As the delivery brought the package, I was a bit shocked at the beginning, because the weight of the carton is not to be underestimated. But fear not: without the ironing system, which naturally brings a certain weight with itself due to its 2.5-liter water tank, the iron itself is very easy. Even after 45 minutes ironing my arm has not become difficult.
When unpacking a fall immediately a Quick Start Guide in your hands. This describes means easy to understand pictures actually all the essentials. You can start right now! If you still prefer to reread again, for there is a small manual of 1 1/2 pages, which is kept easy to understand with short sentences. It's the little gestures that count for the customer loyalty and because Philips is really perfect in it - so the warranty certificate serves as a bookmark for the German part of the manual. A more searching is no longer necessary! So it made me happy that the charts can be folded out from the side plates left and right.
But the real - ironing: Yes, I love it with this iron is actually fun! This is of course on the Highligt, the Optimal Temp - function. So I need to make any manual temperature and steam setting. My dark purple Philips ironing station thinks independently with. Finally no more scorching and no Preparing your laundry! I liked it really liked it not even took a minute, so I can get started. Philips Thus undercuts itself, who still speak in the user two minutes. Philips also advertises in order to be ultra-quiet. Yes, that's right! Only now and then makes the machine a short buzzing sound, otherwise it is quiet as a mouse. The cable to the socket is 1 1/2 meters not very long, but it has a Velcro closure to clean up afterwards.
Also to use I am very satisfied: A particularly large ironing surface has the iron not true, but it is nice forward tapered. So I'm also in the folds corners.
The only negative I see is draining the remaining water after ironing. This could have been solved a little better. However, the clouds the overall impression only minimal and does not lead to the fact that a star of the championship must be deducted.
I am very happy thanks to XXL-water tanks, ernergiesparenden mode and especially the fact that no temperature and steam setting is necessary.
