Only used a few times probably around 10 times, and then is looking like this...the pad is not such a good quality so in general this iron is very small, probably to used only for travel.
Andr33avery light weight and easy to use from trustworthy brand
Amazon Customerlasted long enough was good iron
Goldstarlight and extremely efficient. Delivered early
Gerald M.Great iron, loads of functions to use.
Mahmuda AkhtarGreat little iron and really quite efficient considering it’s light weight (less than 800g without water). Excellent if, like me, you are nursing a shoulder injury.Dropped a star because the sole plate isn’t as smooth as some ceramic plates. Good for small loads.

First iron I've ever purchased/used, so I've not really got any solid expectations, but after several uses it appears to work as I would expect. Wouldn't mind the cable being slightly longer, but it's not a dealbreaker in my current setup.
Robert ChisholmReturned it as cord too short. Also wouldn't iron smoothly on Asian salwar kameez.
AnonBought for my wife as her long-serving iron of the same make had given up. She is delighted with it (thankfully) and we were very pleased with the price and the very speedy delivery.
JohnNone stick plate is good but the steam function not so good, will spit out brown liquid!!!
donna leylandthe second replacement has just given up the ghost!Not good enough in todays world
Nigel A.Does the job. Dearer ones don't always. So many cheap ones are a better long term buy.
ColinGood product and customer service
EmmanuelIt stopped working after 1.5 year of using it occasionally at home
Amazon CustomerNot as good as the 2042, but still love it. Would prefer a longer lead.
Amazon CustomerThis iron does have some good points but they are outweighed by one overwhelming negative:the flex is much too short.It's barely 180cms whereas the one it's replacing had a 300cm flex so I'm having to use it with an extension lead.It's very light weight even with the water container full which is good.The steam function is excellent on the eco setting and it stops steaming immediately it's standing upright.Otherwise it does the job ok and it was comparatively cheap.

DRIvesFor fast results, from start to finish this range offers you three ways to speed up your ironing. The EasySpeed Plus irons speed up your ironing thanks to the triple precision tip, even heat distribution across the soleplate and continuous steam output. This range is designed to easily remove creases with its high steam output for longer lasting results and is ideal for everyday use on smaller loads.
Philips is a Global Ironing Brand with over 75 years expertise in ironing technology and innovation.
Steam output is measured in grams of weight as it leaves the soleplate. The heavier the output the deeper the steam can reach into the fabric layers for longer lasting crease removal. This steam iron has a powerful continuous steam output of 35g per minute for consistently fast results and a 100g steam boost for deep crease removal. Thanks to the carefully crafted soleplate design, the steam is distributed evenly across the soleplate. This way you need fewer ironing strokes to evenly moisten the garment and therefore less time to complete the ironing.
The iron can be used vertically and the steam is powerful enough to be used to iron out creases from curtains or hanging clothes for example suit jackets or dresses that might need a refresh.
The soleplate of your Philips iron is Ceramic and scratch resistant -- it glides effortlessly for better performance. Thanks to the carefully crafted soleplate design, the steam is distributed evenly across the soleplate. This way you need fewer strokes to evenly moisten the fabric and therefore less time to complete the ironing.
The tip of this Philips iron is precise in 3 ways: it has a pointed tip, button groove and a sleek design of the nose. Triple Precision tip enables you to reach evenly into the most tricky areas e.g. around the buttons or between the pleats.
Drip Stop system lets you iron delicate fabrics at low temperatures without having to worry about stains from water droplets.
The spray function produces a fine mist that evenly moistens the fabric making it easier to iron out creases.
The easy self-clean calc solution helps you remove the scale in less than one minute.
Power efficient at 2100W.
