Get ready to love ironing: Tefal proudly presents the ALL IN ONE system
After a month of thorough testing from all angles and with all types of fabrics and clothing, I have decided - until they invent a machine that can wash, dry, iron, and fold itself - this is my iron!
Ironing!
One of the most tedious tasks in every household. Piles of clothes waiting to be ironed after laundry, make me want to invent a futuristic machine that can do it all - from washing and drying to ironing and folding. If such a machine existed, we would gain a few good hours every week, and my happiness index would skyrocket.
Until my big dream comes true, I adopt every product that can help with the daunting task related to laundry; from a vertical iron that I returned before I was ready to write about it (a waste of my work and a waste for someone to spend their money on it) to a clothes steamer (not bad at all) and even a combined washing machine with a dryer or a laundry tower that combines both functions - promising options waiting for my upcoming test. This time, maybe to create a fair experience with the aforementioned iron without mentioning the brand name, so as not to ruin its reputation, I chose to test the ALL IN ONE iron from the TEFAL brand - in short, I fell in love hard. Right after the technical details, aside from the what and how.
Niufan, the leading importer of electrical products in Israel, promises a revolution in the world of ironing and presents the smart system of the Tefal brand, which includes a powerful steam iron combined with a built-in ironing board, compact and flexible for comfortable ironing of clothes and curtains with the option of horizontal, vertical or 30-degree angle use.
The innovative IXEO POWER ALL IN ONE ironing system utilizes Smart Protect technology, which ideally adjusts the temperature for all types of fabrics, combined with high steam power and maximum steam output, a combination that provides an additional advantage for the ironing function - refreshing and sanitizing fabrics over time.
The steam power and suitable temperature in the ironing process cleanse and reduce odors and even eliminate up to 99.9% of the bacteria that accumulate between the fibers. The iron is ready for powerful use within a minute of ignition, and the iron head is uniquely designed with Precision Tip, allowing precise ironing even around buttons and collars, small areas that a standard iron has difficulty reaching.
The system comes with built-in wheels for easy movement from place to place throughout the house according to user convenience, and the water tank has a capacity of 1 liter for prolonged operation.

Comfort - using Tefal's All-in-One ironing system allows for the most comfortable ironing experience we have tried. The 3 modes for vertical, horizontal or at a 30-degree angle allow for individual adjustment with a quick and easy change between modes depending on the item being ironed. For example, I ironed a pillowcase in the horizontal mode on the table, then switched to the vertical mode in a second (!) to iron a delicate and wide T-shirt.
Each of the 3 modes can be adjusted to the height that is convenient for each user.
Functions - the long cable combined with a portable and detachable base allows me to iron a large map while it is laid out and spread on the table before hosting my extended family on Friday evenings - a particularly efficient solution for me! I only ironed the curtains for testing purposes since this function is not needed often. Even in this case, if the curtains don't align with the weight and pulling force during hanging, the ironing system does a great job in a short and convenient operation while it is hung (there was only a need to go up and down the ladder to reach its full length with the steam).
Grip - The handle is comfortable to use, and the small dimensions and lightweight of the iron make it comfortable to hold. There is a feeling that they deeply considered ergonomics and succeeded in creating one that presents significant improvement over any other ironing system available today. Advanced technology - There is no need to adjust the temperature or choose from a variety of steam intensities. The iron adjusts itself during use. Smart Protect technology offers safe use for all fabrics, even the most delicate ones. The power button is the only one to press to start the ironing process. Pressing it turns the button's light to a steady blue after about 60 seconds, indicating that the iron is ready for use. The steam power is especially strong, and the small dimensions of the iron head, including its lightweight, allow reaching every corner of the item you want to iron.
For example, in fitted shirts, the corner of the head manages to fit even if the steam is released at a distance of 2-5 cm, without any creases.
Design - The ironing system is designed with a modern and innovative look. The colors (gray and black combined with stainless steel) are suitable for any space. If the ironing board and steam iron I used until now were stored in a "hideout" and only brought out when used, today I take breaks during ironing, which takes hours and leaves the iron in the public area of the house. Storage - The ability of the system to fold and stand upright does not require much storage space. Its position in the closet or laundry room blends seamlessly and accurately with the space and function it serves.
Weight - the light weight of the entire system together, allows for easy movement and the addition of wheels at the base of the system also assists in smooth movement without the need for lifting or physical force, so preparing for ironing is simple and comfortable. The grip on the iron head is especially lightweight (only 530 grams) and even after continuous ironing for two hours, I did not feel any strain on the palm of my hand.
This is also true when I ironed a vertical curtain with upward and downward movements using each iron's efficiency - assembling the product at the moment of taking it out of the box takes about half an hour of self-assembly without the need for assistance or special technical sense. The transition between the ironing modes (vertical, balanced or 30 degrees) is easily achievable, without exerting force and takes about 2 seconds. The grip position for the iron head moves on a 180-degree axis, so it can be adjusted for right-handed/left-handed individuals and for each of the 3 ironing modes.
The power - the steam power is so strong that there is no need to work twice on the ironed area, even when dealing with thick fabric (tested on the IDF's B uniform, for example). Moreover, ironing bedding has never been easier! I folded a double blanket in half (which means 12 layers of fabric) and ironed the folded blanket once from both sides, and that's it! The steam passes through the layers of fabric ideally. This is true for any item you want to iron, but with bedding, it is definitely a significant improvement.
Advanced and considerate ergonomics - adjustable height, comfortable angle for use, light-weight vertical or horizontal ironing, easy to move, fast and powerful, long cable for convenient use even on a table with maps, curtains, bedding, etc. The combination of advanced technology with the comfort of the flexible surface, adjustable height, the option to choose between different ironing modes, powerful steaming, modern design, and compact dimensions make the ironing experience practical whether you have a pile of items to iron or for a last-minute touch-up before leaving the house.
As of today, December 2023, the innovative IXEO POWER ALL-IN-ONE ironing system is an advanced, if not the most advanced, solution for fast and convenient ironing tailored to intensive lifestyles and changing needs. Recommended consumer price: 1,799 shekels. Also available at a discounted price in stores and online according to the retailer's discretion. Available in selected marketing and electrical networks.
