I just went through multiple purchases (and returns) of irons ... two Black & Deckers, Panasonic and this T-Fal. Had no idea an iron put out by 'that cookware company' would be the best one!
PLENTY of steam, no leaks, heats up quickly and glides super-smooth.
Only drawback is there's no "on" switch to speak of. You just plug it in. It does have an automatic shut-off if left unattended or tipped over.
NOTE: The Blue iron FV4379003 is Prime-eligible, yet shows a picture of an earlier model. I took a chance and it IS the same design as the Red one!
Get this iron FV4379003... it's a great value at most any price.
FV4379003 Best Iron Ever!
By Kathy Sheets
FV4379003 is such a relief to finally find a great iron! I tried the Black & Decker Digital Advantage and returned it because I had to reset the temperature at least 8 times while trying to iron one shirt! It kept flipping from where I set it (at level 6, cotton, with steam) to level 1. This T-Fal FV4379003 works equally well for right or left handers due to the easy cord system and it glides very smoothly.
I iron fast (not because I'm good, but because I'm impatient) and sometimes unintentionally iron in a crease where there shouldn't be one, but this iron FV4379003 takes out those mistakes just as easy as can be. The water reservoir is a nice capacity and there is a feature that lets you set your steam at levels 1 through 3. I set mine at level 2 and ironed 9 shirts in an hour, only refilling it once. There are steam holes on the sole plate all over and not just on the rim which is very helpful.
I was surprised to read that you are to use tap water and NOT distilled water for best results. It is supposed to be cleaned every month but the process does not seem to be too difficult. If it is, I will come back and add to my review.
