This iron is powerful and it has improved so much the time invested in ironing. Very happy with the value I got
Amazon CustomerI bought this for my coming military training. Before I bought Azur Elite, I bought Azur GC4567/86. Used a wrinkled shirt for tried that 2 irons, the shirt's material and the cutting it needs a lot of patient on ironing time. Azur GC4567/86 it is good for most of the normal clothing however, on the wrinkled shirt some wrinkly it's still left. Azur Elite it works very well on that shirt and saved half of the iron time for me. Then I returned the Azur GC4567/86 and chosen Azur Elite with my coming military training.
JadeIt’s a nice heavy lovely iron
JoAt the beginning I was afraid that there is no temperature control, but really adapts itself to the fabric, I iron as linen, cotton, polyester and silk without any problems and especially a lot of steam gives. I guess I never had such a great iron.
John CarthyNot having to change a temperature dial makes life a lot easier. No leakage, good steam, good on creases. My favourite iron that I have ever owned (and the most expensive).
Philip VialThe best iron I have ever owned and worth paying the extra for it. The only issue I have is that it does take a while to warm up, but the job it does once warm makes you forgive it for that.
Amazon CustomerI wish I had changed my iron sooner! This is a little on the heavy side but nothing too bad compared to my previous iron. I live the fact that I do not need to adjust the temperature for different items such as going from delicates to jeans. The way this iron automatically adjusts the temperature is magic!
TanjDGreat iron not a thing to add it's the best iron I have ever bought
ray steelLike some others I have issues with the heating up, sometimes its fine but other times you have to do the IT bit. Turn it off and on again hence the 3 stars for ease of use :). Second time around its fine. I must admit after my Rowenta 400 hole steam iron started creating more water on the clothes than steam (I must admit this is a fantastic iron though and it was only this incident that put me off replacing it like for like) and lots of research i was really sceptical about not having a temperature control. After reading many reviews and watching the videos of it i took the plunge and bought it last September. I must say a sceptic has been converted, it performs wonderfully. I don't know how it works but it does, and very well. As i said, and this is the only reason for the non 5 star review, its frustrating having sometimes to turn it off and on again.
Amazon CustomerHas a temper, sometimes won’t heat up but turn it off and on and it’s good to go. Could probably get it sorted by contacting Philips but I’m too lazy. When it works it’s a great and easy iron that needs no attention. It is pricy but feels worth it.
MR J MCDONALDQuality product with lots of steam and automatic temperature selection. Would be 5 stars if it was a little lighter as heavy weight makes it tiring doing a lot of ironing in one go
SteveThis is my first philips steam iron and i was very much impressed by the specification online. I must say that the iron indeed is very good and inspite of being heavy (2kg +) glides over the fabric like the ice hockey puck !The amonut of steam it produces is amazing and therefore gets rid of the creases with ease. It is been days i am using it and so far nothing on the negative side. It senses movement and turns itself off when it is idle, sure this feature saves some electricity as well and offcourse doesnt nurn clothes when left on the clothes. I would definitely recomment this product to all my friends. You also get a 2 year warranty cover from philips , what more does one need!
sudhakar muruganI recommend! ????
Dragonfly81Perfect. Can do anything. Got me worried about the temperature but it's smart - don't understand how it gets the material right but everything is perfectly ironed without being burned... Defnitely a good purchase.
Amazon CustomerThis is a great iron, possibly the best I’ve had because it doesn’t adversely mark clothes like normal hot plate irons. It irons mainly by steam. My minor, very minor criticism is that it takes longer to heat up than a normal iron (I’d say another 30 seconds).
NJDI order this product as I had used a Philips Steam Generator Iron which I loved. I decided to get this model as I moved to a smaller flat and did not have the space for a steam generator iron. This is just as good as the steam generator. The iron heats up quickly and the steam output is excellent. There is a manual steam trigger for extra blasts of steam when required. Overall I am very happy with this product.
DarrenAbsolutely love this iron. I do a lot of ironing with lots of different types of material & I don’t have to worry about waiting for the iron to cool down for certain types of material. It glides over clothing & bedding, etc with great ease & the steam output is brilliant. I highly recommend this iron.
Toni PatrickOnly used once but the best iron I’ve ever had. Creases disappear and ironing time is almost halved. Nothing not to like. If you value your time and/or have someone in to do your weekly ironing it will save you time and money.
Peter ReynoldsI am a man who loves a gadget so when I needed a new iron the lack of a temperature dial got me interested.I have to say all the online reviews are right and this is a brilliant iron.Pros:*Can iron any type of ironable garment without needing to think about temperature.*No need to use a cloth to iron garments such as trousers that would normally look shiny. Ironing directly is easy and they look perfect.*using this iron I can iron twice as quickly as normal (bear in mind I am a man!)* No more using liquid descaller, just open the compartment underneath the iron and empty.Cons:# The iron is heavy although this means you don't have to press down too much when ironing, but could be a problem for arthritis suffers.# The colour looks great but it is difficult to see the water level.# As this is a high volume steam device watch those fingers when ironing small areas.# The cable tidy is pretty useless so I tend not to use it.All in all I have been using this for a few weeks and can recommend it despite the price.
