 A Modern Iron Age July 29, 2009
Spudman (Pasadena, MD United States)

I bought this iron for Mrs. Spudman and she loves it. I've used it a few times myself and must say it feels good in the hand and does a superb job removing wrinkles. So why do "we" like this iron so much?
The T-fal doesn't require distilled water like many other other irons, and the owner's guide actually recommends regular tap water. Lugging home the occasional gallon of distilled water can be a nuisance.
We like the convenience of the nine-foot cord that's much less restrictive than shorter cords on other irons we've owned.
Mrs. Spudman raves about the powerful steam and the awesome ability of this iron to make wrinkles disappear. My quilter wife pressed some pieces of material that had been folded since the Iron Age. Those wrinkles weren't even a challenge for this T-fal.
With a transparent water tank, filling to the correct level is easy. The water inlet hinged lid fits snugly and securely like none we've experienced before. One fills the tank with the iron in a horizontal position.
This is an attractive iron with easily understood and easily read controls. A light comes on when the iron has reached operating temperature and another light stays on while the iron is plugged in and is on.
With its 1700 watts of power I especially like the three way automatic off feature on this iron. It'll cut off after 8 minutes of nonuse in the vertical position or 30 seconds of nonuse in the horizontal position or on its side.
The Easycord system works wonderfully and has to be experienced to be appreciated. The T-fal's design keeps the cord up and out of the way.
The UltraGlide is a comfortable, attractive appliance that glides over fabric almost effortlessly. We like its performance and safety features, especially the very sturdy heel stand around which the cord wraps neatly for storage. So far we have absolutely no regrets about purchasing this iron.
Perfect product! September 4, 2009

I just went through multiple purchases (and returns) of irons ... two Black & Deckers, Panasonic and this T-Fal. Had no idea an iron put out by 'that cookware company' would be the best one!
PLENTY of steam, no leaks, heats up quickly and glides super-smooth.
Only drawback is there's no "on" switch to speak of. You just plug it in. It does have an automatic shut-off if left unattended or tipped over.
NOTE: The Blue iron is Prime-eligible, yet shows a picture of an earlier model. I took a chance and it IS the same design as the Red one!
Get this iron ... it's a great value at most any price.
Best Iron Ever! October 9, 2009

It is such a relief to finally find a great iron! I tried the Black & Decker Digital Advantage and returned it because I had to reset the temperature at least 8 times while trying to iron one shirt! It kept flipping from where I set it (at level 6, cotton, with steam) to level 1. This T-Fal works equally well for right or left handers due to the easy cord system and it glides very smoothly. I iron fast (not because I'm good, but because I'm impatient) and sometimes unintentionally iron in a crease where there shouldn't be one, but this iron takes out those mistakes just as easy as can be. The water reservoir is a nice capacity and there is a feature that lets you set your steam at levels 1 through 3. I set mine at level 2 and ironed 9 shirts in an hour, only refilling it once. There are steam holes on the sole plate all over and not just on the rim which is very helpful.
I was surprised to read that you are to use tap water and NOT distilled water for best results. It is supposed to be cleaned every month but the process does not seem to be too difficult. If it is, I will come back and add to my review.
Love this iron November 15, 2009

When my second Rowenta iron in 4 years began to leak all over my ironing board, I came to Amazon.com to buy another because it was supposed to be the best iron on the market. After reading reviews by customers who experienced the same problem, I began to look at other brands and found this T-Fal Ultraglide. Right price, for sure! I just finished ironing a 100% cotton tuxedo shirt with french cuffs (one of my toughest ironing jobs) and commented out loud "I LOVE this iron!" Lots of steam, light weight, you don't need to go over an area more than once (honestly!) and you can even removed little "boo-boo" wrinkles you put in yourself with a burst of steam at the press of a button. Also works on my linen clothes beautifully. I have not tried it on anything but the blast furnace, full steam setting, so I can not attest to it's ability to deal with silks & delicates, but feel confident in highly recommending this iron.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! November 13, 2009

In an average week my time for ironing is usually a seven hour process. I always use the steam part of an iron, and have gone thru quite a few. This is absolutely the best! I hated all my previous irons where if I wanted a good steam to get out a wrinkle, the extra button had to be pushed constantly. This iron gives out the perfect amount of steam constantly, hardly ever have to use the extra steam button. Highly recommended, would never purchase anything but T-Fal Ultraglide...
