Product Description
This sleek, multi-directional steam/dry iron is built with 1500W of power and designed with an ultra-smooth, dual-tip ceramic-coated soleplate for ironing 25% faster than conventional irons. The streamlined, ergonomic profile and elliptical soleplate glide in any direction to smooth-out wrinkles, reach between buttons, make short work of collars, cuffs and sleeves, as well as tablecloths and curtains. The large ultra-smooth, ceramic-coated soleplate is six times more durable than stainless steel. And a time-saving elliptical, double-tipped design glides effortlessly on most any fabric. Iron more efficiently with 1500 Watts of power and a five-setting temperature control dial to maintain the perfect level of heat for a range of fabrics. A bright indicator light illuminates when the proper temperature is reached. Apply the perfect concentration of steam, or no steam at all, to every ironing task. Set to HIGH for heavier and everyday fabrics, LOW for more delicate fabrics and quick, easy touch-ups or choose DRY for ironing when no steam is needed. With the one-touch Jet-of-Steam feature, a powerful burst of steam through the soleplate penetrates clothing, sheets and more help you tackle tough wrinkles and creases. And when ironing is done, another burst of steam helps clear the iron’s steam vents. With the push of a button, the iron's vertical steam feature directs a full burst of steam to relax and remove winkles from hanging garments, curtains, drapes and more. Keep your iron's steam vents clean, clear and steaming like new with a built-in anti-calcium cleaning system to reduce natural sediment build-up in the iron's vaporizing chamber. An anti-drip system provides a long-life water seal inside the iron body to help protect fabrics from water spotting. As you iron, a one-touch spray mist button instantly puts an extra shot of moisture exactly when and where you need it. Enjoy easy, tangle-free ironing from any direction with a convenient 360° rotating power cord.

Short Review: Pointy front edge and large reservoir are pros for the TFAL. The comparatively light weight and long cord of the TFAL can be pros or cons depending on your needs, as can the complex and comprehensive de-calcing system TFAL uses. Cons of the TFAL include the need to clean and decalc the iron once per month (at least if you take the instructions seriously) and the idiotic "pictorial only" manual, which will leave you confused and squinty-eyed. Biggest liability for TFAL is the entirely too vigorous steam system, which often sprays water out, drips from the front plate holes, and often makes the iron sound like Thomas the Tank Engine.
The Panasonic competitor is heaviver, with a shorter cord and smaller reservoir, but irons at least as well as the TFAL, and is easier to keep clean. The steam management is both powerful enough and at the same time well regulated. I would call the Panasonic generally more successful across the board and though it costs more, the difference in price is not enough to favor the TFAL in my opinion.
Full Details:
Iron Shape -- TFAL has point front, Pana is more or less symmetrical in shape, so the front is about as pointy as the rear of the face plate. This makes it easier to use TFAL to iron nooks and crannies in clothing, but makes it easier to reverse directions quickly with the Pana. All in all, I found the more traditional TFAL shape to be more useful.
Water Capacity -- TFAL is larger in capacity (9 oz vs 6.75 oz) and is much easier to fill, as the port is larger and can even be put directly under a tap faucet. The Pana is more old school, with a tiny port, complete with a flimsy cover that is just waiting to break off at the first mishap. Clear win for TFAL here.
Weight -- To get wrinkles out, pressure has to come from somwhere. Pana is heavier, TFAL lighter. Hence, TFAL is less fatiguing in theory, but you will have to press down more to get the fabric smooth. Choose your poison. I liked the weight of the Pana more myself, but there is no clear answer as to which is best.
Cords -- TFAL has 12 ft, Pana about 9 feet. Both cords manuever freely around 360 degrees, neither retracts. A long cord can be good or bad, depending on your specific ironing needs. My ironing board is really close to the outlet, so I like the Pana.
DeCalcinating -- Panasonic mysteriously just claims they have a system for this on the 810. They don't go into detail, and you the user don't have to do anything. It just works. Or does it? No idea, only had the iron for 10 months, and NYC has soft water, so it is not much of a workout for decalcing methods. TFAL in comparison has some wand gadget in the middle of the reservoir that needs to be cleaned separately once per month, and then cleaned again in the separate once per month iron cleaning. This seems like a bit of work for the user, and frankly, I don't think I am going to do it very often or at all. Will my TFAL iron calc up in no time? No idea. If I had hard water, I think I would go with the TFAL and follow the regimen, but for soft water and / or lazy ironers, the possible ineffectual though low effort Pana approach may have more merit. I personally think two different cleaning protocols once per month is rather excessive for a low cost appliance, but you may disagree. If the instructions were clearer, this would have been a neutral point for me, but see below for why this protocol and the lame instructions interacted to give a victory to Pana.
