Otherwise, there are no complaints.

Reviews about the model

Reviews about the iron "Tefal" FV9920E0 in most cases are positive, but nevertheless, users note a few minor disadvantages. The first is related to the short running time. For ordinary things, this is imperceptible, but when ironing curtains or curtains, it is noticeably felt. The second drawback is the horizontal setting of the iron on the base - the vertical one is much more convenient. Well, the third - not every board has a place for a base.
