This iron was expensive so I was expecting quality performance. I followed instructions for the first use. The iron was extremely heavy (heavier then the catalogue stated) & bulky to hold comfortably. I found the sole plate didn’t glide easily over the fabric & kept creasing the garment even though the correct temperature was selected. I then ironed a cotton shirt on the correct setting for it. Water poured from the sole plate, soaking the shirt and ironing board cover & the sole plate burnt.
LadyDPersonally I don't really like it, cost a lot of money, our old iron was a lot cheaper and I liked that better. Forget the first 3 settings as you don't get steam and the iron does not get hot enough to iron anything. I always have it on the settings where you can have steam and iron everything on those settings. It gets through the water in no time at all so have to keep topping it up. The steam is a bit excessive even on the lowest steam setting. My girlfriend likes the iron though.
FOGGY1974I only had it for a couple of years and stopped working in the middle of ironing. Very disappointed for a Tefal user
EliknBought this back in March and quite early on I started to have issues with it. Whilst I love the iron itself (it glides well, the weight is perfect, it heats up fast, controls are simple), it spits out dirt, constantly. As soon as I turn the steam function on, it literally poops like an incontinent bird all over my clothes. I don't use tap water, I use proper ironing water, and I give it a clean very regularly. I'm hoping it is just a fault with this particular one as I do really love the iron otherwise. I'm having to contact the manufacturer to see if I can get a replacement.
MissVGreat iron, but unlike my previous Tefal iron, the first time I dropped it (yes, I know you shouldn't but these things happen), even though I broke its fall, it started leaking - won't hold water at all = useless!
Carol LanyonNot good at all , water keeps dropping out from the base , will have to return it
Daniele FragariaGood iron but 3 weeks in and it's already spitting out scale. The descaling feature isn't great. Other than that - well its a good iron. Lots of steam - but it is on the heavy side - more so than my old Tefal. So watch out for that.
Kiki2015The Iron is fine. Received in good order and the merchandising is good. but the iron do drop lot of water. Its not just steam you get but loads of water puddle. Because the water is coming out from steam holes, I rated three. Only in se for last two weeks. so not much to add
A. ChandrakumarThis is a great iron but to heavy for a person with a disability. Having rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis it is heavy.It would help if the weights of the irons was put on the details

1 x Tefal Ultimate Anti Calc FV9630 Steam Iron
1 x Instruction booklet
The Tefal Ultimate Anti-Calc FV9630 steam iron combines power with easy to maintain, long lasting steam performance. Limescale is the steam iron''s biggest enemy. It slowly builds up inside while you iron, gradually limiting steam performance. Tefal has incorporated an innovative ultra-efficient anti-calc collector into its Ultimate Anti-Calc steam iron.
Designed by Tefal, Ultimate Anti-Calc boasts an innovation, the anti-calc collector, that is a powerful weapon against limescale. Thanks to the specially designed steam circuit in the iron, the limescale that builds up during ironing is fed directly into the anti-calc system and collected in a single step. Located at the rear of the steam iron, the anti-calc collector is a removable drawer that is quick and straightforward to empty.
This means the exceptional steam performance of the Ultimate Anti-Calc steam iron does not diminish over time. The powerful 200 g/min turbo shot of steam eliminates stubborn creases, and the variable steam of up to 50 g/min provides effortless long-lasting ironing performance.
In addition to the iron''s steam performance, nothing has been left to chance to guarantee crease free results. The precision tip at the end of the soleplate allows you to iron even the most difficult places. Between buttons, inside pockets and around collars for optimum ironing results everyday. The curved shape at the edges of the soleplate allows for easier ironing especially with back and forth movements.
The United Kingdom is particularly renowned for its hard water, especially in the South of the country. Tefal offers you the advantage to use tap water to fill your iron with the insurance of not damaging your appliance. This easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain iron will allow you to keep your soleplate free from calcium for an optimal use through time.
The Tefal Aquaspeed FV9630 is equipped with the Ultraglide soleplate which provides effortless ironing. The active lines help the iron to glide smoothly over the fabric and offer a superior scratch-resistance for an optimal steam diffusion The raised lines running across the soleplate also ensure excellent heat distribution and reduce surface area resistance for enhanced glideability. This soleplate has been specially made with a built in anti-drip system and boasts extremely scratch-resistant and hard-wearing properties. The vertical steam function is ideal for getting creases out of suits or other hanging garments and can also be used to de-crease curtains.
The Ultimate Anti-Calc boasts an easy to use two-in-one Autosteam control which automatically sets the temperature and steam output by selecting the fabric type. It also features an extra large water inlet for up to 4 second refills: no splash, no spills and no more reasons not to keep on ironing. The FV9630 also has a large 350 ml water tank and the 3m cord length, equipped with Tefal’s Easycord system keeps the cord from becoming tangled up in your clothes when ironing. Safety is a key priority for Tefal. The Ultimate Anti-Calc steam iron provides unrivalled stability with its extra stable large open heel for safer storage and easier ironing. It also includes an auto-off function so there''s no need to worry about whether the appliance has been turned off. If left unattended, the iron will turn itself off after eight minutes when on its heel, and after 30 seconds when laid down on its side or with its soleplate facing down. All Tefal products are supported by comprehensive after sales service for all of your needs.
