Power and smoothness for ironing! Not all iron soles are the same. The Durilium® technology developed by Tefal ensures the best possible smoothness for the iron. The better the sole glides, the faster and easier the ironing process. The Tefal Ultimate Pure Purple steam iron features a fantastic self-cleaning Durilium AirGlide Autoclean soleplate with an additional layer of palladium. Palladium has a catalytic property that prevents fabric fibers from sticking to the soleplate, significantly reducing the need for cleaning. The Durilium® soleplate is also highly scratch-resistant, even when ironing tricky areas like zippers. This ensures the Durilium® soleplate of the iron remains usable for a much longer time. Additionally, the Durilium® technology allows for optimal steam distribution across the entire soleplate. Unlike most competing products, steam is released from the tip, sides, and center of the soleplate - even from each steam hole - ensuring the fabric is evenly and effectively moistened, making ironing easier. The powerful and consistent steam output removes wrinkles quickly. The Tefal Ultimate Pure Purple steam iron has a power of 3,000 W, heating up quickly and efficiently steaming the fabric. Its continuous steam output is up to 55 g/min, ensuring an optimal and even steam amount for quick and effective wrinkle removal. The extra steam boost is 240 g/min, allowing steam to penetrate deep into the fabric, even the thickest ones, removing even the most stubborn wrinkles. The iron also features vertical steaming, making it easy and quick to refresh or smooth hanging clothes, jackets, or delicate fabrics. The iron's automatic steam function selects the right amount of steam - you only need to choose the temperature based on the fabric type, and the iron takes care of the rest. The intelligent automatic shut-off enhances safety as the iron cannot be left heating accidentally. If the iron is unused in a vertical position, the power cuts off after 8 minutes. If unused horizontally, the power cuts off after just 30 seconds. The large 350 ml water tank makes ironing easier as it doesn't need frequent refills, allowing you to iron more clothes at once. Equipped with an anti-drip system, preventing water leakage and water stains on fabrics while ironing. The Ultimate Pure Purple steam iron features a unique Tefal-patented innovation - a removable scale collector with a microfilter
