PHILIPSEasySpeed GC1028 2000-Watt Steam Iron (Blue)

It is good for daily use

Sturdy design

My decades old Rowenta iron fell so has to get another... Decided to get Phillips, overall it's decent, however doesn't come near the class of Rowena (made in Germany, which gives a professional iron result with just one drag of the iron over the cloth)... 16amp plug point needed, won't plug into 5 amp easily. It's refreshingly lightweight, but that means i had to go over the fabric with the hot iron (on linen mode) a few times to get the creases out.... No drip yet...i always use RO water so generally never face calcification issue with iron. Generally need iron for cotton and linens which actually get v creased after wash, so wish it got hotter and had a bigger plate as that would speed up ironing which is never something pple enjoy doing especially in Summers... Someone's review mentioning that this iron is working well since 10yrs so prompted me to buy it..For now, I'll keep it and see performance, hope it lasts 10 yrs!April 5, called Amazon as price of same iron dropped to 1780/-, mine was delivered 30th March and i paid 2380/- ...but they said they can't do anything... Mine is still within return window ... Disappointed ☹️After using for a year, it's a good iron

FIRST OF ALL I WAS USING AN DRY IRON AND WANTED TO UPGRADE TO A GOOD IRON SO I CHOSSED FOR THIS PHILIPS IRON, AFTER ALL ITS AN WELL KNOWN REPUTED COMPANY AND SERVING FOR ITS CUSTOMERS SINCE DECADES BUT AFTER USING FOR AROUND 10 MONTHS SOME PROBLEM CAME UP AND THE FAITH TO THIS COMPANY TURNED INTO NIGHTMARE. BEFORE THAT I WANT TO PUT SOME GOOD POINTS REGARDING THE PRODUCT1.ITS HEATS UP FAST AND GOOD VERY NICE.2.STEAM IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR PERSONNEL OR HOME USE I THINK SO. CAUSE ITS TANK RUNS OUT LITTLE BIT QUICKLY IF THE STEAM FUNCTION IS USED CONTINUOUSLY.3.LOOKS ELEGANT4.HEAT SELECTOR IS GOOD DOES ITS JOB.5.EASY TO USE. OVERALL A GOOD IRON . NOW THE HEADCHE PART WITH THE PRODUCT SERVICE AND ITS REPRESENTITIVE I HAVE CAME WITH SOME ISSUES WITH THE SOLE, SO I CONTACTED THROUGH MAIL WITH THE PHILIPS IND. LTD. AFTER THEY ARRANGED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE, I PERSONALLY TOOK THE IRON TO THE SERVICE CENTRE AFTER EXAMINING THE SOLE PROBLEM OF MY IRON THEY INSTANTLY IGNORED FOR ANY SERVICE SUPPORT, SAYING IT HAS NO PROBLEM IN THE IRON ITS HEATING AND I CAN BE USED, BUT I TRIED TO CONFRONT HIM BY SAYING THAT ITS PROBLEM IS ITS SOLE WHICH IS STARTING TO BUBBLE AND WILL PEEL UP SORTLY AFTER SOME TIME, BUT HE DENIED THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE UNTIL AND UNLESS WHOLE OF THE SOLE PLATE GETS DAMAGE, THEN I SAID THAT WILL YOU KINDLY TAKE SOME PICTURES AND SEND TO THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES FOR ANY HELP, BUT THE SERVICE PERSONNEL CLEARY DENIED BY SAYING THAT HE KNOWS THE COMPANY RULE AND IT IS USELESS TO CONTACT IN THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO . AFTER REPEATED REQUEST FOR MY WARRANTY CLAIM AT LAST HE TURNED UP RUDE AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE PLACE. I WAS REALLY AMAZED WITH THE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR BY AN COMPANIES EXECUTIVE WHO ASKS COSTOMERS TO LEAVE THE PLACE, WHAT TYPE OF IMAGE WILL BE OF THIS TYPES OF COMPANIES WHO ASKS TO GET OUT FROM ITS SERVICE STORES, I AM SPEECLESS. SO THINK TWICE, THRICE BEFORE OPTING ANY PHILIPS EQUIPMENTS DONT GO BLINDLY, RESEARCH FOR A GOOD SERVICE NETWORK COMPANIES TO GET RID OF SUCH USELESS HEADACHE. MY HARD EARNED MONEY WENT FOR VAIN SO DONT BE FOOL BEFORE BUYING IT.

Nice
