Very worthy successor (with a small flaw)

With very chic design, you is because the new Phillips Dampfbügelstation GC6800 - In purple / black with blue light-emitting diodes. What is striking is the very generous 2.5 liters water tank. But here also is already the only negative I could find!
While previous models were provided with a removable 1.5 liter tank, the machine must now be self-filled and unfortunately also the residual water be poured here. Both are done by a flap which is integrated into the top of the tank. Unfortunately, the opening through an open iron fuse is half covered! When pouring the remaining water you have to handle with the whole station, and this is possible, but cumbersome at 6,6kg (total weight)!
Very clearly, there is a panel of only 3 buttons: On / Off, Eco and Decalc.
In Eco mode, the ironing system is working with about 1/3 of their full power, but is perfectly adequate for shirts and thin fabrics!
Dekalc lights up when you have to empty the separator of the station here provides a metal spiral, that no lime device on the ironing and it's scary as the water is brown after only one tank by Kalkschwebeteilchen (Berlin).
The 1.50 m long steam hose is a garage at the foot of Dampfbügelstation and 1.80m long cable can be tied with the supplied Velcro tape to a small package.
The iron itself is in a trough at a 45 ° angle to the station, so is not a slip or fall out possible. The rearwardly open handle, thickened toward the end and is wonderful in his hand. With its barely 500g net weight and the very strong shot of steam (in conjunction with a very lubricious Sole), the iron barely burdens the wrist. I've used quite a while to realize that the blue diode strip under control, only available while flashing until the machine is ready for work (about 2 minutes). Then he radiates Permanently.
The handling is easy (as support is in addition to a richly illustrated instruction booklet with a thick instruction manual) - Filling the water tank, push plug into the socket and start button, then open the transportation lock of the iron and losbügeln!

Conclusion: I was thrilled with my old Phillip Dampfbügelstation, you will almost provided by the New in the shade! Except for the shortcoming to the filling / emptying the water tank, this steam generator iron is probably one of the best on the market! This machine makes (me) ironing really fun!
