Tefal GV 8500

Advantages: Cuts ironing time
Disadvantages: None

...This is my second steam generator iron and I thought my last one was good but the GV 8150 is excellent. It heats up in about 2 minutes, glides through the most stubborn creases and has a turbo boost button for really stubborn creases.. One of the advantages is that it has continuous steam so you can carry on ironing even if you run out of water, my old iron you had to wait again for it to heat up, also it sis relatively quiet compared to my old one. It has cut my ironing time in half and if you have a family it is well worth getting one, anyone thinking about getting this iron then don't hesitate, you won't be disapointed it a great addition to the family ....

This was time consuming and quite dangerous for the ones who tried to speed the process up(a few minor scalds on my hands on occassions) It also heats up in about two minutes so can be used for a couple of shirts without having to wait forever. It is durable, as so far I... Read review

Advantages: STILL A GREAT STEAM GENERATOR, GREAT FEATURES, GREAT FINISH IN HALF THE TIME
Disadvantages: TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IS AN OLD MODEL IN NEW COLOURS

...As the owner of a small ironing business I have had my share of trial and error with different ironing system. I have, however found that the Tefal range and especially the Tefal pro express GV8150 was the best one I have had. Well, to my surprise, Tefal have got a new version. Just had to get it (well business expense and all) and see if the new and improved version would once again enrich my lonely days of ironing. Decided to order it and wait with trepidation for the delivery(have to get the excitement where you can). Once it had arrived, end of the day as usual, I couldn't wait to try it out so I got some of my own ironing and got going(yes sucker for punishment, I know). All my previous experiences with new versions was always a treat as they always had something more to offer. I opened the box to unravel a very similar... Read review
