It has long hesitated between Philips and Calor: the design is something about the same, same power. What made the difference is the grip, the weight (200g less) and noise (less with Philips). The result is identical to a central steam and of course, less expensive! Previously we had a Calor, but after two years he kept trip the counter and used a lot. So the advantages of a and disadvantages of each other, is also opted for another brand. Remains to be seen over time.
