Particularly annoyed me was that I was able to smooth sensitive materials only with a very low temperature, but that I was also no steam available. That's the Philips Silence PerfectCare different. Here me is always and constantly available steam! So the ironing of shirts and blouses is a lightness, yes so makes ironing even fun. Everything is smooth, it is progressing well. The water tank is large enough so that I have rarely refill. That was with the steam iron quite annoying, the amount was small and I had to every time just pull the power plug. Refilling while ironing falls fortunately very unspectacular, remove, fill, and briefly again be heating up and on we go.
The vapor pressure is very neat with 6 bar. The constant steam output of 120 g / min ensures a smooth result when these clothes. Should I not even be satisfied, I can use the steam boost button press and dispose so more than twice the amount. The steam jet is indeed very impressive and very effective. I use this very much during vertical ironing. I prefer to call it refreshing than ironing. If I take a jacket or a blouse out of the closet, which act somewhat wrinkled, so I can brush up in this way the garment again. This is not to be compared with the ironing of course, but is incredibly useful. For example, even if a jacket is not washable, but smells of smoke from the last party or the last visit to the pub. So I can not prima entknautschen and refresh!
Another new feature is the Eco Mode to save energy in order to reduce the vapor emissions, but is still sufficient for lighter materials such as T-shirts. I use it rarely, but nice that there are these. As endurance test I iron my huge, plain cotton tablecloth, put twice. Here the contrast with other steam iron stations is clear: the increased vapor pressure and the strong shot of steam make here noticeable. I can iron several layers, I have to turn much less, fold and turn and, above all, I am much faster. The result is convincing: simple smooth, confident even with my very high expectations. And that's the difference with the previous models: more quickly, more effectively, more efficiently, precisely because infected a higher power behind it.
My soleplate looks like new, no scratches, no adhesions. After ironing and off, I pour out the remaining amount of water from the tank. The iron comes back on the shelf and is fixed there. The cables can be much better stowed in the provided cable trays in this model. Now I can ship this whole station by the handle and put it in the closet. Since it is very compact and not really very large, they can comfortably accommodate. In addition, to give for accommodation still a kind of pocket, so that the station does not dust a
My conclusion is here clearly positive. These steam-ironing station is an innovative further development of the predecessor models. Even externally you treading new ground and furnished a home appliance with an extraordinary, extravagant design. A prompt has considerably increased and so, for more efficient ironing. Very practical, safe, easy to handle, very user friendly and much quieter than their predecessors. With these increased steam and pressure I can reasonable and time-saving large piles of ironing do not worried about material and temperature to make. The iron itself is well and securely in your hand and can perform without fatigue. The solution to the calcareous water must convince just as well as the transport safety and transport handle.
Also multilayer ironing and absolutely successful flattening of heavy cotton fabrics is possible thanks to the performance: Especially in difficult to be ironed laundry to the difference to other ironing systems revealed.
A huge relief and time savings. For households with a high volume of ironing as much to ironing baby clothes or numerous to plättenden dress shirts is worth the purchase in any case. The price-performance ratio is right. Time and effort of the housewife are priceless!
