    Overview

    More powerful than a traditional iron, the PerfectCare Elite Plus raises the bar when it comes to caring after your clothing. Supplying up to 150 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 500 grams of extra steam.

    Featuring silencing filters to minimise steam noise, coupled with a sound-absorbing platform to reduce vibration, 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.

    DynamiQ Technology

    DynamiQ Technology features an advanced motion sensor to know how and when your iron is moving, releasing precise volumes of steam when needed, for faster ironing. The steam will automatically start when the iron is moving and will stop when the iron does.

    T-ionicGlide Soleplate

    The T-ionicGlide Soleplate features a stainless steel base and patented 6-layer coating with advanced titanium layer for ultimate gliding performance and rapid ironing 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.

    Everything I wanted from a steam iron
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This steam generator iron was a big step up for me. This iron has everything that I was looking for all in one iron -- a lighter iron, but with a separate water container to lighten up the iron itself along with an even distribution of steam via the many steam holes and a narrower ironing tip that allows getting into smaller areas and more precision. I use this iron for everything a linens, crafts, clothes, etc. it cuts down ironing time dramatically. The water tank is really big, and despite the amount of steam, it seems to use little water. The tank can be filled with water at any time and water is quickly at temperature for ironing.

    I fall in love
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I am so happy with this iron. The iron selects the temperature itself and I do not have to worry about it. I use it to iron a variety of clothing and haven’t burnt one item so far! It has an ambient blue light on it that flashes while the iron is heating up and is stable once the iron is ready for use. It is compact and the wires are easily stored in a compartment within the iron. It holds a good amount of water meaning you can iron without having to constantly refill the water compartment. The easy fill compartment allows you to refill the iron with ease and you do not have to wait to refill it, it can be refilled at any time. There is a lock on the iron which allows you to fix the iron to the water compartment once you have finished with it. This also allows you to safely carry the iron. There is a calk clean reminder feature on the iron which is great and the iron comes with a calk container that allows you to use the calk function effectively and safely. Overall this iron has made ironing quicker and simpler for me. I haven't had to do my ironing in any order of material type and my clothing has been crease free.

    Great iron with a modern design
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this steam generator. My long ironing sessions have now halved. I no longer spend ages ironing. Water tank only needs 1 fill which will last a long time. There is a continuous flow of high steam which is great. Ironing is now fun, i have tried this steam generator on many fabrics including denim and thick curtains, it works wonders on all fabrics, all creases removed instantly. Overall this has been the best steam generator I've used.

    Good Evening, Thank you for this product question, the Philips machine is a quit item no longer available, I purchased myself about three years ago a Tefal Steam Generator machine that has never let me down have a look at this model below: Tefal GV9543 Pro Express Ultimate Steam Generator Iron These are made in France just a delight to use with a 1.9Ltrs water tank that produces a lot of steam used in a vertical or horizontal position and is easy to maintain. This is available in Perth for delivery which is free delivery. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
