READ MORE
Featuring Philips' premium SteamGlide coated ceramic soleplate, the hand iron weighs just 1.2kg which makes it ideal for extended ironing sessions.
Not that they will last that long, with up to 420g/min steam output and a large 1.5 litre water tank you'll complete the ironing chores in no time.
If you don't need quite so much power, the Eco mode is very effective at crease-busting on everyday fabrics but using a lot less energy.

Continuous steam output in grams per minute. Higher output = quicker ironing
Shot400g/min
A short, powerful burst of steam to penetrate deep into creased or thick fabric
Weight1.2 kg
Weight of the hand iron without water. Heavier irons can be more stressful on your wrist over long ironing sessions, but generally have better crease-crushing performance
SoleplateCeramic
A ceramic soleplate will give the smoothest gliding and best scratch resistance. More expensive models might also have a special coating for even better performance
Water Tank1500 ml
Higher water capacities will mean faster ironing with less time to stop and fill up, but can also increase the weight of hand irons
Cord Length1.6 metres
A longer power cord gives greater flexibility, particularly when ironing large items. (For steam generators this figure is the steam cord length from the hand iron to base unit)
Auto-OffYES
A safety feature that turns the iron off after a period of inactivity
Auto ControlsYES
Instead of the usual heat and steam selector dials, the iron will control steam and heat automatically based on fabric type. Some irons even have both traditional manual controls and an automatic mode so you get the best of both worlds
Warranty Period2 years
Standard warranty period from time of purchase (includes any extension manufacturers may give for registering with them)
