Philips Domestic Appliances PerfectCare Steam Generator Iron 8000 Series, Speed Mode, Intelligent Automatic Steam, Automatic Vertical Steam, Guaranteed no Burns, PSG8130/80

When using this product the steam wets the clothes instead of steaming. Also making a loud noise. Not sure if this product is working properly. For the amount of money it cost this should NOT happen. I will be sending it back as I think it is faulty.

Unfortunately it arrived with a UK plug for Australia. I therefore have returned it. Needs to be made clearer when purchasing.

We have had this a few months now, brilliant iron. Yes, as many of the reviewers have stated, it can spray out water initially, but it does tell you to let the initial steam clear in the instructions. Once this hurdle is overcome, the iron is fantastic, one of the best we have owned. Rapid ironing and effortless removal of creases, plenty of steam and more if you need it! The water tank has more than enough to last a full basket, definitely worth the extra money, although wait for the sales :) like we did. One thing that is a little annoying, you cannot stand the iron up on the ironing board, it has to be placed back on to the base, but we think of it as an additional safety feature.

Great so far I love it. Nice and light with amazing steam production and looks fabulous too.

Awesome - moving up from a previous Phillips steam generator iron - so much easier to use, and much faster to iron. A little bit of leakage for the first piece of clothing, but nothing of concern. Good steam pressure - and well controlled. If you are comparing this to another brand, ensure that other brand has auto temperature selection - this makes a huge difference when powering through a wide variety of different materials. Not so impressed with the ironing of curtains (in situ) but I'm not convinced any iron would handle that well. Especially very good with heavy materials. Light enough to use for long periods of time with hand ache. Always best to wait for Prime day or comparative sales days, as price is drastically reduced.
