Hi there! It sounds like you're a big fan of Tefal steam generators, but you're having some trouble with the flex getting twisted as a left-hander. I can definitely understand how frustrating that can be. Here are some tips that might help prevent wear and tear on your steam generator:
- Use a swivel cord: One option is to use a swivel cord. This type of cord rotates as you move the steam generator, which can help prevent it from getting twisted. You may be able to find a swivel cord that's compatible with your Tefal steam generator.
- Use an extension cord: If a swivel cord isn't an option, you could try using an extension cord. This will give you more flexibility in terms of where you can plug in the steam generator, which may help prevent the cord from getting twisted.
- Be mindful of the cord: While you're using the steam generator, try to be mindful of the cord and avoid letting it get twisted. This may take some practice, but it could help extend the life of your steam generator.
- Contact Tefal: It's possible that Tefal may have some suggestions for left-handers who are experiencing this issue. You could try reaching out to their customer service department to see if they have any advice.
As for the issue with your latest steam generator playing up after only 4 weeks, it's possible that there's a defect with the unit. If it's still under warranty, I would recommend contacting Tefal to see if they can repair or replace it for you.
