    Overview

    Built to deliver powerful and efficient ironing results with each use, the Philips PowerLife Steam Iron is an affordable and reliable model for all your crease-removal needs. With a consistent steam output of up to 45 grams per minute powered by a 2400 watt element, the PowerLife will smooth out pesky wrinkles in your fabrics. Melt away the most stubborn creases with the steam boost, delivering up to 180 grams of steam permeating deeper into your fabric.

    With a built-in calc-clean slider, this iron benefits from a built-in cleaning function to remove limescale and ensure it can continue to function at its best. The safety auto-off feature will turn off the iron after eight minutes of inactivity if left on the heelrest or thirty seconds if on the soleplate.
    SteamGlide Plus Soleplate

    With the advanced titanium layer and six-layer coating, the SteamGlide Plus soleplate glides easily over any fabric. The soleplate itself has been constructed to be scratch-resistant, non-stick, and easy to clean.

    Vertical Steam

    The iron can be used in a vertical position to steam creases and wrinkles out of curtains or hanging garments with the same efficiency and effectiveness as with horizontal ironing.

    Drip-Stop System

    With the Drip-Stop System, you can operate your iron at lower temperatures without water drops causing stains or marks.

    Automatic shut-off when iron is left unattended

    The iron shuts itself off if you leave it standing still. On its heel rest, it will automatically switch off in 8 minutes. Lying flat, it shuts down after 30 seconds motionless.
