Simple, worry-free ironing

Enjoy easier and faster ironing with the Tefal Smart Protect steam iron. This simple-to-use steam iron has just one temperature setting that’s suitable for ironing all types of fabric*, with no risk of burning. So, you can iron jeans and silk safely, one after the other, without having to adjust the temperature or sort your ironing pile. This Tefal steam iron also features the new Durilium Airglide soleplate, providing 33% more glide** for fast and effortless ironing. More active steam holes – at the tip, sides and centre – give you maximum steam distribution for efficient results. It’s renowned for its scratch resistance too, so you know it will stay smooth over time, while the nifty precision tip makes ironing between buttons a breeze. At 2600W, the Smart Protect steam iron heats up fast and delivers up to 40g/min continuous steam to ease crease removal. An increased steam boost of up to 180g/min gets deeper into fabrics to remove stubborn creases in a flash. You can also use the steam boost to refresh hanging garments or curtains through vertical steaming. Rounding things off are an anti-drip function to help prevent staining while ironing, plus an ‘Eco Mode’ to reduce energy use by up to 20%***. For added safety, this Tefal steam iron also turns off automatically if left unattended.
