instantly fallen in love with it. Voted as the top mid-range priced iron on another website for 2017, I decided to purchase this one and glad I did. No heat settings to adjust and it does a great job of ironing different materials. The water gauge is easy to see and it has auto turn off if not using. The stand and all other buttons (steam and spray) are well designed. With a 2 year warranty you can't go wrong. Very happy.

Iron heats fast, very happy no temperature control to worry about, spray is wonderful, especially if I iron a grease into garment, iron automatically a just to different fabrics. I followed heating and cooling requirements. Not heavy to iron when full of water.
I am very happy would recommend this iron, great value. The only hiccup is the shot of steam nob is under handle and I sometimes press it by mistake. Can live with that great iron.

It heats up quite fast, temperature control is adequate and steam feature is practical, the only issue I am having with this iron is the length of the cable. It is too short, I always find some 20 cm more in cable length would make ironing easier. For now, I always have to move the iron table so that the iron can glide as the length allows.

The Tefal 2400 W Smart protect iron is a nice purchase. It heats up effortlessly and quickly and can be used for a variety of fabric types without burning and does not require a setting adjustment. It glides easily over the clothes and the ergonomic design of the handle allows for maneuverability. Also has an auto OFF function if you have to leave it for a time. The steam functions efficiently and reservoir is OK. The iron is a bit plasticky however and is lighter than the older types so you may require a little more downward pressure for some items.
