This steam iron has stuck us for a simple reason: the noise level is exceptionally low! Generally, my wife and I's revisit (alternatively, we are a modern couple :) watching TV or listening to music. With the Philips GC9222 or Calor / 02 (not as terrible name ...), the noise level is consistently too high to follow the current program. It did not seem important words like that, but spend half an hour on Sunday to recover clothes, not bad nicer if we can at the same time update on Game of Thrones or replay of the 9th Symphony Dvorjak without missing details ...
In short, you'll understand that this plant has a great interest: silence. Not absolute, but almost. Let us add that fine line is already very pleasantly enhanced by beautiful golds. The set is luxurious, very pleasant to use, and highly recommend to those who can afford it.
Note that the two plants cited in comparison (Calor and Philips) are already very good shopping. If you have not tasted the pleasure of a steam power plant, and the other one will fill you. But this high-end Philips will give you a little more.
Many greetings.
