The box says 'lightweight' but this iron is definitely the heaviest I've ever used, so am not sure what criteria Philips applied when deciding that the description was justified. Also, it irons ok but does not smooth away those stubborn creases in...

Hi CMR101639571,It sounds as though you have a faulty model. I would recommend returning it to the retailer you bought it from and explaining the problem. The retailer should offer to either repair or replace your iron and might even offer a refund....

Fantastic steam production and the ability to get the iron really hot means that it can smooth out stubborn creases. Weight is not necessarily a disadvantage but if you find it tiring, try lowering your ironing board a little.
