Philips Domestic Appliances PerfectCare 6000 Series Steam Generator - 2400W, 500g Steam Boost, 6.5 Bar Pressure, OptimalTEMP Technology, 1.8L Tank, White/Blue (PSG6026/20)

I never thought I'd rave about an iron let alone pay this much for one but honestly, it's one of the best household gadgets I've ever purchased.It's lightweight and comfortable to use and the steam generator is second to none, hefty continuous blasts whenever you need them. It's also a doddle to use as there's no need to set the temperature - there's literally no dial, I don't know how it works but I've gone from a thick shirt to a silk blouse and it removes creases effortless but not burned a thing.It's also really smart, I live in a very hard water area which regularly clogs and destroys things but the iron monitors itself and warns when it needs a clean, then with the push of a button, it cleans itself through into the provided tray expelling all the built up muck in under 2 mins.Honestly, yes it's expensive but it's well worth the money!

This replaced my 15 year old Philips generator iron. I was amazed at the power of the steaming, so much so that it was too much in the heatwave! This is an excellent iron. Automatically adapting to whatever material you are ironing is brilliant. The only thing I'm not impressed with is the steam tube tidy. Firstly, there is nowhere to put the electric cable and secondly the place given for the steam cable is so difficult to use. The cable is very stiff and solid so trying to curve it into the specified grooves is really hard to do especially as I'm arthritic. I wish that being a high end iron they had designed that part better. Of course it may not bother many, but I wanted a smaller iron than I had, which could be stored easily. It does fit that criteria, but extremely difficult to do for me. It's a nice light weight and because of the iron lock to the base, easy to carry around. I'm hoping it lasts me like my previous Philips iron did. I would recommend this as it does speed up ironing and do a great job.

Our last Philips steam generator iron lasted over 7yrs and I’ve no doubt this will be the same.Big steam pressure, easy gliding and does everything you’d want it to - so it’s an excellent choice for sure.Minor gripes would be: doesn’t stand on it’s own (but it auto shuts off so you can just put it on the ironing board while you’re moving clothes about); wire organisation is not as good as our old model (a bit fiddly); and emptying the water out when you’ve finished is quite poor as the water tank design makes it unnecessarily time consuming (you have to lift and shake simultaneously…but you get used to it).Overall it’s worth the money as it does everything you’d expect and will last many years.

A fantastic iron that makes ironing effortless

First ordered this iron, on arrival looks lovely, glides lovely, but delivers not a lot of steam, drips sometimes but made an awful loud screech noise. Contacted Phillips with a video, they said to de scale, although this was the first time using so why would I need to de scale a brand new iron; then they told me to reset the iron. After doing this the iron is still screeching, sent back to get a replacement, received the placement and it doesn’t sound quite as loud as the last one but makes the awful screeching/screaming noise. I will have to go back to tefal steam generator instead of Phillips. Very disappointed

Absolutely Amazing Iron and Excellent QaulityBought this for my son who is going into the RAF shortly.Paid a little more for this iron and it was worth every penny. Easy to use, a large water tank, masses of steam and a great descaling feature and included descaling container.It's so good, I think we'll buy another one for ourselves. Puts our own ironing board to shame.

Value for money as there is no fails on itThe iron regulates itselfIt’s excellent steam outputSelf cleaning

The steam output on this iron is genuinely impressive; it powers through wrinkles on most cottons and linens with ease. The OptimalTEMP technology is great for peace of mind, eliminating fears of burning delicate fabrics.However, this same technology is its biggest drawback for a serious ironer. It simply doesn't get hot enough to effectively press crisp creases into heavier fabrics like denim or thick canvas. For the very high price point, I expected more versatile performance.While it's a good, safe iron, you are majorly paying for the Philips brand name and proprietary tech. If you primarily deal with delicate and medium-weight fabrics, it's a solid choice. But if you need serious heat for all fabric types, you may want to look elsewhere for a better value.
