Just bought the Iron GC9682 and came with an ironing board (GC240/25). First time iron, keep hitting a "bump". After ironing 2 shirts, the ironing cloth has a small hole. Checked under the ironing cloth, found a lump of weld material that is causing the iron to hit when ironing. Surprised with such a manufacturing and quality control lapse with Philips.

I bought this ironing board to go with my steam station (also a Philips) and the cover does not even fit on properly. I now have to resort to fitting the end (where I put the shirts on) properly and using masking tape to hold the other side as per photo. I am so disappointed with this product at this price range and the cover does not even fit. I've emailed Philips before too and have not even recieved any response so I'm going to leave this review on her so other users stay away from this ill-fitting ironing board.

This is a very strong, sturdy and quality built ironing board. The only downfall for me is that the wings keep falling down on me and are always getting in the way.
