Amazon Prime Day has kicked off with a significant discount on the Philips PerfectCare Steam Generator Iron, now priced at £99.99, half its original £199.99. The deal, available from June 23, offers a saving of £100 on a device that promises professional ironing results.
Features and Benefits
The iron uses continuous steam and a 400g steam boost to smooth creases and tackle thick fabrics. Its OptimalTEMP technology adjusts heat automatically, preventing burns on any fabric from silk to denim. The 1.5-litre water tank reduces the need for frequent refills.
One user commented: "The best iron I’ve ever owned and used. Speeds through everything without having to adjust temperature settings, as it doesn’t have them! Ironing now takes half the time it did and clothes look twice as good."
Customer Reviews
Another buyer noted: "Had this for two years and it has NEVER burned anything. Irons literally anything I throw at it, it's perfect without any settings or dials." However, some users found it heavy for daily use.
A detailed review stated: "This steam station has changed my perception of ironing from a chore to something I enjoy. It speeds up ironing; I now whizz through the bedding, with duvet covers looking magazine-worthy."
Alternatives
For those seeking cheaper options, the Russell Hobbs Series 1 Steam Generator Iron is available at Argos for £69.99, offering 90g of steam and a 1.3-litre tank. The Tefal Ultraglide Steam Iron is on Amazon for £31.49, down from £59.99, but lacks a separate base.
The Philips iron is an Amazon best-seller with over 4,000 reviews and more than 400 units sold in the past month. It is recommended for families with large amounts of ironing, though buyers should ensure their ironing board is wide enough to accommodate the base.
