Best T-Fal Ultraglide Easycord Iron Deals

Customer Ratings:

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.

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.

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.

Honest reviews on T-Fal Ultraglide Easycord Iron

I purchased this iron based on the Consumer Reports recommendation after my Black & Decker D2020 Digital Advantage stopped heating and I could not find the D2030 to replace it. While this is overall a decent iron, I was a bit disappointed by its performance. I am a quilter so my irons receive a considerable amount of use. However, since the type of use is slightly different than ironing clothing, this iron just did not work well for my needs.

1. The iron must be filled with water while the iron is horizontal. This is fine if you fill the iron before you plug it in, however, if you need to refill the iron in the middle of use, it becomes quite the juggling act to hold the iron off the ironing board, fill the water tank, and try to determine when you have reached the fill line. In my opinion, this is a very poor design.

2. Often times the iron would not produce steam without shaking it. I suspect that this is due to the water tank design. It seemed like I needed to shake the water into the location where it would produce steam. When you place the iron back in the upright position, you can hear the water gurgle as well. When I am ironing in short spurts for a seam or two, I want the steam to be readily available. I do not want to wait for the water to travel through the iron or have to shake it to speed up the process.

The iron does have some nice features. The sole plate is quite smooth and glides over fabric really well. Once the steam starts working, it presses fabrics reasonably well. However, I found it difficult to have the quick, crisp seams given the issues with the steam.

If you're thinking of buying a more expensive iron-say Rowenta-don't. My wife is a quilter and kept complaining about our $15 iron that we had since marriage. It didn't get very hot, didn't steam well, and left marks on clothing as early burn indications. She kept telling me that quilters use Rowenta irons and explained why. So, as Christmas approached, I started looking at Rowentas. There were some common themes throughout my findings: 1. They are expensive. 2. They leak and are unreliable. I found this out by reading several reviews online, reading consumer reports, and seeing multiple refurbished ones at the local Ross store. 3. They are great for the short time that they last, but not worth the price.

This caused me to look at other options. On Consumer Reports I found this T-Fal iron as they preferred pick. I looked for reviews online and there were only a few, but all positive. It is half the price of a Rowenta, so I gave it a try. I have never owned a Rowenta, but I'd bet this iron works just as well, only it has much more quality, reliability, and costs much less.

I honestly thought that an iron was an iron. I no longer think that way. I use this iron daily to iron my clothes before work. It glides so effortlessly and gets all the wrinkles out without applying lots of pressure or staying in one place for several seconds. It creases pants very well and has lots of steam output constantly (3 steam settings to regulate how much you need). And while creasing my pants, it does not burn them, make them shiny, leave white pattern marks, or anything. I don't notice much benefit from the cord manager, but that may be because I am more concerned with performance. Another huge benefit...this iron does not need distilled water. You fill it with regular tap water!

You probably want to know what my wife thinks of it since she was the one I bought it for. She loves the iron. She is not mad at me for not getting the Rowenta she had her eyes on. Anyway, I have yet to find any real cons to go against the pros. This is a great product. The only cons I could come up with are: 1. If you use the steam a lot, be ready to fill the water tank often (however, since you just use tap water, this is not a big deal at all). 2. The shape at the base is unique and functional, but it doesn't work well with resting trays at the end of the ironing board.

So, Ditch the idea of higher priced brands because it isn't worth it. Don't believe me, check the online consumer reviews. There are plenty to substantiate my claims. Good luck.
