WOW! July 23, 2008
A. Wallington (Norfolk, UK)
Well, what can I say? If I tell you that I bought this item last week and as soon as I got it I steamed (literally!) through 4 weeks - YES! 4 WEEKS - worth of ironing - in just 2 hours and actually enjoyed it that should tell you how brilliant this machine is!
I actually HATE ironing and am ashamed to say that I usually iron as little as possible if I can get away with it, pulling things out of the ironing basket on a "need to wear" basis! However, after seeing my daughter with her new budget steam iron I decided to do some research for myself. And this is the one I decided upon. I'm so glad I did!
You can get budget priced steam generating irons at a about a third of the price of this one which, Im sure, work well. However, my research made me realise the points that I personally needed. These are:
1. Detachable water tank so I dont have to carry the whole thing to the sink to empty or fill
2. Variable steam pressure - there are 4 settings for steam so ironing more delicate or lighter fabrics is a breeze!
3. Mega shot of steam at 4.5bar pressure - WOW! This really gets the creases out of hard to iron cotton duvets and jeans without a hitch.
4. Option to dry iron - no problem
5. Minimum noise - the pump comes on only when needed for just a few seconds and is quite quiet - I had no problems listening to the radio and telly whilst ironing
6. The iron itself is a great shape and makes it easy to get between buttons or do shoulders of shirts etc.
7. Extra steam at the tip of the soleplate for those hard to reach places
8. Very very large water capacity - 1.4 litres. It ran for the full 2 hours without needing to be refilled - brilliant!
I could go on but suffice to say that this was a fantastic buy and Im really pleased with it.
One word - the instructions say that it comes with a filler cup which was not included in the packaging - when I phoned Phillips they said that they have stopped putting these in to save on packing and unnecessaries. I must admit that it isnt a problem and all hail to Phillips for being environmentally friendly but I wish they had put an adendum in the booklet so I knew not to expect it!
All in all a brilliant purchase and a very good price from Amazon when you include postage. However, I got mine from Argos for 129.99 simply because I wanted it quickly. Go buy!
