PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator - 2400W, 500g Steam Boost, 7.5 Bar Steam Pressure, OptimalTEMP Technology, 1.8L Tank, Black/Purple (GC9650/80)

This is a top end iron. It is sophisticated through intelligence which makes it very easy to use. Will iron thick denim then straight into thin man made fibres. Can leave it face down on board and clothes so no need to twist and stand it to keeping space free on your board. Will iron sheets which are layered and doubled over. Eco mode, with reduced steam, is fine for shirts but need full power for heavy cotton. Generates a lot of steam which blasts through clothes. Clothes can feel damp after but you can go over again without steam. Does steam a room up quickly so work with a window open or alfresco ironing in the summer. The whole unit is bulky but easy to carry two handed. Light head unit would be good for anyone with grip weaknesses. But they may find moving the whole unit around a challenge. The start up time is less than 2mins. The hose is long enough to have the base on the floor or on the board if stable. Water capacity is good for at least 1 hour of ironing on full power. The cable and hose storage is odd and takes some getting used to, but works and feels like it doesn’t stress the cable like the coil around my old iron. You could buy multiple mid range irons for this price. I bought on Black Friday so a much lower than RRP. While a great iron the RRP is too high. Feel it should be perhaps 2 x a mid range iron / basic steam generator. If you do a lot of ironing (love or hate it) this iron is worth the investment.

Very light weight to use. (MId 60's) And works very well.

Expensive but brilliant steam iron. Irons out any hard creases and glides over garments so easy, would def recommend.

I purchased this model to replace my Bosch that was no longer producing steam and cutting out. This new Philips Steam Generator Iron is easy to use and 100times easier to empty the reservoir. It has a generous cord length and I'm impressed with the steam boost function. The only negative I've found is the iron handle feels quite flimsy, but I would recommend this iron on its overall performance.

Absolutely fabulous You don’t even feel your ironing Just glides across and can’t burn anything because of the temperature does it itself I am so happy 😁

Bought this for my wife after her previous steam generator iron damaged a delicate new blouse. Much research on the web made this an expensive but ideal choice. She is really pleased with it and I have used myself and found it great. Pros:- No temperature control. It doesn't need it so you cannot get it wrong. Won't damage delicates even when left on the same spot for lengthy time. Really powerful steam makes short work of jeans etc. It's really light and easy to use. it's a quality well made product. Cons:- It's expensive but worth it.

Junk. Leaks water every time you use it for the first minute, so you basically need to iron a tea towel to stop it ruining a shirt etc. Needs a calc/clean about every 2 hours. And just tried to go on Philips site and it has a recall. So maybe that's why it's so crap. A burn risk!! Rubbish. And cost £270

Quick, lightweight to use. Bags of steam generated and very quiet. Water tank is large and detachable so can fill at any point. The decalc screw seems to work well.
