Philips GC6842/30 -höyrysilityskeskus

Purchased to replace a Philips steam generator iron that was 10 to 12 years old. This one was 2/3rds the price, is more compact, much lighter, has better features and is just as easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I would advise is to read the instructions properly before setting up the steam generator iron.

Another smart thing I noticed was how light the iron was and feels comfortable while ironing. The design is also sleek and functional.

It does not have a temperature regulator as this is done automatically by the iron recognising the type of fabric been ironed so you do not need to worry about temperature settings.

The soleplate is beautifully designed and extra smooth to glide over most types of fabrics.

It has a very powerful steam so you need to get used to applying pressure on the button.

Overall I was very pleased with the performance of the steam generator iron and believe it would serve us for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this Steam generator iron for a couple of weeks and I’m finding it amazing. It has good size, feels very sturdy, good compact and lightweight, easy to store. The size of the water cavity is great and it lasted a long time before needed a refill. It heats up quick and it is very easy on use, even my time spending on ironing has decreased. The steam is extremely powerful and it takes all the creases out in just one swipe.

I am very satisfied with the performance of my steam generator iron and I highly recommended it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's a lot to like. It is very effective at removing creases on dry cotton shirts and trousers. Jeans iron up brilliantly too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would recommend this Iron to anyone who want's to cut down on ironing time.It is a great little iron.I say little, because it is Compact, not too heavy, but it's not light either. I like the fact that it glides over the clothes easily you only need to put light pressure on it. You also do not need to adjust the temperature on this iron, which i love. It leaves no shine, or no burns if you accidentally put the iron down on top of your clothing a bit too long. The iron is lockable, so when it's not in use, put it back on it's pump and lock into place, it won't accidentally drop to the floor if you catch it, like i have done with many irons. The water in the tank last's ages too. Even better is my Husband likes using it, so he get's the ironing done too now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Phillips Perfect Care Compact Essential Steam Generator Iron has a smooth, effortless glide and truly makes ironing a simplistic pleasure. Tough creases vanished within seconds and the duration it took to iron a number of shirts was noticeably shorter in comparison to a standard iron.

Additionally,The water tank is a very reasonable size and means that the user does not have to regularly re

fill the tank, which can be an inconvenience when using a more conventional iron.

The length of the lead on the Phillips perfect care iron is just the right length because it allows for a necessary freedom of movement to iron with ease without being too long and thus becoming problematic.

I would recommend this product as it makes one of the most dreaded household chores less of a chore and more of a pleasure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this iron i was a little sceptical at first with not having to change the dial for different garments but i was wrong you can go from ironing a delicate top to jeans without a hitch, made my ironing time much quicker you don't need to wait for any other iron to heat up or cool down , if jeans or other garments are really creased then just press the steam button, it has a large tank too so you don't have to fill it up all the time when doing a large pile of ironing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful invention and honestly has cut my ironing time in half also the result is better than I have ever achieved.it is really easy to use an temperature control is simple. Also very lightweight yet super powerful and water tank is quite big so saves time when ironing. Would highly recommend this.Another thing I love about this product is the because its perfect for storage and fits on our ironing board too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Philips PerfectCare Compact Essential Steam generator iron for a few weeks now. And WOW, what an iron it is! It has a large water tank that can store plenty of water before it needs refilled. Once it heats up, which takes a minute or so, it can generate a great amount of steam. When you begin to iron you notice how easily it removes the creases from my washing, it just seems to glide with such ease. It have never been so easy to iron. I find my self doing the same amount of items in half the time. When I'm finished, there is a nifty little lock to attach the iron to the base for easy lifting and transporting. I would highly recommend this iron.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was worried that this would be complicated to use but it could not have been simpler.

Although a compact model the water tank is a fantastic capacity meaning it doesn't have to be constantly refilled so no continuous trips to the tap.

The iron is a lightweight model too so great for my weak wrists.

My white work shirts are always heavily creased after a hot wash and the creases difficult to remove but this steam generator was a lifesaver for me. Press and release the steam button for short bursts of steam or hold down for longer stream of steam , no need to spray to water, the steam does all of the hard work for you.

I found the creases on all different fabrics were easy to remove and with the strong bursts of steam I was only having to iron one side on each trouser leg so time saving too.

If you find crease removal time consuming then give this a go, you wont regret it.