Manual -- Pana has a two page or so written manual with small print, and a few diagrams that is really nothing exceptional. Yet everything is clear enough. TFAL, either fearing an uptick in illiteracy and / or wanting to save money on localization costs of the manual around the world, has all features and instructions in minuscule pictograms that had me straining my eyes to see them. Even worse, TFAL had numerous instances of two pictures that look very much alike next to each other, one of which has an X through it (meaning "don't do this!!") and another with a smiley face ("yes, do this!") Good luck figuring out what you're supposed to do unless you're a professional sniper! Plus the pictograms are bundled into lengthy sequences - the monthly cleaning has roughly 17 steps! It's like the Common Core Curriculum approach to iron use and maintenance... This whole concept struck me as annoying and misguided, but showed how even a mediocre manual using old fashioned words can still be a better solution than hieroglyphic innovations for consumer products.
Steam -- Pana is 1500 watts, TFAL more than 1700. All my ironing was on the "cotton" setting for both units, i.e. near the max. The two irons are fairly evenly matched in quality of results produced despite the wattage difference. However, the real issue is the TFAL's "Raging Bull" steam system. The auto steam system has 4 settings plus off, and only on setting 2 is adequate steam produced with only occasional water emission. Setting 1 is virtually no leaks, but not much usable steam, and settings 3 & 4 produce a lot of leaks, plus water bubbling out through the faceplate. If you turn autosteam off and try to control the steam using manual bursts, you almost always get water coming out. Pana in comparison almost never has water leaks, even on highest autosteam and plenty of manual bursts. Maybe the lower wattage works in Pana's favor? Not sure, but in any case any possible benefit from more powerful TFAL steam is offset by the frequent leaks and lack of control in TFAL. Big win for the Pana.
Common Features: Both units had useful auto off systems that vary shut off time based on position of iron. Nice idea, well implemented in both. Both irons took the same time to heat up, and as mentioned earlier, produced usable ironing results that were comparable. No flaws or breakages, build quality appears similar for both. Both have a one year warranty. The main points of distinction between the two models are summarized above.
Bottom Line: The more precise steam control of the Pana makes it more useful for me. The TFAL has a few comparative strengths, but the undisciplined steam is a big issue for me. If the TFAL was a lot cheaper, I might forgive this, but as of this writing, the TFAL costs 20% less on Amazon, which to me is not enough of a differential to offset an annoying flaw. Panasonic for the win for me, and unless you are confident that my particular over-steaming TFAL was a lemon, you will probably be better advised to go for the Panasonic as well. (Unless the price for TFAL falls a lot, and / or you worry about calcination and think the TFAL overkill approach sounds like something you need.)
During my search, I didn't see an iron I trusted or liked for a fair price so I purchased this Panasonic here on Amazon. I LOVE IT! It got great consumer reviews and when I started using it I could see why. Before I tell you all the things a like about it, let me tell you that I actually purchased several irons from different manufacturers (which I returned) so I was able to compare.
This iron has a cleverly shaped heating plate that allows me to slide over fabric in any direction without snagging! Why didn't anyone else think of that over the years? It produces a lot of steam and the water spray function is far better than all the other irons I tried. The other irons I tried sort of spit water unevenly or even shoot it in an odd direction. This iron doesn't do that. It's a well made spout that fires a fine but strong mist in the correct direction. The cord is long enough and it stands well when upright. The knobs are nicely made and the water filling hole is positioned nicely and not too small.
I usually wouldn't write a review but I'm so tired of buying crappy products and wasting time and money. I'm hoping to save you the headache.
PROS
Multi Directional Ironing is great especially with ironing sleeves of formal shirts or removing wrinkles from pleated pants. However, the 25% reduction is a marketing thing. It's more of a convenience than a time saver. If someone is a complete novice at ironing, I could see how that would be a time saver.
The soleplate is one of the biggest positives of this iron. Absolutely clean and doesn't cling on to fabric even after 3 months of owning this iron. It glides smoothly over all types of fabric.
Ironing with steam is probably where this iron beats away all competition. The vents are evenly spaced on the oval soleplate. Whiffs of steam gush out at different desired levels that make it so so easy to remove wrinkles and unwanted creases. I never had to pass the iron twice over the same part of the shirt. Also a button that release extra steam, makes pressing slacks a breeze.
CONS
I would disagree with that this iron could be used for steaming curtain or coats while in the vertical position. You might want to invest in W950A for that kind of feature.
The water tank for the iron could have been designed for extra capacity. With medium steam on, I last 3 shirts before I have to refill the water for steam.
The wall adapter for the iron also doesn't seem high quality. I have had times where the adapter would unplug while I was ironing. Slightly irritating.
Since the soleplate isn't flat at it's bottom when upright, it tends to trip easily when balancing on it's two wedges vertically.
It would be best if your ironing board had a iron cradle.
Summary :
A very good iron in the under $50 price category. Ironing with steam really makes a big difference. Plus the sole plate is of good quality and glides over all kind of fabric smoothly.
However, this iron is not designed for steaming curtains or coats. The water tank could last 30-35 minutes of ironing with medium-high steam. Also you need to be super careful when placing the iron vertically on the iron board.
If you can live with the downsides of this iron, it would be a really decent purchase.
