Philips Steam Iron 5000 Series, 2400 W Power, 40 g/min Continuous Steam, 180 g Steam Boost, SteamGlide Plus, DST5020/26, Blue

Love my new iron, easy to use

Always like Philips irons and this is no exception. Early days but it appears very good, lightweight and easy to handle.

I spent ages trying to find a replacement iron. I ordered quite a few but either they were too heavy or the handles were uncomfortable. This iron is exactly what I was looking for. It is very comfortable to hold, as soon as it has heated up there is no leaking, and it removes creases, including on linen, effectively. Some reviews say the cord is too short but I have not found that to be a problem from where I plug it in. I would definitely recommend this iron.

Excellent product. Different heat settings, ok cord length, not too heavy, very good iron.

Really pleased with this Iron. It's nice & light, has a long lead and works perfectly. All the controls are easy to use so very happy. I used a major retailer for my previous purchase but had to return it as the cord was not long enough but the hassle they made me go through to get a refund was so upsetting! Never buy from them again but do use their showroom to check stuff out & buy from a customer oriented Amazon!!

Bought this after reading numerous reviews and the fact that I had just disposed of a previous Philips iron after 16 years hard work. This new one heats up quickly, but makes the most awful clicking noise when used. I put it down to newness, we shall see. It pressed my clothes well initially, bit after half an hour it made a huge hiss and deposited water onto the ironing board. Thankfully not on a garment!! Yes, I had read the instructions and followed them carefully. Also, no filling cup was enclosed or a way of keep the cord secure. My last Philips had a piece of velcro tape which held the cord neatly in place without kinks. Luckily I kept the measure cup. Overall, not very impressed, expensive for the job hopefully, it will do.

This is a good iron with generous steam power. However the instruction leaflet is useless. Most of it does not apply as it is written in many languages and the illustrations are not helpful. It takes much unfolding and refolding to use the sheet. A book format would be so much better. I am still not sure how to use the descale button.

Rubbish it failed to work shortly after the guarantee expired
