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.

This Tefal Iron does the Ironing Job very nice and smoothly.
There are lots of program I can choose, whether it is Cotton, Polyester, Linen or delicate Fabric.
Each program has different kind of setting and different Heat to suit the Material.
The water stem makes it very smooth and nice.
Overall, I love this Iron.
I would recommend to buy this Iron.

I bought this iron in october and use it quite often. It has been really good to use. Its relatively light weight for what it is. Ive had no issues with any fabrics.
Only downside is the water inlet as the iron needs to be flat to pour in but when its hot i dont like leaving it flat even for short time.

I bought my Tefal FV5606 a week ago . I did some research before I went and purchased my Iron from David Jones. However, it's only when you get these items home and start using them do you really get to know how the product works. The iron looks good and not too heavy and glides beautifully over your clothes. It has a range of adjustments which allows you to select the heat you need for the fabric you are ironing. It gets nice and hot and I haven't needed to use any ironing aides so that's a saving for me.
It's not all positive, the cor...

The iron looked excellent even before I opened the box. The box displayed powerful steam jets coming out of the iron and that was exactly what I was looking for. The iron did not dissapoint and ironed the clothes in half the time of my usual iron. Earlier, I would have to manually spray water to iron but this iron eliminates the need to do that. Surprisingly lightweight but durable, the iron is definately something I would recommend for busy mums who dont want to spend ages ironing clothes

Picked up at a good guys sale - the previous ALDI iron had been dropped and was leaking as well as some superficial damage - hence looking for a replacement.
First impressions - solid without being too heavy, and with a really large water filling hole. You can fill the iron straight under a tap instead of using a separate filling device. The triangular surround at the heel of the iron provides a stable base (and with a tilting cord) for when you rest it.
In use - glides smoothly and haven't had any sticking issues with the hotplate base (but ha...

Looking for a cheap replacement for the previous iron which seemed to be losing heat and steam as it aged. Settled on the Tefal FV5605 as it seemed to meet our criteria (from the specs on the box) of;

* Reasonably priced
* Auto shutoff
* 2400W heat
* Strong steam
* Not too heavy

Happy to report that this iron appears to have filled the criteria admirably. Heat is more than adequate and my wife is particularly impressed with the amount of steam delivered. It is reasonably light for constant retrieving from a “rest” position to use yet ironin...

I bought this product and use for few times. It is powerful as described however, water in the tank quickly run out. And when it's turned off, water just licked out giving a distressing iron experience.

I've had a tonne of irons over the years. So many irons and all different prices and makes. I didn't think there was anything new, different or better in the world of ironing. This is completely different. It's a whole different ballgame. Ironing is now more enjoyable and more to the point, it's efficient. I go looking for clothes to iron now, it's so fast.

I was very excited to try the Tefal Turbo Pro as I've got a lot of other Tefal products and they are all quite good to excellent (Tefal Cook4me is the best). I was most excited to try out ...
