Ironing is fun with my new Dampfbügelstation ...

Today I want to tell you about my experience with the Philips steam generator iron Perfect Care Aqua. Equal first, i hate ironing !!! So far I have dealt with a normal steam iron mountain of ironing. Most are at least 20 shirts a month in the temple basket and I push ironing always to last out. Therefore, I am particularly pleased that I was able to test a steam generator iron ...

In a very large box, the steam generator iron is supplied. Quick unpacked and losgelegt ...
The steam generator iron is very large and 6 kg. The cable is 1.8 meters long and the hose of the iron and lead 1.6 meters. On top of the water tank is located on the iron. The water tank is not removable, but holds a sufficient quantity of 2.2 liters of water.

In the rear area of ​​the on / off switch is fitted with an indicator light. Right, the ECO button for ECO mode (ECO Mode) are turned left and the EASY DE-CALC. The display starts flashing as soon as the descaling operation is carried out.

On the side of the EASY-DE CALC closure is attached, after about a month or 10 ironing operations, the steam generator should be decalcified at the latest. So far, I had not yet the de-scaling program, it is but very well described in the manual.

On my board (small, older model) is the Dampfbügelstation it unfortunately no place, so I put them on a table next to the board, because the cable of sufficient length, this is possible without any problems.
Fill the water tank and the steam generator iron pin grid. Depress the power button and the standby display looks during heating the steam generator iron. Once it is heated, the indicator lights continuously.

With the "OptimalTemp" technology no adjustment of temperature or ironing step is required, all materials can be ironed ironing true with the steam generator iron. Thanks to this technology and the iron must be parked on the board, it will leave no burn.

Three ironing facilities provides the Dampfbügelstation:
1. Dry ironing
2. steam ironing with the steam trigger
3. steam ironing with the steam function
Equally Vertical steam ironing is possible to simply press to hanging clothes in a vertical position the steam trigger.

Conclusion: The steam generator iron is quickly ready for use and the operating instructions describe the course of applications. If you have previously worked with a conventional steam iron, you're excited about the Dampfbügelstation immediately. She makes ironing easier and immensely also brings a tremendous time saver. The filling of the water in the water tank is a little difficult, because usually something goes wrong. An extra Befüllbehältnis is not, but in my opinion, not necessary. When XXL water tank 2.2 liter I just used my kitchen measuring cup with 1.5 liters. I think it would be better if the entire water tank would be removed, so a simple filling and pouring out of residual water after ironing is possible. Another downside is the size and weight, because I now have to soon buy a new matching board me. Temporarily I will continue to use the table-board variant, this is the steam generator iron on the table next to the ironing board. Points could Dampfbügelstation to 100% in the power bracket, the application and turn off automatically just after 10 minutes. So you never make again worry whether you have also taken off the iron.
