Review Content: As my wife says, "It's Fantastic, every woman (or person who does the ironing) should have one!"
Of course you could say that about any steam generator iron and incase you don't know the advantages of one here they are:-

1. The iron itself is much lighter than a conventional iron as the water and heating elements are elseware so it's much easier on the wrists.

2. It considerably shortens the time taken to do your ironing, because the steam power guarantees you only needing to iron one side, often with only one pass.

3. This one will go for 45mins to an hour before needing a refil, which can be done without switching it off or losing steam pressure.

All that steam power comes at the cost of using your electric faster (2200w) but as it's faster to work the running costs can be less than a normal iron.

As for this iron in particular, the Philips is well made, well finished, comes with extras (like tank level indicator lights) normaly seen on more expensive models and is simple to use.
