    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.
    Vertical steaming for hanging fabrics

    The vertical steam function lets you refresh garments right on the hanger and remove creases from curtains as they hang. No ironing board required.

    Scratch resistant SteamGlide soleplate provides good gliding

    Our special SteamGlide soleplate smoothly glides over any fabric. It's also non-stick, scratch-resistant and easy to clean.

    Built-in calc-clean slider, long-lasting steam performance

    This iron operates with ordinary tap water. Calc-clean is a built-in cleaning function to remove calcium buildup, or limescale, and maintain peak performance.

    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.

    No more creases!!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This iron didn't fail on any item of clothing that needed ironing. The iron has a constant steam boost, which helps removes stubborn creases from items like shirts! I don't do a massive amount of ironing, but every time I used it I wasn't disappointed. I have used the Philips Azur Iron and felt it performed similarly to that.

    Great iron, great price!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Phillips Power Life Steam Iron is fantastic. The design, although looking slightly bigger than irons I’ve had in the past is compact and light. The water refill section has a large easy to use clip ‘door’ meaning it can be filled with ease directly from the tap. It’s chunky handle offers great grip. The temperature is easily adjusted and it’s up in a good time. The continuous steam outlay results in the iron gliding across the clothes, removing creases with ease. This iron has certainly helped reduce the amount of time I spend ironing and is perfect. I’d highly recommend this product.

    Large coverage and easy glide
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to my old Philips iron, the Philips PowerLife Steam iron offers excellent and larger coverage as compared in the pictures below. The easy glide function is really practical and with Calc clean the iron doesn't get stuck on the clothes. The iron just glides through any type of clothes and it takes us less time to spend in ironing too. We would have loved an automatic setting where the iron sets the heat and steam according to the clothes type. The water opening above the iron is large and convenient to put water without spilling. The setting dial is large and the design is such that you can change settings without looking under the iron. I also love the colour combination and the design of the iron. Even though the iron is larger, it is not heavier. So that's practical.
