Philips GC5039/30 Azur Elite Steam Iron, 0.35 Litre, 3000 W, Black

I have had steam generator irons, and an optimal steam temperature iron in the past.This may seem a rather expensive iron when first viewed. However, it’s a quality build, easy to use no fuss iron. Providing the item of clothing can be ironed, you can’t go wrong. Iron from denim, to silk then wool and back to denim. No setting to alter, no scorched clothes.Put the iron on IQ mode, give it plenty of time to warm up and away you go.Delivers a good steam jet according to the speed of your ironing. Slow for denim = more steam. Fast for silk = less steam.I have a condenser tumble dryer and use the condensate water from there. Recommend treated water to stop scaling up.The lady of the house doesn’t like ironing. She was impressed by it.To me, that’s a testimony in itself.Expensive. But if you have a lot of ironing, it worth the money.

I am a man who loves a gadget so when I needed a new iron the lack of a temperature dial got me interested.I have to say all the online reviews are right and this is a brilliant iron.Pros:*Can iron any type of ironable garment without needing to think about temperature.*No need to use a cloth to iron garments such as trousers that would normally look shiny. Ironing directly is easy and they look perfect.*using this iron I can iron twice as quickly as normal (bear in mind I am a man!)* No more using liquid descaller, just open the compartment underneath the iron and empty.Cons:# The iron is heavy although this means you don't have to press down too much when ironing, but could be a problem for arthritis suffers.# The colour looks great but it is difficult to see the water level.# As this is a high volume steam device watch those fingers when ironing small areas.# The cable tidy is pretty useless so I tend not to use it.All in all I have been using this for a few weeks and can recommend it despite the price.

This is an upgrade from our 'basic' iron. I mean this iron works wonders. So powerful and so much steam coming out it is sooooo easy to iron with this beast! Jean's, T- shirt or voile curtains? No need to switch setting go on just iron. Money well spend . Ps. it is on a heavier side to handle but when you iron the steam just makes it glide like on ice . I guess you can sense that we love our new iron..

Great Iron with lots of steam, I got mine for £89, which is more than a bargain, because it has increased to £195! However if I knew then how good the Iron was I would happily pay the full price. The Iron is outstanding, and no matter how I let the the ironing build up, It really takes a small amount of time to iron everything. I really love this Iron, because every time I iron, it looks as if it's been professionally done. This iron makes it impossible to burn anything, even if it is left face down on silk! I don't know how it does it, but it just does. There are no thermostat controls so, you can Switch from jeans to silk without changing a thing.I have to admit I now look forward to ironing these days , because with this iron you really can breeze through your ironing in no time at all.

Fantastic iron.Only 2 things not perfect:1. It's heavier than most irons. The manufactuer is aware of this. In their use instructions, they state that it's safe to rest the iron on it's soleplate while hot. It is. The reason they suggest doing this is to have less straun on your wrist. Lol.2. It's very expensive - much more than I normally pay for an iron, BUT, it's so east to use. No steam or temperature settings to adjust. Just plug in and go, glides across any fabric! The iron "knows" how hot to get and how much steam to produce.The easily removeable calc-clean is a plus, too.

Brilliant iron.Few points to note.1. It’s kinda heavy for an iron and it’s probably bigger than most standard irons.2. Although it has a large water tank the steam output needs it so keep a top up close when you’re ironing a few bits.Overall great iron. Works well and gets rid of stubborn creases pretty well.

cord length is brilliant and so easy to use my teenager can even iron. slightly more expensive but worth the money for time saved ironing shirts. no need to change settings, only need to fill with water slightly more often, but this is not an issue. iron is slightly heavier than previous irons i have owned, however after the second time of using it never even noticed the weight. total worth the money, for ease of use and time saved

I’ve had 2 of these particular irons because the first one started leaking. The second one is packed ready to be returned also because….it’s leaking. Either Amazon have a bad batch of these or the design is poor. My ironing board ends up soaked, also the clothes I’m ironing are too, plus the carpet underneath. It isn’t pouring out but enough that everything ends up wet and then makes clothes dirty. I initially wondered if I had overfilled the water tank so I put less in but looking at the casing it appears to be the seal around the water tank. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this particular one, I’ve now ordered the newer version as a replacement but haven’t tried it yet so fingers crossed there’s no issues but considering the prices I would expect better.
