    Overview

    More powerful than a traditional iron, the PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron raises the bar when it comes to caring after your clothing. Supplying up to 145 grams of continuous steam per minute, the PerfectCare efficiently permeates fabrics to rapidly smooth out creases. For stubborn creases in tougher fabrics such as denim, the steam boost can emit up to 490 grams of extra steam.

    Featuring silencing filters to minimise steam noise, coupled with a sound-absorbing platform to reduce vibration, the PerfectCare won’t drown out ambient household sound. Designed for easy use, the iron is lightweight, gliding easily over your clothing and other fabric, for efficient ironing and reduced wrist strain. The PerfectCare can even be used vertically, steaming curtains and hanging garments with ease. And with a large 1.8 litre detachable water tank, you can use the PerfectCare Elite for up to two hours of continuous use.
    Optimal Temp Technology

    Guaranteed to never cause burns to any ironable fabric, OptimalTemp technology allows you to iron your fabrics without having to adjust the temperature or other settings. Able to iron any fabric from denim and silk, to cashmere, OptimalTemp helps make your ironing easier than ever.

    DynamiQ Technology

    DynamiQ Technology features an advanced motion sensor to know how and when your iron is moving, releasing precise volumes of steam when needed, for faster ironing. The steam will automatically start when the iron is moving and will stop when the iron does.

    T-ionicGlide Soleplate

    The T-ionicGlide Soleplate features a stainless steel base and patented 6-layer coating with advanced titanium layer for ultimate gliding performance and rapid ironing results.

    Eco Mode

    Designed for delicate fabrics such as silk, the Eco Mode will generate less steam and energy to smooth out wrinkles and creases in your garments.

    Brilliant but not perfect
    I love this iron, it makes tackling the ironing pile so much quicker and easier plus the iron itself can be used vertically for steaming jackets etc. BUT it's currently back with Philips to be fixed, having developed a serious leak from the generator base and scale having built up in the soleplate, meaning that the iron squeals like a stuck pig when in use and leaks brown water. I'm hoping that this is just a rogue one and isn't the norm for this product as other than these issues which will hopefully be fixed or the iron replaced, it is so much better than a traditional iron. I'm still mystified as to how the temperature thing works as you really can switch from one fabric to another without any fear of scorching or melting.

    Very easy handling and tough as nails. The locking mechanism also makes moving easy.

    This takes ironing to a whole new level!
    The steam is really high pressure, but it does not produce the moisture you might expect. The iron is also surprisingly quiet, just a little chug chug noise while getting ready to use. The “no burn” technology is a bonus, never having to change the temperature for different material types - this is such a time saver if you are working through a weekly pile of clothes. The biggest con for me is the size, this is a beast and is far too heavy to sit on my existing ironing board. Be warned, you’ll need to invest in a different ironing board that can hold the weight and they don’t come cheap. Overall though, this iron has made my life so much easier. Squeeze, steam, glide and it’s done!
