PerfectCare Expert PlusSteam generator iron

Cuts down on ironing time. I’m really pleased with it.

The best ironing features ever! No need to eadjust the fabric settings from cotton to synthetic; never scorches the fabric; iron glides easily; cuts intoning time; has eco setting; beautifully made; no need for special water; great after saleys service.

This machine is very easy to use, the steam fuction is very quite and produces excellent results. THe ability to rest the iron on the board wihile adjusting the garment, without burning is more useful than I imagined

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This iron is so easy to use! It looks huge with the base unit but the actual iron itself is small and light weight. I love the overall look of the iron, its rose gold with the base being rose gold and purple. I've got quite a large ironing board anyway so it fits nicely on it. There's no need to refill the tank halfway through as the base unit is so big it gets the job done in one! Before i had a steam generator iron i was having trouble with descaling - i live in a hard water area meaning that i was replacing my irons every 2 years or so! When the cleaning light comes on you just let it do its thing and drain, no problems! No need to change temperate settings, it does all the work for you! Overall i definitely recommend this iron i would never go back to a non steam generator iron now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will admit that I was a bit sceptical about whether an iron costing 5 or 6 times as much as our previous one would be worth the extra cost. It turns out that it is significantly better. We already had a step change when moving from a normal steam iron to a steam generator. The base unit is huge, so you need a large and sturdy ironing board, but it means the device generates more steam power and the larger tank means you will have to let the ironing pile up for a long time before you get a load that can't be done without refilling the tank halfway through. In contrast, the actual business end is really small and lightweight. It is so slim that you can't stand it up on its own. The head of the iron is stuffed full of sensors which determine what sort of fabric you have so that the right amount of heat and steam is used so there is no control for heat. It may feel a bit intimidating to realise that a household appliance is more intelligent than you, but you get over it soon enough. The huge convenience is that you can leave the iron face down on the ironing board (for as long as you like) while you reposition your clothes. This might not sound like much but after you get used to this method of ironing you will never want to go back. Where this really wins is in its maintenance routine, which is important in a hard water area like mine. This one has a tap on the back. When the cleaning light comes on, which will be about every month or so, you put a jug under the tap and let it drain. The Philips Steam Generator is a nice looking and easy to use. This is an iron that will cut down on the time you need to iron. Good steam flow gets the job done. The size of the water tank is also a plus as once filled up I can get through good 2 - 3 baskets of washing before I need to stop and refill it. The results I get from the iron are very good, it takes me much less time to get through tough creases and in general has sped up the time it takes me which in my opinion can only be a good thing. The results are impressive across the board: the iron will handle any type of or fabric you throw at it. It can also be used effectively as a vertical steamer (helped by the extra long cord from iron to base unit. In short, this is the best iron in the best range of steam-generator type irons you can buy (in my experience that is). This iron will never cause burns to any ironable fabric. It is larger and more powerful than its stablemates and has a couple of additional features which are genuinely useful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This iron is fantastic. I assumed it would be heavy duty to the size of the unit but it is really lightweight and has cut my ironing time in half. The continuous steam function is great for vertical ironing/steaming shirts and suits. Easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips GC 8900 Series is both compact and lightweight despite having a detachable water tank holding up to 1.8 litres of tap water, the smooth sole plate glides effortlessly over all types of materials without the need to change temperatures and has a no burn feature. The steam hose is a good length to allow for vertical ironing eg curtains and stores away neatly on the base. There is also a carry lock to secure the sole plate while not in use. However, a bag to store the entire iron for ease of transportation or storage when not in use would be handy. The steam feature is both powerful and quiet, and the Max setting allows a 15 minute fast ironing cycle which is energy efficient, perfect for a small load. There is an automatic switch which turns off the appliance after 10min if not in use, a great safety feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the easiest iron I have ever used, my favourite 2 things are the fact you don’t have to set the temperature and it automatically turns off if left unattended so if I did have a forgetful day it would turn itself off. The annoyance of other irons needing water is eliminated too as it has a detachable water tank meaning easy filling it. I hadn’t really thought about the noise of an iron until I realised how quiet this one is with the steam meaning no disturbed sleep for my daughter either as she wakes up at the slightest noise. This is honestly the best iron I have ever used it is incredible to you and also looks lovely too.
