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.
Andr33aReturned it as cord too short. Also wouldn't iron smoothly on Asian salwar kameez.
AnonNone 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.It stopped working after 1.5 year of using it occasionally at home
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.

not happy with it does not glide very good at all just glad I did not pay a lot for it
Amazon customer sue bPurchased 6 months ago , whilst using it today got a electric shock of it and a big bang and sparks and now can not be used
julie hooperCord quite short and doesnt come with a cable tidy. The plate doesn't glide as well as my last Phillips even though its meant to be the same material.
AdamThis iron does not run smoothly, and I am returning it.
Cyrus R. Modyit does the job but it is very light.which means it sometimes gathers the material up in creases.not one i would recommend.
jayne stapletonNot quite as smooth as my last one from Phillips which seems to have been discontinued. The ceramic sole plate not as smooth as the stainless steel one and it also feels lighter.
SusanFor 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.
