No English plug
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I received my order today after the first one was lost in transit. I was disappointed to find it has a French plug on it. When I’ve bought an adapter I will rate the features. ☹️ I assume if I change the plug it will affect the guarantee.

I regret the purchase
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

This Philips iron does not heat up sufficiently in order to iron out all the creases in bed linen, shirts, or anything for this matter! I really do not recommend this Philips GC7805 PerfectCare Compact Steam Generator Iron. Bought 18 months ago and it doesn't heat up anymore. I am throwing it away. It was a bad choice and a waste of money.

steamy, plasticky, noisy
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Wish i had got the morphy richards. This feels and looks so plasticky and cheap. Do have to open the windows when using as it steams them up (in a large open plan room and am at least 2metres away from the glass). Have to whack up the tv/radio volume. The iron causes the board to also get so damp that it dripped water from the underside onto the parquet floor! While it does iron better that the traditional irons and the benefits of no burn are great, it takes time to get used to the slowness of start up and putting the irn face down when not in use. I think the higher priced models are the ones that convert users to steam irons, but the advantages are negated with these lower price models sadly.

A waste of time.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Awful! Had read a lot of good things about steam generating irons and with ironing a lot of sheets for out B&B we decided to get one to make things easier. The long and short is that it just didn’t get any creases out, we tried all sorts of things and it didn’t even get close to our 10 year old Tefal “normal” iron, it took at least twice as long to operate and was a total waste of time. Maybe the more expensive ones are better, but we won’t be wasting time trying them out!

Why the delay to cut off the steam!!
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

At times I've used a high end generator steam iron, I then decided to treat myself to this product.My reason for marking it down is that the steam still goes full blast for a couple of seconds after you've taken pressure off the control button.So all the time you're trying to keep whatever's being ironed, particularly something like a shirt moving, to do the fiddly bits, collar, cuffs etc, steam is still coming out.When you need to put the iron on holder to fold bed linen etc, the iron is still spitting steam.It's not such a clean action as the more expensive iron.I've not used another similarly priced iron to make a comparison.It does iron well, if you overcome the annoying steam cut off delay.

Disappointed, doesn’t work for my ironing jobs

The iron doesn’t get the creases out of cotton trousers and sheets. Steam is not regularly available. Doesn’t seem to respond to booster quickly.

Don't bother
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Don't waste your money. This is this 2nd Phillips stream generator I've bought, my 1st one was fantastic so thought this one would be too.......so, so wrong! Doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to iron anything! The steam it generates is no more than the average steam iron throws out. I've requested a refund from the ever helpful Amazon.

Doesn't have a temperature dial - it's essentially always on LOW and relies on the steam to do the job. At least the wife cant burn anything...

High expectations but disappointed
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Having read all the hype about steam generating irons we ordered this model with high expectations - but we were very disappointed! We tried several different items from shirts to jeans but generally we only succeeded in ironing creases into garments rather than out of them. As others have commented, it's noisy and there's quite a delay between pressing the steam button and the steam being generated. It looks like it's back to our old-fashioned Tefal steam iron for us.

Strong, continuous steam tackles even the thickest fabrics with ease. Watch stubborn creases melt away with an extra steam boost just where you need it. This extra steam is perfect for vertical steaming to refresh clothes and curtains, too.

SteamGlide Plus Soleplate

Our exclusive SteamGlide Plus soleplate – with its advanced titanium layer and 6-layer coating – delivers ultimate gliding performance over any fabric. Non-stick, scratch-resistant and easy to keep clean.

Smart Descaling

Keep steaming as strong as ever and extend the life of your iron with Smart Calc Clean, our built-in descaling and cleaning system. The iron will let you know when it’s time to be cleaned.
