Had to buy a new steam iron since my previous Philips finally packed up after 12 years of solid service. Another great piece of innovation by Philips where the temperature is determined by the Iron based on the type of material you are ironing. Was skeptical initially, but so far has been working great, heats up quickly, quality built and importantly easy removal of a calcium build up. Would definitely recommend at this price.

This is such a good iron and it makes the annual weekly ironing job so much easier as the crease removal is excellent while retaining water for the steam function. Not the cheapest on the market but definitely worthy the money

Been a lifelong fan on Philips irons, this one makes it easy to operate no need for temp control and it claims not to scorch. The steaming is impressive and even though you get a large water tank it will guzzle through fairly quickly but it's testament of the strength of the steam pressure. Why drop one star ? The heating for the steam function to switch on takes approx 2mins which is crazy and also, not easy to wrap the cable on the device.

Great iron, no temperature settings a little heavy for arthritis hands but does a great job. Just a bit slow to get to temperature.

PLEASE READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BEFORE PURCHASING. Bought this last year to replace yet another failing 'steam-generator' model. It worked OK. By OK I mean it was average. It worked, I guess, as in it ironed stuff. It also spat out water (and limescale) regularly - EVEN AFTER DESCALING (using the built-in descaling feature). Then, after about 8 months, it just stopped working. It won't heat up. At all. Contacted Amazon who are sending it for repair. I doubt that this will help much, as I've seen too many comments where the failure was deemed to be 'mis-use' and therefore not covered under warranty - so we'll see how that goes..... In summary, it's barely fit for purpose - and it's not a budget buy either!! **UPDATE** The iron was repaired under warranty - however when it was returned, the box was badly damaged and the iron went POP and tripped our entire house electrics on FIRST USE AFTER REPAIR. AVOID.

Once I got to grips with the picture instructions I was happy with this iron. As a seamstress I need steam power this iron is amazing. Just a button away and I’m in control. Heavy yes but I need that. Excellent.

Really simple to use - no settings - it works it all out for itself. Heavy enough to glide well and a long mains lead

Amazing iron, worth buying it
