Philips Steam Generator Iron PerfectCare 6000 Series - 2400W, 130g/min Continuous Steam, 1.8L, OptimalTEMP Technology, Black/Gold - PSG6064/86

Bought this as a replacement for the previous generation top-end Philips Steam Generator. You would think the design and function would improve on the original but it does not. Pros: - good, reliable steam function - auto temperature setting makes scorching impossible - smooth glide and easy on fabrics Cons: - steam sound is very loud, whistles aggressively, scares / wakes up children - no automatic steam function (old model had) - now iron lies flat on tank, not ergonomic like old model - turning on / off - no audio beep - power buttons hard to see / reach / view. wrong placement - very plasticy feel, especially water tank when compared to previous models - clearly cheaper, lighter grade materials - descaling program is volcanic and hot - please stand back!! Overall, a very good iron but let down by poor design choices and lack of auto-steam feature.
