GC9360/20

I have wanted to invest in a steam generator for many years.i was unsure of which brand to purchase, and after reading the reviews on this one I took a chance. I am so glad I did, easy to use, went through all my ironing without having to alter the temperature ( you cannot with this as no setting to do so) you can iron silk and cotton without the risk of scorching. Its a brilliant product, did my ironing in half the time

Okay, here is an honest review. I bought this iron (the Philips PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron GC9630/20) in December 2017, Before that, I bought a similar Iron in May 2015 (GC8650/80) which is more expensive. So the 1st iron (2015 one) lasted 2.5 years but I used tap water. This iron I used de-ionised water (from well known UK super market). This iron just broke down yesterday (16/03/2025). So, it lasted 7 years, 2 months. The valve which builds up the pressure began to fail and started making a lot of noise. In that 7 years, It's never leaked and never burnt any clothes. The plate is still flawless and I use the iron every week for a family of 4 for about 2-3 hours at a time (377 weeks). To be honest most irons should last a similar time if using de-ionised water. My previous iron plates have detreated and burnt clothes so the Philips plate technology is pretty good. It takes about 2 minutes to warm up and create the steam and once up to pressure. It maintains that pressure throughout the ironing cycle where very rarely, you would have to wait to build up the pressure again (i.e. when you blast the steam for ages). It's light, quick, the lead and steam pipe stores away in cavities around the edges, it has about 1.5m cord length so you need to be close to a socket, removes most creases effortlessly and 1 tank of water lasts about one 2.5 hour session of ironing. Since 2017, it's gone up about £40 but as I'm quite impressed by it's performance so today, I have ordered the same iron again. It is expensive and I am sure I could find a cheaper one but after long time, you get so used to this iron, does not make sense to go into the unknown. Lets see if the new one outlasts the old one. Well done Phillips. A little expensive but a great product.

Used my daughter’s and liked it so much I bought one. It’s a big piece of kit, so you need a big cupboard space. Mine sits on the work surface in my utility area. The base unit is quite heavy. My daughter keeps hers on the tray at the end of her ironing board, but my tray isn’t big enough. I put the unit on the work surface in front of my ironing board and can also plug it in there. The cord from the base is long enough for the iron to be used all over the ironing board. The water chamber is filled with ordinary tap water. We live in a hard water area so I am interested to see how the descaling system works. I haven’t had the iron long enough to find out yet. The lead from the base to the iron carries both water and power so there is a constant supply of heat and steam if desired. I use the button under the handle to dispense steam if needed. The iron is really light to use, which I appreciate as my hand get weaker. The iron automatically adjusts the heat to the fabric, which is great and the generous water tank means few refills. The overall quality of the ironing finish is impressive. Overall, this is lightweight and easy in use, giving a good result. Just be aware you need storage space and it isn’t as straightforward to set up as a conventional iron. I am pleased to have mine

Fantastic steam generator to use. Lightweight iron with long pipe allowing you to site the water unit on a worktop & still iron the full length of a large ironing board. Easily removes creases from a large pile of mixed ironing without you having to sort due to the single heat setting. Unfortunately I have had to have the unit repaired three times already in 18 months due to issues with the sole plate - it stops heating up & water instead of steam comes through. It's heading back for a fourth time time now so the 2 year warranty has been beneficial and easy to arrange repairs but I'd have rather not have to!!

This is the most fantastic iron and makes ironing a breeze. It really does cut ironing time in half and the extra large water container is so easy to transport and fill. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

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

Ironing was so easy and crease-free. However, the iron lasted only two months... one day, instead of steam, hot water started to pour out of it. Might try a different model.

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

Ik krijg een product met een Engelse stekker. Gemeld maar geen oplossing
