Hi, I need to replace my old model of Tefal Steam Iron. I bought Tefal GV9230, but I returned it. First of all, after 30 minutes of ironing, it starts leaking/drooping. Another issue I have is "intelligent" temp control. Looks like the plate never gets hot, properly hot for ironing bedding or jeans or linen clothing. I'm considering buying GV9071 or any other decent steam iron with temperature control and a non-drooping plate. GV9071 has temperature settings, but what about water drooping? Have you found any issues? Can you recommend any other model/brand and model?
Hi Robert. If your iron was leaking from the start and not heating to full temp then it sounds as though you received a faulty one. I find the Tefal’s reliable and long lasting. We had to replace a fuse in our last model when the iron stopped heating up, but otherwise no problems.
Hi and thank you for this video which helped me to choose the right product. However I have a question now. I bought the same model recently and was wondering about the continous steam output which you mentioned in the video (120g/min). I do not hear or see any steam coming from the iron without pressing the steam burst button. So it seems like it does not have the continuous steam output? Could this mean that its faulty or have I misunderstood something? Thank you very much in advance!
Hi. Continuous steam is a feature of this model when the iron is in use (I.e not upright or on the station). I don’t hear it on mine either unless I hit boost, but you should follow up with the manufacturer if you have technical questions or issues with the way the iron works. I’m still really happy with mine : )
Thank you for the reply. I am happy with the performance but I was just confused about the continuous steam feature since I cannot see or hear any steam without pressing the button. "Ordinary" irons for example have maximum of 120g steam burst when you press the steam button on them and you can hear and see that 120g of steam. Let me know if you get a reply from Tefal!
@@thehonestchannel Have you maybe received a reply from Tefal? Can we even expect to get a reply ever from them? Not sure how much are they customer oriented. :)
Hi. Thanks for watching. Yes, I think my cord (between the unit and the iron) definitely heats up so that’s normal, and the base feels warm too but not very hot. If you think yours is overheating it would be a good idea to contact the manufacturer.
@@thehonestchannel thank you for quick reply:), I bought Tefal GV8460 about five years ago and it’s now not steaming so planning to buy a new Tefal iron 💨🥌
@@iraQ9992 Is the iron part heating up? Before you buy a new one would be worth investing the problem and seeing if it’s easily fixed. For maintenance you have to release the anti scale valve on some of the models to clean. It would be worth googling
@@thehonestchannel thank you for the piece of advice 😘, well... my iron is working fine but the steam is not coming out, the anti scale valve is stuck and the red plastic broken :(, another question for your iron please is setting it on Synthetic would give you a good heat ? I didn’t like the idea that I have to adjust it every time I need to do ironing also I wish the water tank has handle like my old iron so it’s easy to remove it then carry and refill ❤️
@@iraQ9992 I find the lower heat settings do work okay, but for ironing cotton sheets etc you get a better result with the cotton setting. I know what you mean about the water holder. Overall though it’s a great iron

Michelle S Yes! I’m trying it at Easter when Nurse Rachel is back in town so we’ll do a joint video on it then. She has done it on herself and has a lovely natural result.
Ive been using it for 7 years now,never had problems,love this iron ❤

On my way to iron for the first time with this iron. Thanks!☺️

Just to let you know we’ve contacted Tefal to request more info on the continuous steam. Will update when I hear back.

Clare thanks for such good review.
Thanks for your kind words :)
Can I put the iron back on the base while im ironing, it's platic right won't it melt ?
Yes, you can rest it in its crib.
Hey
Thank you for sharing this.
I have bought the model gv9550 but after one min of use the device switches off!
Could you please give me your help?
It sounds like there might be a fault. I would email or call Tefal customer services.
Hi, im thinking about a new Iron or iron system. Do you know Laurastar?- im Wondering If Laurastar ist even better or worse than the Tefal.
I’ve not heard of Laurastar so I can’t give you a view, I’m afraid. I can say the Tefals are very reliable - if a little on the large side!
@@thehonestchannel thanks a Lot die yout answer
Hi, thank you for the review. Is it normal for the appliance (main unit) and the cord (not the plugged one) to become warm while ironing? Thank you.

The Honest Channel Many thanks for your reply. It is not overheated but I will keep an eye on it.
Would u recommend the GV9543 model ?
I’ve only tried this model but it’s a reliable make. This iron is still going strong with No issues.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Do you have the drain the water after each use?
No, you only need to do that infrequently
@@thehonestchannel Thank you!
Is this iron still working fine after nearly a year now ?
Yes, absolutely no problems at all : )

Really you should use deionised water so no limescale buildup
We have very soft water where I live so no limescale : )
What is the BEST IRON. ???
I haven’t tried them all so couldn’t give you a definitive, but I think this model is a good value option and it works really well.
stirovap 300
How fast can u heat up a tortilla on the iron?
😂
too many ads!!!! :(

Hi would you be going to try out profilho injections at any point, that would be a very interesting video 🙏🤩

@@thehonestchannel brilliant I will look forward to that video 🙏
Model no lütfen
all these plastic home irons are rubbish. get yourself the all stainless Italian Diana". Battistella brand. Very serviceable and cheaper.
