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

I’ve used this iron three times over the past three weeks and I can honestly say it’s the best iron I’ve ever owned. It’s incredibly light, heats up very quickly, and glides smoothly over clothes, making ironing fast and effortless. What used to feel like a chore now feels surprisingly easy and even enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

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.

Buy this iron if you wanna test your patience. It may very well be the most F'... up iron ever. The heating time feels endless. If you make a 40-second interruption to ironing, the endless waiting time starts over. You literally want to smash this thing to the wall. Furthermore, it leaks water like crazy. They even admit it in the user manual. See the attached picture. It continues to leak like a fountain anytime. It is astonishing that the designers of this iron clearly haven't used it once. It is a punishment. You can present it to the people you hate. To use this iron can be incorporated into the legal system as a punishment method for some offenses.
