Consumer review (johnlewis.com)
At first a little daunted by the size of the steam generator but once I used this I wouldn't replace with a normal iron. Ironing is so much easier!
Consumer review (johnlewis.com)
I bought the iron to replace a similar model which stopped working after 6 years, in an area with hard water. The new iron so far has been excellent. There is some noise when the water is heating but it is still much quieter than my previous iron. I do...

Philips PerfectCare Elite Silence 290 Gram Steam Station GC9642/60 This thing is amazing. I've never had a steam generator iron before, but this one makes ironing extremely easy. I used to hate ironing before I got this thing. Got it at David Jones on...
