Back to ironing
The product has been good so far. Love the heaviness of the iron and I feel that I am holding something substantial, I have never had this brand before as I would stick to the brands that I know. Glad I made this choice.

Great Iron
This iron is amazing! It saves so much time, and I honestly wish I had bought it sooner. One stroke is all it takes, and it irons perfectly. Makes ironing so much quicker and easier!

Weight of the iron
I have found this iron to be quite heavy. Happy with its features but it is quite a bit heavier than previous irons.

Even better than our first Tefal iron
It wasn’t a good feeling when our old Tefal iron hit the tiles after falling from the ironing board. A new iron was needed and after diligent research we had narrowed the selection to the Tefal and the upmarket Philips. Comparing both in store made us realise that the Tefal was heavier but notwithstanding we bought the Tefal and could not be happier. It is a dream to use and does not require multiple passes across the item being pressed to produce a perfect result. Best iron we have ever owned!

At a glance
The Tefal Ultimate Pure Anti-Calc Steam Iron is a full-size iron built for households that regularly press shirts, uniforms and everyday laundry. Its strong steam output, large 350 mL tank and anti-calc collector make it a good fit for consistent home use. The main limitation is that its larger, corded design is better for home ironing than compact storage or travel.

- Regular Family Laundry
- Tackling Stubborn Creases
Where it works best
- Home Laundry
- Apartment Living
- Family Households
- Shared Homes
Who it’s for
- Busy Households
- Parents
- Professionals
- School Families
- Regular Home Users
Things to consider
It offers strong steam and maintenance features for home use, but a compact travel iron or a steam station may suit users needing easier portability or higher-volume ironing performance.
Fabric care suitability score
8.5/10 - Strong steam output, anti-drip protection and a smooth soleplate make it well suited to everyday garments, shirts and thicker fabrics.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - The comfort handle, 2.5 m cord and large 350 mL tank support easier handling and fewer interruptions.
Travel friendliness
Low - This is a full-size corded iron intended for home ironing rather than compact packing or frequent travel.
Safety features assessment
8.5/10 - Automatic shut off adds an important safety safeguard for everyday home use.
Key benefits
- 55 g/min continuous steam: Delivers steady steam output to smooth everyday creases across regular household loads.
- 260 g/min steam shot: Gives extra burst power for stubborn wrinkles in thicker fabrics.
- 350 mL water tank: Supports longer ironing sessions with fewer refills.
- Precision tip: Helps reach around buttons, collars and seams more accurately.
- Durilium Airglide soleplate: Glides smoothly over fabric for more even coverage during ironing.
- Anti-drip system: Helps reduce water spotting on garments while ironing.
- Anti-calc collector: Designed to minimise limescale buildup over time and support ongoing performance.
- Automatic shut off: Adds extra peace of mind if the iron is left unattended.
Q: Is this iron suitable for big weekly ironing sessions at home
A: Yes. Tefal Ultimate Pure Anti-Calc Steam Iron has a 350ml tank and 55g per minute continuous steam for longer runs of shirts, uniforms and mixed loads. It is a full-size corded iron, so it suits home laundry better than travel use.
Q: Does the anti-calc system mean less maintenance over time
A: Yes. The anti-calc collector is designed to minimise limescale buildup, which helps the iron keep steaming consistently with regular use. It still needs routine care, because anti-calc helps reduce scale rather than making the iron maintenance-free.
Q: Can it remove stubborn creases from thicker fabrics easily
A: Yes. FV9849 delivers 55g per minute continuous steam and a 260g per minute steam shot to work through heavier wrinkles in thicker fabrics. It is designed for household ironing, not for repeated back-to-back use in a commercial setting.
Q: Is this a cordless iron or a standard corded model
A: It is a standard corded iron. The 2.5 metre cord gives more reach around the ironing board, but this model is less compact and less travel-friendly than a smaller iron intended for packing or quick touch-up jobs.
Q: Will this iron help reduce water spots on dark clothes
A: Yes. The anti-drip design and anti-scale features are intended to reduce water marks and mineral residue reaching fabric during ironing. Any steam iron can still leave moisture if the soleplate is not fully heated for the chosen fabric setting.
Q: What happens if you leave the iron switched on
A: FV9849 has automatic shut off, so it is designed to stop heating if left unattended. That adds a safety back-up during busy ironing sessions, but it is still a corded appliance and should be switched off after use.
