Terrible Craftmanship
Fill spout is defective. It constantly flips open.

Nothing good to say
This is a replaccement for the 1700 iron that was extremely nice. This 1800 is horrible. The handle is too fat, there are fewer steam holes and it seems like nothing is coming out, the buttons for extra spray/steam are very hard to push, and it is very heavy. A man must have designed it. I was exhausted after using it. I woudn't recommend it to an enemy.

Good Iron, Sort of
I have several T-Fal irons that I'm very pleased with. This model however would be great also EXCEPT (like mentioned in some of the other reviews) leaks water because of an ill-fitting water reservoir cover. I need a replacement cover but it's not available that I can find. So this great iron I have is unusable.

Loved - not now
Have had this iron for years now and loved it until it started leaking in the handle and the water port latch will not keep closed. Keeps opening up when I am ironing. If they could fix this problem I would love it. Now looking for a new better iron.

Poor construction
Do not purchase. After a few months, the wiring doesn't connect to heat the iron. Wasn't dropped or handled incorrectly at all. T-fal is certainly aware of the problem; there is an addition on the cord to maintain alignement but it's not successful. Of course I don't iron everyday and by the time the problem became apparent, the return dead line had passed.
Super-easy iron to work with
I've had T-fal irons for as long as I can remember. My mother has always liked them and she got me hooked on them purely for their quality, even heat and steam amount. I tend to upgrade when a new model comes out but I've loved this one for a couple years now. I'll admit, I did find a B&D digital control iron and thought I'd give it a try to see if it was up to T-fal's superiority. I tried two irons; one had a bad display board and the other would just not stop smoking. I like the digital aspect of an iron and that's something I'd really like to see T-fal incorporate into their models. The B&D sucked even though they supposedly got high ratings (why? I don't know) I have yet to find any steam iron that lives up to T-fal's quality. Again, T-fal; I'd really love to see you incorporate a digital control into your models, you'd make a lot of people happy. Having said all that, I am very pleased and will continue to purchase these irons. I'm a an avid homemaker and do a lot of clothes ironing and linen pressing.

Best Iron I’ve Owned -
I’ve had this model FV2640 for about 6 years and the only issues I’ve has is with the water fill lid. The water fill lid doesn’t stay closed- probably from repeated use 5 days a week. The steam settings are awesome. My shirts always look as if they just came from the cleaners. I came to the website to see about buying a new filler lid and was shocked at the number of low overall reviews. I was in the Navy for 20 years and wish I had this iron back then. I know the quality of a good steam iron. I love the anti calc feature. I’ve cleaned it out twice ( easy to do). I’m happy to see that the calc filter is an available accessory.

Works for me!
I have had this iron for a couple of years now and it is wonderful. I must say that I am not very good at doing the recommended "cleaning" but until now I haven't had any issues. On the last project (I quilt all the time) I noticed some white specks coming from the steam chamber so I have cleaned out the calc-collector. (mine doesn't have the anti-calc chamber). I expect the specks will be gone and all will be well once again. After owning irons that cost a hundred dollars or more, this T-Fal works as well, if not better, and won't break the bank if I need to replace it
