    Overview

    More powerful than a traditional iron, the PerfectCare Expert Plus raises the bar when it comes to caring after your clothing. Supplying up to 120 grams of continuous steam per minute, the PerfectCare efficiently permeates fabrics to rapidly smooth out creases. For stubborn creases in tougher fabrics such as denim, the steam boost can emit up to 520 grams per minute of extra steam. Featuring silent steam technology to minimise steam noise, the PerfectCare won’t drown out ambient household sound. Designed for easy use, the iron is lightweight, gliding easily over your clothing and other fabric, for efficient ironing and reduced wrist strain. The PerfectCare can even be used vertically, steaming curtains and hanging garments with ease. And with a large 1.8 litre detachable water tank, you can use the PerfectCare Elite for up to two hours of continuous use.
    Optimal Temp Technology

    Guaranteed to never cause burns to any ironable fabric, OptimalTemp technology allows you to iron your fabrics without having to adjust the temperature or other settings. Able to iron any fabric from denim and silk, to cashmere, OptimalTemp helps make your ironing easier than ever.

    SteamGlide Advanced Soleplate

    The ultimate in gliding prowess and durability, this scratch-resistant soleplate is twice as hard as a regular aluminium base, and with its advanced titanium layer, glides effortlessly for fast results.

    Eco Mode

    Designed for delicate fabrics such as silk, the Eco Mode will generate less steam and energy to smooth out wrinkles and creases in your garments.

    Automatic shut-off

    The iron will automatically switch itself off if it is left unattended for a few minutes. This saves energy and gives you added peace of mind.

    Philips perfect care expert iron!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have started using the iron and realised it has helped to speed up my ironing process! The pros of this iron: Light weight iron compared to the usual iron with a water tank Easy to iron on all materials A big water tank at 1.8L to ensure no constant refill needed Very powerful steam that removed the creases very easily Steam can be triggered on demand Easy way to remove calc accumulate due to prolong ironing However there are a few Cons of this iron: The based is a little bulky thus its harder to be placed steadily on the ironing board The pipe/wire connecting the base and the iron, after ironing for some times, it wil emit heat and might be abit dangerous for young kids going near it. Will continue to use it and find out the best the iron could do!

    A bit bulky but worth the storage space!
    I was recently gifted this product by Philips as a collaboration online. Upon first inspection I found the product to be very bulky and weighed a bit more than a normal iron. However, once I used it I understood the need for the size and weight. I typically do not iron. I hate the chore- I would much rather wear slightly creased clothing than go to the effort of ironing. This steam generator iron however allows me to use the steam function directly on my clothes without needing to get my ironing board out. It also easily gets rid of small creases by doing this. The iron is very quiet, until it’s heating the water up to turn into steam. This only takes a couple of seconds. Overall I am very happy with this product. One suggestion I would make is to possibly include a handle. you are able to lock the iron in place- which works as a handle, to me this is very trusting that the lock doesn’t fail. I would feel more comfortable if there was a designated handle. Otherwise I love it (so does my partner

    Water leaking
    Product still under warranty and repaired took more than month but still watering leaking. Not at all a good value based on its price.
