Philips PerfectCare 7000 Series Steam Generator - 3120W, 650g Turbopower Steam Boost, No Burns Guaranteed, Int. Automatic Steam, Ultimate Glide, No Temp settings, 1.5L Tank, Self-Cleaning - PSG7300/80

Love, love, love this iron, which was on special offer. Does not scorch or burn clothes, without the need to change any setting dependant on clothes material. Good descaler which alerts you when needed. Glides well over clothes and does not stick. For what it is, it is not heavy and when locked you can hold and carry by the iron handle. Extra steam helps to remove creases, which I keep easily on constant to help faster ironing. Easy to store

Before purchasing this I owned the (GC7840/26) model which is still available for £99.99 and whilst it was very good and performed faultlessly for 4 years, it wasn't quite cutting it so I treated myself to an upgrade with this one. I chose this model as it seems to offer more bang for your buck than the more expensive but older variations. It also looks super cool in the navy and gold livery. Anyway it came the next day, very well packed complete with de-calc tray and instruction book though I didn't really need that as it is very easy to use. The water reservoir is easily removable for easy filling under the tap and slots nicely back in before powering up. One fill will last a long time, I certainly won't be refilling it mid-session. If you are concerned about the size and weight of the unit, don't be as it can go on the floor and you still have plenty of lead to work with without over-stretching it. No need to buy a special board. Once powered up, you just wait for a minute or two for the beeps and you are good to go. You use the trigger for the steam and with no temperature gauge you can switch between cottons and delicates with literally no wait as it's the steam pressure that does the trick and it does so VERY well making ironing less of a chore and so much faster compared to a conventional iron. Note you may experience a bit of whistling/screeching on the first few uses but that soon goes. You will need to de-calc every few weeks especially if you live in a hard water area but that is easy enough. Just make sure you have plenty of water in the tank and place it in the tray provided. Hold the decalc button and stand back whilst it does it's thing. I tend to do it outdoors as it generates a lot of steam and noise. This is definitely the best iron I've used and is an excellent deal at currently around £170. It's a good upgrade on the GC7840/26 and definitely money well spent.

Initially very impressed. Ironed everything perfectly at exactly the right temperature . However, on the second use it started spitting dirty water on to my clothes. Thought it might need to be emptied (using the descaling drainage plug) in case there was dirty inside from when it was manufactured. Unscrewing the plug was quite a tight affair but it came out eventually. Quite a bit of dirty water came out but when I tried to screw the plug back in again, it wouldn't go back in and on checking, I can see the plugs female thread on the inside is out of alignment and the plug cannot locate the thread to screw back in again. Contacted Phillips and sent pictures to them and they confirmed it was faulty but instead of offering a replacement they offered a repair. Bearing in mind this iron is less than two weeks old, a replacement is their legal obligation under the sale of good act, not a repair. They then suggested if I want a replacement I have to go back to Amazon which I did and Amazon have sent out a replacement. Just as well as the price I paid was £240 and this iron has now gone up to £400 - absolutely not worth £400 and I would not have purchased it if it was £400. Let's see what the replacement is like and hopefully an improvement on this one Update: I've been using the replacement for some months now. It is faultless, perfect ironing every time. I actually enjoy ironing now. Never have to fiddle with heat setting ever again. Just pick your garment or bedding & iron for a perfect finish. Best iron I've every owned and there have been many!!

Our last Philips steam generator iron lasted over 7yrs and I’ve no doubt this will be the same. Big steam pressure, easy gliding and does everything you’d want it to - so it’s an excellent choice for sure. Minor gripes would be: doesn’t stand on it’s own (but it auto shuts off so you can just put it on the ironing board while you’re moving clothes about); wire organisation is not as good as our old model (a bit fiddly); and emptying the water out when you’ve finished is quite poor as the water tank design makes it unnecessarily time consuming (you have to lift and shake simultaneously…but you get used to it). Overall it’s worth the money as it does everything you’d expect and will last many years.

I never thought I'd rave about an iron let alone pay this much for one but honestly, it's one of the best household gadgets I've ever purchased. It's lightweight and comfortable to use and the steam generator is second to none, hefty continuous blasts whenever you need them. It's also a doddle to use as there's no need to set the temperature - there's literally no dial, I don't know how it works but I've gone from a thick shirt to a silk blouse and it removes creases effortless but not burned a thing. It's also really smart, I live in a very hard water area which regularly clogs and destroys things but the iron monitors itself and warns when it needs a clean, then with the push of a button, it cleans itself through into the provided tray expelling all the built up muck in under 2 mins. Honestly, yes it's expensive but it's well worth the money!

Veramente ottimo. Se uno non cambia non capisce cosa si perde! Unica pecca fa un brontolio delle volte quando è poggiato e non ho capito perchè nè ho trovato indicazioni sul manuale.

The unit that was delivered was defective. Upon filling the water tank, the base of the unit continously drips.

sinceramente la mejor plancha y centro de plancha que he comprado, y llevamos muchas y siempre de marcas buenas. Lo mejor? no preocuparse por la temperatura, poder planchar un vaquero y inmediatamente después una prenda delicada, no quema la tabla al reposar la plancha directamente allí, es súper manejable e ligero, no empapa, vapor constante pero controlada, poder quitar arrugas en un pis pas planchando en vertical… estoy encantada con ella, tuve suerte porque conseguí 100 euro de descuento los días de Amazon, pero sin promoción sabiendo lo que ya se, lo hubiera comprado igual. Me quita horas de trabajo desagradable y esto no tiene precio!
