FV1140T0, FV1140Y0 specifications

The Tefal FV1140Y0 and FV1140T0 steam irons are exemplary products designed to simplify the ironing process and deliver impeccable results. Known for their advanced features and user-friendly design, these models embody Tefal’s commitment to quality and efficiency in home appliances.

One of the standout features of the FV1140 series is its powerful steam output. With a continuous steam rate that can reach up to 30 grams per minute, these irons effortlessly smooth out even the most stubborn wrinkles. For those heavier creases, a turbo steam boost function provides a powerful shot of steam, measuring up to 100 grams per minute. This feature is particularly beneficial when dealing with thick fabrics or layers of clothing, making ironing sessions faster and more efficient.

Another important aspect of the FV1140Y0 and FV1140T0 is the non-stick soleplate, designed for optimal glide over various fabric types. The soleplate is not only durable but also offers excellent heat distribution, ensuring that every inch of clothing receives consistent steam coverage. This helps prevent damage to delicate fabrics while ensuring an effective ironing experience.

User convenience is another highlight of both models. The FV1140 series offers a generous water tank capacity, allowing for longer ironing sessions without the need for constant refills. Additionally, the anti-drip system ensures that no water leaks out while ironing at lower temperatures, preventing unsightly water stains on garments.

Safety is a top priority for Tefal, and the FV1140Y0 and FV1140T0 feature an automatic shut-off function. If the iron is left unattended for a specified period, it will automatically turn off, providing peace of mind and a measure of protection against accidental burns or fire hazards.

The ergonomic design of these irons includes a comfortable handle that reduces fatigue, making them ideal for extended use. Both models also possess a sleek and stylish appearance that will blend seamlessly with any laundry room or ironing space.

In conclusion, the Tefal FV1140Y0 and FV1140T0 steam irons are excellent choices for anyone seeking an effective, safe, and easy-to-use ironing solution. With their powerful steam capabilities, high-quality soleplates, and user-centric features, these models stand out as valuable tools for maintaining wrinkle-free clothing.
