The product is great , although the instructions were not very clear and very small print so I had to work it out for myself

Need to do tests on material first
The settings are bang on, but having a previous iron that adjusts to material and this one doesn't..... It instantly burnt my brand new dress as soon as it touched..... recommend reading instructions. Also doesn't come with pourer

Good construction, Has a great iron heating plate which doesn't seem to get stick like others. Gets real hot and is a decent weight. Would buy again.

Value for money Steam iron purchase
We have always found the Tefal products to be reliable and this steam iron is no exception. Has all the features that make it easy to use and the size ensures a good coverage when ironing.

Well priced and does the job well.
I wanted an iron that is a little heavier than some others. I find the extra weight allows the iron to glide through and get the job done with less effort required. Very happy with my purchase.

At a glance
The Tefal UltraGlide Plus Steam Iron is a strong everyday option for households wanting faster heat-up, smooth glide and solid steam power for shirts, school uniforms and heavier fabrics. It suits regular home ironing well, with useful vertical steam and auto shut-off. Its main limitation is that the 0.27 L tank is moderate in size, so larger ironing loads may need refilling sooner than premium models.

- Parents
- Renters
- Regular Ironers
Things to consider
The 0.27 L water tank is suitable for regular sessions, but heavy users may prefer a premium iron or steam station with a larger tank and higher sustained steam output.
Fabric care suitability score
8/10 - Manual temperature control and steady steam make it well suited to mixed household fabrics, including delicate items when used carefully.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - Straightforward controls, smooth soleplate glide and vertical steam make everyday ironing uncomplicated.
Travel friendliness
Best for home use rather than travel, as it is a full-size corded iron designed for regular household ironing.
Safety features assessment
8/10 - Auto shut-off adds an important safety safeguard for unattended use.
Key benefits
- 2400w heat-up: Reaches ironing temperature quickly for less waiting before starting a load.
- Durilium airglide soleplate: Glides smoothly across fabrics and is built to resist scratches with regular use.
- 45 g/min continuous steam: Provides consistent steam output to help remove everyday wrinkles more effectively.
- 165 g/min steam shot: Gives extra burst power for stubborn creases in cotton, denim and linen.
- 0.27 l water tank: Supports regular household ironing without constant refilling for smaller to medium loads.
- Vertical steam: Freshens hanging clothes and curtains without needing an ironing board.
- Anti-scale system: Helps maintain steam performance over time with routine use.
- Auto shut-off: Adds peace of mind if the iron is accidentally left unattended.
Q: Is this iron strong enough for denim, linen and school uniforms
A: Yes. Tefal FV5844 delivers 45g/min continuous steam for regular ironing and a 165g/min steam shot for stubborn creases in cotton, denim and linen. It suits everyday household loads, but very large backlogs may need more refills from the 0.27L tank.
Q: Can I use the vertical steam on hanging clothes and curtains
A: Yes. The vertical steam function can freshen hanging clothes and curtains without setting up an ironing board. It is best for light wrinkle reduction and refresh jobs, not the same as full flat-board pressing for sharp creases.
Q: Does the anti-drip system help stop water marks on fabrics
A: Yes. The anti-drip system is designed to reduce water spotting when the iron is used at lower temperatures. That makes it more suitable for mixed fabric loads, though correct temperature selection still matters on delicate items.
Q: How often will the water tank need refilling during ironing
A: Tefal FV5844 has a 0.27L water tank, which is sized for regular household ironing rather than long commercial-style sessions. For shirts, uniforms and mixed garments, it reduces refill trips, but heavy steam use will empty it faster.
Q: Are manual temperature settings better if I iron delicate fabrics
A: Yes. Manual temperature settings give more direct control when moving between delicate fabrics and heavier items. They suit buyers who prefer choosing the heat themselves, but this model does not add automatic fabric sensing or one-touch smart settings.
Q: What does the anti-scale feature actually do over time
A: The anti-scale system helps limit scale build-up inside the iron so steam performance stays more consistent over time. It is useful in regular home use, but it does not turn the FV5844 into a maintenance-free iron in hard-water areas.
