Versuni Philips Azur 8000 Series Steam Iron - 85 g/min of Continuous Steam, 260g Turbo Steam Boost, 3000 W, OptimalTEMP Technology, SteamGlide Elite Soleplate, Dark Blue (DST8050/26)

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.

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

received open and damage box as if it is returned many times.

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

Value for Money

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

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

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.
