Go from ironing jeans to silk; no need to change temperature setting

Go from ironing jeans to silk; no need to change temperature setting

With OptimalTEMP technology you'll no longer have to waste time changing temperature settings, waiting for the temperature to adjust or pre-sorting clothes. Iron all fabrics, from jeans to silk, with no burning guaranteed thanks to the perfect combination of temperature and continuous powerful steam.

Safe to leave the hot soleplate on the ironing board

Safe to leave the hot soleplate on the ironing board

Innovative OptimalTEMP technology guarantees no burning on any ironable fabric. As well as the reassurance this provides whilst ironing, it also means you can leave the hot iron soleplate directly on your cotton ironing board without causing any damage. This helps to reduce any discomfort to your wrists, as you won't need to lift the iron to and from its base as often.

Lightweight steam generator for easier handling

Lightweight steam generator for easier handling

Thanks to revolutionary ProVelocity technology, we've been able to make a powerful steam generator iron that is much lighter than traditional models. This means it's more stable when positioned on your ironing board and carrying it around is much easier.

SoftGrip comfortable handle with ergonomic shape

SoftGrip comfortable handle with ergonomic shape

The ergonomically shaped SoftGrip handle ensures that using your steam generator is much more comfortable. The top of the handle is finished with a super-soft material with a unique pattern that enhances the gripping experience. These features make holding your iron far more pleasant for the duration of your ironing session.

Integrated easy-clean system for long-lasting performance

Integrated easy-clean system for long-lasting performance

Regular descaling protects your iron and maintains steam performance. The Smart Calc-Clean system is an integrated descaling and cleaning function to extend the lifespan of your steam generator iron. The iron will remind you with both light and sound that cleaning and descaling is needed. Simply place your iron onto the Smart Calc-Clean container and start the process. It takes approx. 2 minutes for the dirty water and scale to be collected; your steam generator will beep once it's finished and ready to use again.

Philips' best gliding with increased scratch resistance

Philips' best gliding with increased scratch resistance

The SteamGlide Plus soleplate is durable and non-stick because of the ceramic finishing. It has an integrated titanium oxide layer for superior gliding performance.

Automatic switch-off for safety and energy saving

Automatic switch-off for safety and energy saving

The safety auto-off function automatically switches off your steam generator iron if it has not been used for a few minutes. This saves energy and gives you peace of mind about safety.

Save energy with ECO mode

Save energy with ECO mode

ECO mode allows you to save energy without compromising your ironing results. The ECO mode uses a reduced amount of steam, but still a sufficient amount to iron all your garments.

Safe and secure carry lock

Safe and secure carry lock

Your steam generator iron includes a safe carry lock, which securely fastens your iron to its base without the risk of it slipping or someone touching the hot soleplate. It ensures safe and easy transportation around the house, to and from storage.

Enjoy powerful ironing with minimum noise

Enjoy powerful ironing with minimum noise

Powerful steam doesn't have to mean noisy ironing. Enjoy ironing with family around, whilst watching TV or when listening to music, without being disturbed by the noise. The steam generator iron is fitted with a sound-absorbing platform to reduce the vibration noise in the base.
