The Philips GC8650 / 80 Perfect Care Aqua is a Dampfbügelstation the superclass. We had previously only simple iron and were therefore really excited about the station. Even my sweetheart, ironing as I admittedly more, keeps the station for a great relief. For a family with children, the acquisition of such a station is definitely worth. The time and effort that one saves so, de justify not very cheap price. So far we have the impression that the station is very well made (and the rest looks quite chic), but can use for less than a month, of course, to the longevity nothing to say. Conclusion: For large families ideal, though not cheap.
