Advantages: Reduced ironing time
Disadvantages: Very Expensive

...Tefal GV 9150 Protect Turbo Out of all the household tasks ironing is the one I hate and the one I am useless at. So when my iron died a death a couple of months ago I thought I would invest in a steam generator iron. Whilst they are expensive they all claimed to cut your ironing time down by half, which sounded good to me. I opted for the Tefal Protect Turbo as I liked the idea that you could cover it with a hood and put it away still hot, without fear of scorching anything. And also with a small child in the house I also liked the protect function. Having said that I always wait to iron until he is in bed to avoid accidents. . Ok so what's the iron Tefal Protect like? Well there is no picture on Ciao so I will try and describe the iron too you. All steam generator irons are much bulkier than your standard iron... Read review

Advantages: De-creased clothes
Disadvantages: Burnt fingers if you're not careful

...Tefal Ultraglide Easycord 60 I'm a bloke. I don't DO ironing. Well only shirts and work trousers, and the odd t-shirts if its really creased. I've used an iron my gran received as a give-away with a catalogue for years. Recently its been leaking all over the place so I decided it was time for a new one. I may be a little biased with my previous iron, but for £20 with a ceramic sole plate, you can't really go wrong. It's got a large water reservoir and can produce plenty of steam for the type of ironing I do. If you iron lots of thicker stuff it may struggle. I tend to use the instantaneous steam boost when ironing thicker trousers. This gives a good head of steam, but would not be appropriate to use all the time. What else does it do? Errrm, apart from ironing its got a self-clean mechanism (which oddly involves... Read review

Advantages: Continuous steam, 2 minutes heat up, great steam output and great finish
Disadvantages: cleaning required on a regular basis

...far I am on my first one and I have had it 8 months. In my line of work, I tend to have to replace my irons every 5-6 months but so far so good. The only small disadvantage I can think of is that it requires cleaning about once a week although this would not be the norm for a normal household's ironing and would probably need to be cleaned once a month or so. Having said that, the cleaning equipment is provided and it even has a light to tell you when it needs cleaning and it is easy and quite quick to do. All in all I think that this is the best tefal yet and I have bought another two as spares as I would not like to go without it if anything was to go wrong with my current one.... Read review

Advantages: Well constructed, tap water safe, self cleaning function, Anti calcium filter
Disadvantages: slightly heavy

...You may recognise this model as the Tefal Ultraglide Diffusion 80. As we have no picture at present, the iron is constructed of white plastic with contrasting jade green transluscent water tank, filler and anti calcification valve. (quite an eyecatcher!) The soleplate appears to be a cross between coated metal and ceramic. The iron has all the usual function and controls including thermostat and associated indicator light, for selecting various heat settings. There is an additional "shot of steam" button for removing those stubborn wrinkles and the amount of steam produced by the normal ironing process can also be adjusted to suit conditions. The iron also has a spray button to moisten linen prior to ironing. The water filler tank is transluscent jade green with a clearly visible max fill level. The iron is suitable for tapwater use...

Advantages: Reliability of Tefal, top of the range cookware
Disadvantages: None

...I have become a bit of a Tefal lover over the past couple of years, mainly because of the reliability of course, but also for the look. Yes, I know, a typical 'girlie' thing! Amongst my many Tefal products is my set of Integral Saucepans bought for me by my daughter. After I constantly moaned about my previous set of pans that had seen better days, she very sweetly bought them for me from QVC who often have Tefal hours presented by the lovely Annette Baker-Malpas. The Integral Saucepans are the top of the range of Tefal pans and quite simply, the best. As well as the well-known non-stick interior favoured by Tefal, the Integral saucepans, which come in a very attractive slate grey colour - ideally suited for most kitchen colour schemes - they have toughened glass lids, which won't shatter easily, and have steam vents which can...

Advantages: Stylish Looks & Cord Storage In Base
Disadvantages: Care Needed When Pouring Boiling Water

...on paper they did! The cheapest model on the shelf was £24.99 and I wasn't having that. Sticking to my original price and my spirits down I returned to the car. I couldn't go all night without a brew, besides my free Yorkshire tea bags had arrived and being new to ciao I'd pencilled them in as my second review. Tesco are the next nearest supermarket so off I went. The only item in my price range was the Tefal Delphina cordless kettle priced at £14.99. Decision time, did I waste more petrol and travel a fair distance to Asda, or did I buy the Tefal which after all was in the price range I had set myself, even if it was only by a penny? You've guessed it, as I'm reviewing the kettle I bought it. Oversight * * * * * * * * It comes in a box with pictures of the product on all sides. Inside, the kettle and base are individually packed... Read review

Advantages: Great idea saves time
Disadvantages: None

...Well, it had to happen, I suppose. All good things must come to a end, as they say. Our faithful steamer gave up the ghost after nearly eight years of Stirling steaming service. Time, we realised, to buy a new one. We decided to make our purchase of a new steamer at the BBC Good Food Show. After circling round and round the stands and displays several times ("too small, too big, doesn't look quite good enough, no WAY" are we paying that much!") we discovered the Tefal stand. We both fell in love with the Tefal Steam Cuisine Steamer. My comment was: "My god, it looks like something out of Star Trek voyager!" For yes, indeed, the Tefal Steam Cuisine steam cooker does look incredibly funky and very, very modern. It also has, for the amount of food that it can cook, a relatively small footprint. And this is, in the tiny and pokey... Read review

Advantages: Warm water in 3 secs, energy saving
Disadvantages: Doesn't boil water

...The Tefal Quick Cup is a type of kettle, but instead of boiling a whole kettle of water to make a single cup of tea, the Quick Cup heats only the amount of water required, therefore saving energy. Tefal claims that a cup of hot water takes only 3 seconds and I was sceptical at first, but its true. The machine itself is mainly black with a stainless steel control panel on top, and has 2300w of power. The machine is made from high quality plastic, so is easily cleaned with a wet cloth. The water tank holds 1.5 litres of water, and has space for a Claris water filter if required (one comes in the box). One touch of the red button on the top of the machine provides a steady flow of hot water, enough to fill an average sized mug. If you want less, just press the red button again. For more, either press the red button once again... Read review
