For several years now we have a steam generator iron is in use, the Tefal GV 8330 Pro Express Steam Generator. The complete apparatus weighs 6kg good, but you have to move the actual Iron only about 1.3kg over the laundry.
When Philips GC4410 / 22 Azur Steam iron with SteamGlide soleplate Steam the stuffed iron weighs about 1.6kg, but the power cord is lighter and more flexible than the vapor tube of the ironing station. An error appeared at us in the operating instructions, in the general description part 2 and 3 were reversed filling opening and Dampfstoßdüse, after a brief irritation but this was quickly realized.
In practical operation, the Philips glides well and easily about the various materials and leaves through the proper temperature and steam quantity regulation also quickly clean results, without having to edit the laundry several times. Striking and pleasant is the fast heat. Ideal for use when more quickly once the collar, placket, or else must be reworked to nightlife clothes.
For larger quantities, the ironing system the greater amount of water in the tank and the lower weight plays out its advantages, in his hand.
There is really no ideal iron for all tasks and so come with us on a regular basis both devices, as needed, are used.
Addendum: It is rare that I later raising a rating. But this iron has evolved due to its pleasant weight and low noise level in the last few weeks the first choice in our household. Since the need for frequent refilling plays not so important. A half star more sums it up with us, "we like very" ;-)
