Tefal Pro Express Ultimate II GV9720

Very good steam station / Iron – This steam station replaces 7 year old model GV8360ZO which had a leak in the boiler would have cost close to a new unit to repair. I have used this iron myself and found it extremely easy and good to use, but my wife is the biggest user by far, using it 3 times a week for half an hour to an hour. My wife's feedback is that the iron is every bit as good to use as the steam station it replaced, and even though the steam capacity and rate is down a little on the original model, it uses it very efficiently and has more than enough capacity for ironing clothes ranging from light to heavy, like jeans etc.

The temperature settings are noted to be very accurate, and the iron itself, even though a little smaller and lighter than the previous model, glides over the fabrics and does a great job. "If you need to do the ironing, which is chore, then you may as well do it with the best tools for the job" and the Tefal certainly fits the bill.

As is generally the case with all Tefal products we have owned, the build quality is very good as is the design. Its easy to use and the controls are not at all difficult to use.

PROS: - Good build quality (Tefal quality is evident in the design and build) - Temperature and settings accurate - Steam capacity and delivery more than adequate - Iron itself is lightweight and glides over the fabrics being ironed - The lock system to hold the iron onto the base is very good, no chance of falling when moved - Good water capacity, water lasts a long time

CONS: - Steam hose storage a little cumbersome - No self winding cable storage (some models have it) which is a bit of a problem for storage - Some may see the size with the water tank is a little bulky, but the water capacity is a +ve
