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!

Very good iron!
I purchased this iron to replace an iron that wasn't working well. I am very happy with the Tefal Ultimate Pure Anti-Calc Steam Iron. So far it has worked flawlessly. Very happy!

Tefal iron
I’m really happy with my Tefal iron. It heats up quickly, glides smoothly over clothes, and removes wrinkles efficiently. The steam function works really well, especially for thicker fabrics, and the iron feels comfortable and easy to handle. I also like the quality and sturdy design.

Glides well uses a lot of water but it leaks and I still get calcium deposits
After about 3 weeks of use I've found this iron great to iron with, however the iron leaks quite a bit of water if you forget to turn the steam setting off. It also leaves white calcium deposits around despite having a filter. My 50 dollar iron seemed to do just a good a job with less refilling, you cannot control the amount of steam let out on this iron so it is constantly on max. For the price I expected a lot better

Great iron, makes the chore easier
Been using this Tefal for a few weeks now and I'm pretty happy with it. The big win for me is the water tank, it holds more than my old iron so I'm not constantly stopping to refill it. That alone saves time. The auto switch off gives me peace of mind too. I've walked away a couple times forgetting to turn it off properly and knowing it'll shut itself down is reassuring. Steam output is solid. Gets through thick cottons and stubborn creases without much effort. Honestly, it's made ironing slightly less painful, which is saying something. Only thing I'd change is the temperature dial. I'm not a fan of fiddling with settings and trying to guess what heat level each fabric needs. Philips have that OptimalTemp thing where there's no dial at all, it would be nice to see Tefal do something similar. Overall though, it's a quality iron. Does the job well and the extra features make life easier. Worth the money if you iron regularly. Rating: 4.5/5

At a glance
The Tefal Ultimate Pure Anti-Calc Steam Iron is a premium household iron built for people who want strong steam, smooth glide and less scale-related mess over time. It is especially well suited to regular family ironing and tougher creases thanks to its 55 g/min continuous steam and 260 g/min boost. Its main limitation is that it is corded and not as compact or travel-friendly as smaller irons.

Things to consider
It offers strong steam and anti-calc performance, but it is less suited to travel or ultra-light use than compact travel irons or cordless specialist models.
Fabric care suitability score
9/10 - Strong steam, smooth soleplate and precision tip make it well suited to everyday fabrics and tougher creases.
Ease of use rating
8.5/10 - Lightweight design, clear water level indicator and comfort handle help make regular ironing straightforward.
Travel friendliness
Low - Best suited to home use rather than travel due to its full-size design and corded format.
Safety features assessment
7/10 - Anti-drip design supports cleaner operation, but it is not positioned as a travel or specialised safety-focused iron.
Key benefits
- 55 g/min Continuous Steam: Delivers strong ongoing steam output to help smooth everyday wrinkles faster across shirts, dresses and larger items.
- 260 g/min Steam Boost: Provides an extra burst of steam for stubborn creases in thicker fabrics or heavily wrinkled areas.
- Durilium Airglide Soleplate: Glides smoothly over a wide range of fabrics to help reduce dragging and make ironing feel easier.
- Micro-Calc Filter Technology: Filters steam to help prevent calc residue or stains reaching clothing during ironing.
- Anti-Calc Collector: Helps capture scale buildup so the iron can maintain performance for longer with regular care.
- 350 mL Water Tank: Supports longer ironing sessions with fewer refills, which is useful for baskets of mixed laundry.
- Precision Tip: Makes it easier to iron around buttons, collars, pleats and narrow garment edges.
- 2.5 m Power Cord: Gives you more reach and flexibility around the ironing board without needing to stay close to the power point.
Q: Is this iron a good fit for regular family ironing?
A: Yes. Tefal FV9849 is better suited to regular home ironing than occasional single-item use, because the 350mL tank and 55g/min continuous steam support longer sessions. It is a full-size corded iron, not a compact travel model.
Q: How well does the anti-calc system help in hard water areas?
A: Tefal FV9849 is designed for homes where mineral build-up is a concern. Its Micro-Calc Filter and anti-calc collector help reduce residue reaching fabrics and slow limescale build-up, but they do not remove the need for regular care.
Q: Will it cope with thick cotton shirts and linen creases?
A: Yes. Tefal FV9849 has 55g/min continuous steam for everyday wrinkles and a 260g/min steam shot for thicker fabrics or stubborn sections. It is built for pressing garments flat on an ironing board, not as a garment steamer replacement.
Q: Does the Tefal FV9849 help prevent water spots on clothes?
A: Yes. Tefal FV9849 includes an anti-drip design to help reduce water spotting when the soleplate is not hot enough for heavier steam use. It can help keep fabrics cleaner during ironing, but correct temperature selection still matters.
Q: Is this model suitable for travel or quick touch-ups?
A: No. Tefal FV9849 is aimed at home use, with a full-size body and a 2.5 metre cord for reach around the ironing board. It is less convenient for packing or very quick touch-ups than a smaller travel iron.
Q: What does the auto shut off do if left unattended?
A: Tefal FV9849 switches itself off if left unattended, which adds a useful safety back-up during busy laundry sessions. The shut-off works after 30 seconds on the soleplate or 8 minutes when left upright.
