Ultra Good Iron
I saw this at a wholesale club(cheaper) and bought it after being unhappy with a recent Black& Decker. This iron feels like it is named ..."ultra glide". I had an older Black&Decker that was top of the line with a non stick plate. It finally died after ten years so I bought another non stick Black& Decker. I found the new black and decker to be poorly made and it had issues with sticking and getting starch build up that needed cleaning often. When I saw this T-Fal, I was taken back by the unusual plate surface. It had more holes for steam on the bottom than the black and decker, and almost a glass like appearance on the plate. It is very different from any other iron I have used as it feels like it is just sliding across a shirt. As a result, the fabric tends to straighten easier as you go along and as a result, you don't get accidental creasing as easily while ironing. This makes ironing quicker and less of a chore. This is a huge improvement over other irons as it really is an...

I don't do a whole lot of ironing and I don't enjoy ironing but at least this iron makes the task not so unpleasant.

It's very easy to use and seems to be durable enough to last for quite a long time.
It has a nice shut off feature. The styling looks nice, and is also practical - easy to grip and comfortable to use. I also like the blue color. One reviewer commented that the water tank makes the iron heavy but water is water - you can't get "water light" that weighs less than other water. T-Fal deliberately included a larger-capacity tank to prevent having to refill the iron so frequently. If you feel the iron is too heavy with full capacity then just use less water in the tank to prevent water-weight buildup.
Overall, this is a nicely functioning iron that has an efficient and attractive...
