FV1230E0, FV1230G0 specifications

Tefal, a brand renowned for its innovative kitchen appliances, has introduced the FV1230G0 and FV1230E0 steam irons, which stand out for their efficiency and user-friendly features. These models are designed to simplify the ironing process while providing exceptional performance.

One of the key features of the FV1230 series is its powerful steaming capabilities. With a steam output of up to 30 grams per minute, these irons can tackle even the most stubborn wrinkles effortlessly. The concentrated steam boost can reach up to 90 grams per minute, allowing users to penetrate thick fabrics and heavy garments with ease. This impressive steam output helps cut down on ironing time, making it ideal for busy households.

The FV1230G0 and FV1230E0 are equipped with Tefal's Durilium Technology, which is a non-stick soleplate that offers excellent glide over fabrics. This technology not only ensures a smooth ironing experience but also enhances durability, making the soleplate resistant to scratches and wear. The result is a long-lasting performance that enhances the overall efficiency of the iron.

Additionally, both models feature an anti-drip system that prevents water leakage at low temperatures, reducing the risk of water stains on fabrics. This feature is particularly beneficial for delicate materials that require careful handling. Moreover, the anti-calcium feature ensures that the steam vents remain free from lime scale buildup, prolonging the life of the iron and maintaining optimal steam performance.

The ergonomic design of the FV1230 series includes a comfortable grip and an easy-to-use handle, allowing for extended ironing sessions without strain. The power cord measures a generous length, providing flexibility and ease of movement during use. Furthermore, the 2200-watt power rating guarantees a fast heat-up time, meaning you can start ironing in no time.

Both models also come with a vertical steaming option, which is perfect for garments that cannot be laid flat, such as suits and curtains. This versatility adds to the overall functionality of the FV1230G0 and FV1230E0, making them suitable for a variety of fabrics and use cases.

In conclusion, the Tefal FV1230G0 and FV1230E0 steam irons are excellent choices for anyone seeking efficiency, ease of use, and advanced technology in their ironing routine. With their powerful steam output, durable soleplate, and convenient features, these irons are designed to tackle any ironing task effectively.
