I like most people have tons of ironing ,and dislike the chore ! this makes it’s a light breeze as now I’m whizzing through them , very easy to use and store .
Mrs Sukhbir SanghaWorth money. Definitely 5 stars. It's amazing. Finally, I can iron and I love it!
BARTZHad this product for a few days now. It is a good Iron however the abnormal noise it produces is enough to want to return it. I am in the process of speaking to Philips and am waiting for a reply in regards to the abnormal noise it produces. If they say this is normal I will replace the product immediately. No iron should make this noise with this price tag ! Shame as if it did not produce this noise then I would be happy with it and give it full marks. Something is not quite right with this product. Please watch my video until the end.
Amazon CustomerYou get what you pay for, and this steam generator is the best I have ever had. It replaced a cheaper working item. Best move I ever made, no more sticking on any fabric I have used it on. First Class.
klaserieFantastic steam station, very easy to use, good Steam pressing,infact unbelievably incredibly unique.Would I buy it again YES BETTER than my old Philips Provapor.
Super BuyerLess than 8 months after purchasing this iron the steam is all but non existent. Phillips customer care process for repair (not replacement!) is convoluted, time consuming and places the burden firmly on the consumer. Refuse to provide like for like replacement during repair period. Sigh. Wish I’d known this before shelling out £££ for this product.
Marie StephanoI never thought I’d pay this much for an iron but I’m so glad that I did-I have to iron a lot of fabric for quilting apart from normal laundry. This iron is absolutely faultless. It irons every kind of fabric superbly. I notice that normal cotton sheets are so smooth that they seem almost polished-and I thought my previous iron had done a pretty good job anyway. It delivers really powerful steam consistently throughout, and the fact that the iron itself is so light means that anyone with mobility issues might find it less tiring. This really is a first rate product.
Miss DaisyThis is the best iron I even owned. It's my second purchase, the first one I bought in 2017 and it stopped working.It makes a very easy task ironing.
christine drescherLove this iron. Had a tefal before and this is so much better. Turbo steam is a big bonus too. Much cheaper than other supplies and delivery via Royal Mail was okay but still not Amazon Prime speed and reliability, so if you need this urgently you will need to shop elsewhere. Would definitely recommend.
JCWhy have I never had one before. My ironing takes half the time. The only drawback is that occasionally if I am wearing my specs, and using a lot of steam my specs steam up but nothing to moan about
WarsopianBrilliant for all fabrics and easy to use, it glides over all garments and the tip is great for tricky details when dressmaking. Switches off after 10 minutes of inactivity so it is ideal if you are forgetful at unplugging the iron after use. I would recommend this if you are a dressmaker, or have seriously lots of ironing to do, as it is expensive. However, if you haven’t the space for storing when not in use, it is rather a large piece of equipment.
posh'n'specsBlooming amazing. My wife now has more time on her hands to clean the oven, microwave and fridge. Winners all round.
Captain SteveBest iron we’ve ever had. No temperature control as it works it out automatically depending on the material - I didn’t really believe it but it does work. It’s pure wizardry!!
SteveLEasy for beginners but when need control of temperature for delicate garments is not accurate.
DIESEL VIN 79good item and i got it to assist my cleaner to iron without too much explanation ????
K.SThis iron is the best ever,I have had a lot of steam generators but this is the one.It is so light to hold and doesn’t hurt your hand when ironing.
Alison ThomasBest iron ever. Had it a month now it is just perfect.I know it's expensive but worth every penny
Pete WrightLove itUsed to have morphy Richards but this is much as easier to use as it alters the temperature itself So there's s no fear of burning clothesHeats up in 2 minutes and doesn't leak from the plate too oftenSo easy to de scaleBig tank let's you do a couple of loads of washing easily
Amazon CustomerGreat iron for when you have a lot of ironing to do.Takes two mins to warm up but once there ironing is quick and easy.Cotton sheets that can be a real pain when left dry and scrunched up done in no time.Has a 'turbo' boost for those few nasty jobs.Also eco mode great on synthetic/mixed fabrics.Base unit is heavy to carry but once in place the iron itself is light enough to use without being so light you have to push down to remove the creases.Overall excellent.Our last Phillips iron worked for +8 years and needed one small hose replaced.Cost me all of £5 in parts and 1hr of cursing taking it apart and screwing it back together.
P. OliverThe steam generator was bought as a replacement for Philips steam generator which was damaged by falling after providing very good and long lived service.The iron has a ceramic base plate which stays clean and is light weight, so easy to use.As for steam output, excellent

The most advanced motion sensor used in steam irons knows precisely how fast you're ironing and when its standing still. The DynamiQ steam mode automatically releases the perfect amount of steam as you move slower over deep creases to speed up the crease removal and make ironing easier. The steam automatically starts when your iron is moving and stops when the iron does for ultimate convenience and effortless results.
Regular descaling protects your iron, extends its lifetime, and ensures the best steam performance. Our exclusive Easy De-Calc Plus system collects limescale continuously with an indicator light and audio signal to tell you when it needs emptying. Simply remove the plug and let the water and scale particles flow out.
