This replaced my 15 year old Philips generator iron. I was amazed at the power of the steaming, so much so that it was too much in the heatwave! This is an excellent iron. Automatically adapting to whatever material you are ironing is brilliant. The only thing I'm not impressed with is the steam tube tidy. Firstly, there is nowhere to put the electric cable and secondly the place given for the steam cable is so difficult to use. The cable is very stiff and solid so trying to curve it into the specified grooves is really hard to do especially as I'm arthritic. I wish that being a high end iron they had designed that part better. Of course it may not bother many, but I wanted a smaller iron than I had, which could be stored easily. It does fit that criteria, but extremely difficult to do for me. It's a nice light weight and because of the iron lock to the base, easy to carry around. I'm hoping it lasts me like my previous Philips iron did. I would recommend this as it does speed up ironing and do a great job. Read more

First ordered this iron, on arrival looks lovely, glides lovely, but delivers not a lot of steam, drips sometimes but made an awful loud screech noise. Contacted Phillips with a video, they said to de scale, although this was the first time using so why would I need to de scale a brand new iron; then they told me to reset the iron. After doing this the iron is still screeching, sent back to get a replacement, received the placement and it doesn’t sound quite as loud as the last one but makes the awful screeching/screaming noise. I will have to go back to tefal steam generator instead of Phillips. Very disappointed Read more

Our last Philips steam generator iron lasted over 7yrs and I’ve no doubt this will be the same. Big steam pressure, easy gliding and does everything you’d want it to - so it’s an excellent choice for sure. Minor gripes would be: doesn’t stand on it’s own (but it auto shuts off so you can just put it on the ironing board while you’re moving clothes about); wire organisation is not as good as our old model (a bit fiddly); and emptying the water out when you’ve finished is quite poor as the water tank design makes it unnecessarily time consuming (you have to lift and shake simultaneously…but you get used to it). Overall it’s worth the money as it does everything you’d expect and will last many years. Read more

A great iron and certainly does what it should. The bigger water tank is good and i find it is easier to keep clean and de-scaled than my last one Read more
