Azur Performer PlusSteam iron

I have always had Philips irons, however this has to be their best one yet. The iron gets really hot and the steam feature works better than ever. What used to take me 5 minutes to iron a piece of clothing, now only takes me 2 1/2. The weight of the iron also makes it easy to handle. My favourite part is the cleaning feature, scum build up doesn't go on your clothes it goes into a catchment holder within the iron. Philip's you guys make a fantastic iron!

This is the third Phillips iron i have bought. I must say it is really good. It has anti calcification cleaner two wsys. No other iron has these. The stean jets are fantastic. The weight of the iron is remarkably not to heavy, so elderly people could use this no problem at all. It has a saftey cut of switch, to this day i would never buy an Iron with out it. Overall fantastic iron,

This is the second steam iron purchased after the first one was returned for a refund after only about two months of operation as rust was coming out of the sole plate[it was a very well known brand]. So far this iron seems to do everything that the advertising says.

Great iron and features, plus irons everything without fail including jeans. Fast and efficient would recommend this iron and love the colour!

Brilliant purchase! Replacement for a 5-year-old RH that has had plenty of use. Very pleased.

Had a previous Azur until it failed a couple of weeks ago after 10+ years. Had no hesitation to get another Philips and an upgraded model.

I suspect I would never choose another make of iron, BUT why oh why have you not put a 2.5m cable on this model? If it's a money saving exercise I would rather pay extra. It does make a considerable difference. Please give it consideration in the future.

This iron is both great value and a top performer. Whilst it is not the cheapest in the current Philips range, it's well worth the little extra. In fact it's saved me loads of roning time, because it makes light work of everything. The sole plate is so smooth it simply glides effortlessley over clothing as well as harder to iron Egyptian cotton duvet covers. Any creases are simply smoothed away, even stubborn ones where loads of effort is usually required. The iron emits a jet of steam whenever needed without even having to press a button. And on the higher settings you can add an extra shot if needed, but it rarely is. Ergonomically the iron is easy to hold and it doesn't make my hand or arm ache, and it's also easy to fill and declac. It's a very stylish iron too. In summary this iron is worth the money and for me it's the best I've ever owned. Well done Philips!!

After my old Philips iron had worn out, I wanted to buy only Philips. Azur Performer plus glides very well, does a good job on linen, jeans etc. Very happy with product. However there are 2 negatives : 1. Short cord length 2. Location of steam booster button - under the handle. Not a good place to put a button.. I press it by accident many times, that just leads to more filling of water. Positive for me: Heats up quickly and powerful on linen and jeans.

This iron was to replace my philips 4521/87 under warranty. I was sent this iron the 4522/00 from philips, on 20/04/2016
