Good piece of iron. Quite expensive but does the job. Takes about 2 minutes to warm up but once it does, it does the job. Uses a lot of water though. Don’t use hard water otherwise you will cause a lot of limescale. Cord length is decent. Quite heavy but you do get used to it

Great iron, you don’t have to worry about regulating the temperature for different fabrics, highly recommended.

Like the iron and its weight. Cord is a bit annoying for storage.

When my Bosch iron came to the end of its life I was disappointed to find that Bosch no longer make irons so set about researching for an equally good iron and am thrilled to say this has surpassed my expectations. No more turning the dial backwards and forwards for different fabrics, this iron automatically and magically just adjusts itself. It seems to be impossible to scorch any clothes. It is high powered and gives off loads of steam so have to keep topping the water tank up but this is not an issue for me as it gives perfect results. There are cheaper irons you can buy but this is definitely worth paying extra for. Well pleased with this iron.

I like the look and build quality of this iron. It irons well, but takes a little while to heat up. It’s also fairly heavy, which is ok if you’re using as an iron, but if you steaming an item vertically it’s heavy. My partner struggles a little when she’s steaming one of her expensive dresses on a hanger. But for shirts, jeans etc it’s brilliant on an ironing board. The most annoying thing about this iron is the inability to wind up the cord on the iron. It’s been poorly designed from that perspective. There is also a lack of settings. It is meant to be a “smart” iron, but God knows what that really translates to - just marketing BS from my perspective. However it does the job I require, but if I had my choice again I’d probably consider alternatives.

Perfect iron, good steam amount, fast ironing

The info booklet is not in English, so you have to use the images only. It's in EVERY other language. It takes longer then expected to warm up but it's great at ironing all materials. I went from cotton to wool to silk and there were no issues. It's larger then expected but that means you iron more material in one stop pass. The cable is a good length, unlike any previous iron. A good weight, so that helps remove creases. It currently costs £5 less than I paid a week before, and the price I paid was best on the Internet at that time. I do HIGHLY recommend it. Hopefully it'll last a long time, thanks to the long guarantee. I now don't dread ironing.

The best iron I’ve purchased. Nearest to a big steam generated I’ve had. So powerful with plenty of steam. The iron is quite lightweight to use. No need to change to different heat settings. It can go straight from silk to denim. Just love it

Received item in a pretty damaged box, not sure if new or refurbished item.

Value for Money

This iron started leaking brown water from the steam vents after only a short time of use. The vents are not clogged, yet dirty water keeps coming out and staining my clothes and ironing board. On top of that, it has been a horrible experience buying from outside my country. If I had bought it locally, I could have returned it and gotten my money back immediately. Instead, I am now stuck dealing with the Philips repair center to fix a product that should never have failed this way. Very poor quality and a complete waste of money.

Liking this iron. No temperature switching in-between. Be it cotton, silk or any other materials, ease of mind and smooth too.

Overall the iron is working as expected however it doesnt have the proper boost steam , also the regular steam i highly doubt strong as described... I purchased it because it showed highest steam power from all the competitors
