    M.P.J.H. · 29 April 2024

    This is superb.Having had my old steam iron unit start leaking but after many years 6 or more it was time to replace.Went on reviews and it lived up to them. So pleased and used many times before posting.1. Light weight unit and iron plus so easy to fill.2. Holds a lot of water3. You don’t change a temperature it does it all for you and adapts to what you’re ironing. To date no burns from cotton to work out leggings. Excellent & so clever.4. Steam boost excellent for bedding etc…5. Effortless ironing.6. Super easy to descale - place on the descale plate, select a button and it does it all for youSo far I give this 10/10

    Having had another Philips for some 15 yrs , fianlly needed changing initially bought the Russell Hobbs Steam Power Generator Iron , sorry to say that is not a good product. Returned to Bolo and prrchased this one and have to say its a great product , fairly light and compact and works very well. I especially like that it prevents clothes from getting burnt. I highly recommend it!

    I purchased this steam generation iron to replace my existing iron which was also steam generated. My iron has lots of limescale build up and the hot plate was heavily corroded. I made sure I purchased a steam generation iron as my previous one lasted over 7 years with moderate weekly usage.I would never go back to my first ever iron which was a hot press iron as they're not as efficient of effective at ironing.Moving on to the product in question - Philips PerfectCare Compact Steam Iron.ANESTHETICS-The iron is really appealing on the eye. It's of a white and blue colour but I believe it also comes in a range of other colours such as, purple. I purchased this colour as it matched its environment and it was the only colour on sale by 50%!!The iron also consists of an LED light bar on the main handle which actually pulses until it has reached temperature. This may seem unnecessary now, but when you're passing time and waiting for the iron to heat up, it's a quick indication that the iron is ready.The cord can be folded and tucked into the base which makes storing away easier and less messy.ERGONOMICS-The iron and base combined is not considerably heavy and the iron itself when using is suprisingly quite light and easy to manoeuvre.I have big handle so I can't comment on users with smaller hands however, the handle is very comfortable to hold and doesn't feel too big/small.FEATURES-As mentioned already, the iron has an LED light indication bar which also makes a chime once the iron is ready. The iron has 3 modes to choose from - Normal/ECO/Turbo. The names of the modes are obvious to their functions however, I can't see a massive difference between each mode. Selecting the modes are easy and the bottons illuminate different colours according to their mode; Normal (Blue), ECO (Green), Turbo (White). Normal mode is activated when selecting the power button. ECO is activated when selecting the ECO button. Turbo is activated by holding the power button for 2 seconds.USAGE/MAINTENANCE-The Philips PerfectCare iron doesn't just look the bits, it is also much more powerful than any previous iron I have used. I have used it to iron four baskets worth of clothes in around two weeks and the water reservoir has only just finished, which is impressive. I haven't used any fancy smart water in my device, just regular tap water.The iron has a lock mechanism at the top which holds the iron in place when not in use and prevents the iron from being knocked off.The device has a descaling mode which will auto trigger after so many uses to clean the internals of the iron. The iron will flash upon start up and will not let you proceed until a descale session has completed. In order to descale, you have to place the iron on a descale tray (provided with iron) and hold the 'calc-clean' button for 2 seconds. This will then run a descale for 5 mins and you need to ensure the reservoir is atleast half full. Once the descale has completed, you need to wait a few minutes for the device to cool down and flush any last bits.DISLIKES-Filling the unit with water involves pulling the cover door down at the front and filling directly into the unit. The iron comes with no portable container to fill up the unit and unfortunately, the tank cannot be removed. This means you would need to carry the iron to a sink to top up. To make matters worse, if your sink is too small like mine, you'd have to use the bath/shower. I have since found an easier way, by topping up using a pop bottle container.Another dislike for me, is the hideous descaling tray which I feel should have been built into the base of the unit somewhere. The tray is bound to get lost over the years which will make descaling very difficult.CONCLUSION-The pros definitely outweigh the cons and I'm overall pleased with the iron. The price, power, modern aesthetics and efficiency has completely won me over.I have given this iron 4 stars as in my opinion, it's great but there's still room for improvement.[If you found this review useful or informative, please mark as helpful]

    5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good

    When I purchased, I thought this would just be another bit of kit that lounges around and doesn't get used very often. However, it is so easy to iron with this, it actually makes the task a pleasure.The only problem I have with this is putting the cords away. It's tricky when the iron is still warm. The base where the cord goes is tight and hard to slip the cord into. Do not let this put you off thought.There is no noise from this product.The appearance of the screams luxury.This iron can be a little heavy when filled with water.I think this iron is good value.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Repair Process Very Impressive.

    The media could not be loaded. REPAIR UPDATEFirst time i have ever had to use Bolo's repair service - and i am mightily impressed to say the least.Was issued with the return label and I took the iron to the post office afternoon of 15th August. It was delivered to the repairers on the 19th and i received a text saying it had been repaired and would be returned on the 20th August. Received the iron back in full working order on the 21st August. Now that is a service!! There was a works sheet in the box saying the hose was blocked and it had been replaced. Spent 2 hours ironing in the evening last night (21st) and the iron was back to its good old working order - just like my original review. Well impressed.UPDATEAugust 24 and the steam function stopped working. Have just sent it back for repair / replace so will see how this pans out. Will update review again when i get either a repaired or new iron. I will be able to review the repairs process as i have never had to use this facility before.I am impressed with the lightweight feel of the whole iron and tank, and the lockable feature for when moving about with it. I burnt myself a couple of times with my previous iron when it fell of the base when i was putting it away. The electrical lead could be a bit longer, but the hose is more than long enough. Also like the clear reservoir and large snout for filling it. Its very easy to use, i've just got to get used to how it feels as its different to what i've been used to for the last 5 years or so. Maybe its because i've only used it a couple of times, but it just feels like there is a lag between pressing for the steam and it actually coming through. Same for the turbo boost. I will have to update my review after a months use to see how i am getting on with it. But have just done 1/2 dozen work shirts and a load of t-shirts and trousers, all in good time and with no issues.
