Model reviews
Reviews on the iron "Tefal" FV9920E0 in most cases are positive, but nevertheless, users note several minor minuses. The first is associated with a short run time. For ordinary things, this is invisible, but when ironing curtains or curtains noticeably felt. The second drawback - the horizontal setting of the iron on the base - the vertical is much more convenient. Well and the third - not on each board there is a place for the base.
