Good Day. The Philips GC4870 / 02 Azur steam iron is a very good device in its function. After I got it delivered, I stood my ironing laundry pile and gave a bow Marathon. I can say that I even had fun. However, my previous Iron was a long time without steam function - so I was not spoiled. In my opinion, the setting "Ionic DeepSteam" is (The ionization process creates smaller steam particles that reach deep into the tissue ...), not very effective. Basically comes much steam, you can dispense but. Unfortunately, this setting is on the handle so that I have repeatedly changed the amount of steam or even have the key "Ionic DeepSteam" accidentally activated. Much vapor = plenty of water refilling. But you can have a ready supply of water and organize. The sole is top! The housing is mainly made of plastic. The knob for adjusting the various ironing temperatures is made a little cheap. That does not bother not but he funtioniert. Heavy it does not happen to me, it can be manageable. Conclusion: The iron is recommended and the price is justified. Many Thanks.
