Leaks everywhere - avoid
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Absolutely useless iron. It leaked water all over the clothes and sheets as I ironed with the steam turned on. I’m returning it. Do not buy this iron.

Premium iron
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

It's one of my favourite iron so far. It does the job brilliantly. It feels heavy and expensive.

What's happened with Philips iron's, just purchased a Russell Hobbs instead at a similar price.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

My second Philips iron in as many weeks, my first was the cheaper Philips EasySpeed Plus Iron which leaked so I returned it, then purchased the Philips PowerLife Steam iron but that smoked when I switched it on, so again I had to return it, I have only ever purchased Philips iron's in the past but unfortunately never again.

Does what you expect
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

This is an ok iron at a price that does the job, but it will never be in my heart at the Philips Azure is. Unfortunately I just couldn't afford to replace mine so settled for second best.

Not convenient bay of water
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

It is not convenient to pour water into the iron since the lid closing the opening opens to the right side and you have to fill the water with your left hand, which is not very convenient for the right-hander.There is no hole on the iron plug for attaching the cord to the iron during storage. The whip unwinds and does not stick on the iron.

Very disappointed but not with seller
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I am absolutely disgusted with this product. I have contacted Philip's myself numerous times and have been ignored. The water leaks out of the water spout and runs down the handle and on to the electrical cord

Happy with this iron
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I’m glad that I have choosen this over the big steam genarator stationsThis iron is light, easy to use and has got long cordI have been using it for a month and there was no leaks so farThe steaming settings are great as you can choose from few optionsThe cover is black but seethru and you can still see how much water is in the tank and top it up any time

Good iron
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I've always had Phillips irons because I feel they have all the functions I want. Good steam and water spray. I like how you can iron between buttons with the button groove.

Absolutely dire!
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

The first iron leaked everywhere and stopped generating steam after a few weeks. Replacement received and within two weeks this one not only started leaking again but the sole plate start going brown and the extra steam button would not engage. The sole plate was going brown because the temperature adjustment was not working and was full temperature regardless, only finding out when it burnt through an expensive blouse. I'm a big fan of Philips products but this one is not even second rate, but an awful third rate, never to be bought again item.

Disappointed!
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

First, the package came with a damaged box, there was no plastic to fill water into the iron in the package. I have only used the iron twice since I bought it and it started dripping water at the second use, I had to turn off the steaming system. The plastic top looked like cheap material. I am really disappointed with this iron giving that I have always valued Philips irons.

Already replaced!
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

This is a nice looking iron and works well but it’s overall design is ridiculous. The water reservoir cover is black and therefore all but impossible to see through to see the water level. Useless! After less than a month of use I have replaced this iron.
