Tefal Cordless Steam Iron, Freemove Air, 2400 W, Blue, FV6520G0, 0.25L

Product Information

The most distinctive feature of this novel iron is its appearance. A vintage-style riff on 1950’s domestic gadgetry, it’s both faintly ridiculous and, to my eyes at least, rather likeable. As well as rose gold, it comes in grey and baby blue. But is it a case of style over substance? Important: The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. Which water should I use? Break free from the cord with Freemove! With Freemove, the first powerful cordless iron by Tefal, enjoy all the freedom of movement of a cordless iron without compromise on performance. At 2400W, it offers ironing results equivalent to that of a classical corded iron* Your iron has a built-in thermostat controlling the temperature very precisely over the entire surface of the soleplate. The thermostat dial contains international markers with dots corresponding to three ironing temperatures.

See the instructions for use to find out what type of water is appropriate and clean the soleplate from time to time with a damp sponge. What is the right temperature for my clothes? Cleaning the anti-calc valve: Remove the antiscale valve and soak the valve in a cup of white vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours. I want to remove the water from the tank but there is still a little left. There is not enough water in the tank. Fill it up with the quantity indicated in the instructions for use and push spray button several times to fill the system complete. The indicator light keeps going on and off. After use, empty the tank, close the steam control, set the thermostat to minimum and stand the iron upright or place it on the base (depending on model).

Keep your clothes crease-free and make ironing a doddle with our pick of the best cordless irons

The internal parts may make metallic noises with the change in temperature. There is nothing wrong with it. What should I do if my appliance is not working? It’s fully charged in 11 seconds and will give you around 30 seconds of ironing time at once. When power gets low, a smart light and beep will alert you to the fact the iron needs recharging. We felt that the iron’s charge didn’t last quite as long as some other brands, but this is still a high-quality iron that does an excellent job of zipping over fabrics and removing creases, but perhaps just not the best for big loads. You are not using the right type of water (Refer to the FAQ "What water should I use for ironing?"). Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non metallic washing up pad. For easier, non-corrosive cleaning of your iron's soleplate, use a damp sponge on the soleplate while it is still warm.

This iron has one temperature technology, which means it only has one setting which is safe to use on all “iron-able” fabrics (around 140 degrees Celcius). That means you don’t have to think about it being too hot or not hot enough to be effective, which is a boon. Furthermore, It also offers a useful feature of a powerful steam boost of 130g to remove the most stubborn creases of different fabrics easily.

An affordable 2 in 1 cordless iron with a tower can outperform pretty much any other irons, which are even more expensive than it! This is not only to avoid overheating of the iron or the surface on which it is placed but also to ensure that no-one gets burned. If safety is one of your main concerns, choose an iron that has an automatic cut-off function. All irons contain a thermostat light. It is normal for the thermostat to turn on and off. It indicates the thermostat is working and your soleplate is being maintained at the desired temperature. If the auto-off light blinks, you must disengage the auto-off function. This is done by gently shaking the iron which will allow the iron to reheat. Why did my iron smoke on first use? Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, we recommend that you use a max of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in most shops. This Philips cordless iron is elementary because of its 2400w of power and efficiency, which allows it to easily glide across your ironing board and clothes without the hassle of a cord getting in the way.

The iron’s handle lights up to indicate charging status and takes around 40 seconds to charge from cold. Although it holds its heat for a fair amount of time, it takes a lengthy 25 seconds to recharge once it’s cooled down, which might not be ideal if you’ve got a pile of ironing to get through. You can use the iron vertically to clear creases from any hanging fabrics, like sheets or curtains. The Russell Hobbs Freedom iron has a pleasing weight to it, alongside a well-shaped and slightly larger soleplate. A larger plate means it’s particularly good at dealing with stubborn wrinkles and creases, and this is aided by a 135g/min steam shot, as well as continuous 40g/min steam.

What people are saying

The board should be perforated to allow the steam to pass through the fibres of the fabric to soften it and make ironing easier. The ironing board cover should also be suitable to allow the flow of steam through. The soleplate of my iron is giving off a yellowish colour that is staining my clothes. Important: The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. What does the light indicator mean?
