Philips GC4918 / 30 Azur Perfect Care steam iron (Optimal Temp, 2800 W, 200 g of steam) Purple / White (Kitchen)

Customer Review

Previously I had a cheaper Philips steam iron, which was half the price and has to my mind at least as well ironed.
I Bügle mainly blouses and shirts at level 2. Never to level 1 (because there are no irons in standard steam) and stage 3 I need rarest, therefore I sort anyway no underwear ;-)
The advantage of being able to iron anything with a setting I do not see so: Philips himself writes that this works with low temperature and for a lot of steam.
That means I have no way times to iron slightly higher temperature in reverse.
For a good result you need maximum steam of three settings (no steam, eco, max). Since the tank is then quickly empty. The have already written other, I did not think that it annoys me so.

The slightly higher weight did not bother me.

The heating takes much longer than in my old model.

Conclusion:
The high price is not justified in my opinion.
I do not know what an iron used for the super reviews beforehand, ironing performance and sliding performance are no better than with my old irons.
In this case, I have a feeling this is more a marketing gimmick than a high-tech product for a much too high a price.
I would not buy this again iron.
