Tefal TurboPro FV5605

This iron is a dreadful product - short cord and it continually turns itself off and then spews water all over the clothing causing it to stain. Very frustrating. Would never buy a similar product in the future.

Forgot how much I hate Tefal irons and accidentially bought this after a decade of using other iron brands. I got suckered into it being made in France. Equipped with a short (circa 2m) cord and it automatically turns on the standby mode even when I've turned my back for 30 seconds to put a shirt on a hanger. Only way to get it off standby is to turn it off the wall and on again, then it proceeds to spew water from the hot plate. Purchased from DJ's for approx $120. Would get a better result from Philips or similar less expensive brand. Promise you'll be equally disappointed - stay away.

Have always purchased Tefal irons and expected the same quality out of this model but was left extremely disappointed. After only 3 months of use the iron started dripping water excessively. It would go into standby (auto shut-off mode) after placing the iron down for less than 20 seconds and then proceeded to drip water once i picked it up again to use. Would have to constantly turn it off and on again at the switch to reset, which was very frustrating! Will be taking it back for a return. Would not recommend this at all. Has left me very wary of Tefal irons from now on.

Purchased this iron 4 months ago, after having a Phillips iron for 8+years. The ironing plate is very smooth and gives a great result. Problem is a very short cord which is restrictive. Also the stand/base will not fit into the ironing board stand, meaning I have to have a nearby table on which to place the iron when ironing large items (sheets etc). I also find the Spray button in a very awkward place right at the top of the handle. I find I am continually spraying water/droplets when I put my hand too high on the handle. The ironing quality makes up for most of these issues, but I would seriously consider going back to the Phillips next time.

This iron switches itself off all the time even when I’ve only ironed a couple of items, and then splatters water everywhere. Have to switch off and restart. I am very dissatisfied. I would not recommend and regret purchasing it.

Started off really good,now it turns itself off after ironing one piece of clothing abd I have to turn it off then on again.really annoying,wouldn’t buy this brand again,really disappointed

One short coming cord is way too short, made in France not China, old Tefal died so got another one, great iron not too heavy works well, works on all fabrics, easy glide over clothes, good steam output & heats up quickly

Great iron - well worth the $$ - have only had a few days but love it! The large plate glides effortlessly over all fabrics and I love the tip (which is narrower than my previous iron) for getting into between buttons and under / on collar corners, into seams etc. I've used it on all fabric types now with steam function on and off -- it really does make ironing a breeze. Not heavy to hold for prolonged periods either.

I agree with a previous reviewer that for some reason it makes a significant hissing / popping noise when the water tank is full. The steam literally hisses into the air for a bit on being stood back up. If you can forgive it this quirk, it's an absolute pleasure to use.

Solid product which heats up quickly and is smooth. Had some white residue spitting out during second usage after following instructions carefully. Comfortable to use, trigger placement of steam button works for me.

This iron makes a spitting noise every time I stand it up. Very noisy ! Forget ironing with someone else in the room.The other bad feature is the turbo boost button on the handle. It is exactly where I would like to place my hand so I have to concentrate on holding the handle lower down. Very uncomfortable. As for ironing, it is very good and removes all creases.

This is without doubt the best iron I have ever used. It almost makes ironing a pleasure!! My linen shirts have never been easier to iron or look as good. Thank you Tefel

How do I stop my FV5605Z0 steam iron turning itself off whenever it feels like it? To re-start it I have to turn it off and on at the wall. In which direction do I need to move it to turn it back on without having to turn it off at the power point. Not impressed with this iron at the moment.

After two unsuccessful experiences with two brand new Kambrook irons bought early this year (no longer made but still in stock), I called a repair agent to ask what brand of iron I could buy that was reliable and repairable. He suggested Tefal, so I bought a Tefal Turbopro after reading good reviews on this site. And yes - it does have three screws on the base (not the plate) unlike most others where these are covered up. This was the cheapest Tefal I could find by the way - I think I paid about $89 on special from Myers. This iron seems to ...

Very easy to use and deals effectively on all kinds of fabric with steaming capabilities
Easy to clean and refill water
Only drawback sometimes water get leaks from iron still confused whats the reason for this

I purchased this iron after my other tefal died and i must say i am super impressed.

The iron has a sleek smooth silky hot plate which glides over any garment nice and easy. It has a stack of different ironing modes for cotton, polyester, Linen etc. I love the fact it has a Extra Large water tank as i like to iron my clothes in one bulk lot, it means i only have to fill up the water compartment once and thats on full high pressure steam setting!

The iron looks great to look at and comes with a water jug which is always handy.
