PerfectCare 7000 SeriesSteam Generator

I bought this second hand and by far it is the best steam iron I have ever owned it breezes through ironing jobs like a professional garment steamer would most clothing items I only had to do one side it is that effective at its job. The automatic steam function is fantastic and I did three full baskets of ironing on one water tank and most were heavy work wear.

I choose it because it makes my ironing easier to do

Easy to use, light weight iron but efficient on any fabric. Shuts off if left too long without moving. A good safety feature

This has to be one of the best steam irons out there

This is my second Philips iron and i love it I still have my old one that I keep and I have to say is very solid and heavier. My new one is lighter but still does an amazing job, the downside is it is very creaky when I am ironing and it’s a bit annoying. Apart from that, yes I recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not sure I can fault this product! I received the Philips PerfectCare 7000 iron a few weeks ago and have been waiting to test it out properly before reviewing it. This iron is overall really great. It heats up quickly and also has a safety lock on it which is great if you have children around you. The iron never gets too hot and reduces the likelihood of burning through fabric as it uses OptimalTEMP technology. It’s great for delicate fabrics and also thick fabrics like denim, the steam really helps for creases in those cases. I have also used the steam setting to remove creases on my curtains and for vertical ironing, the cord is really long and the iron is lightweight which really eases this kind of ironing. The water tank is also quite big, which means you don’t have to go back and forth a dozen of times to refill it whilst ironing and steaming fabrics. The iron could get a bit heavy if you are transporting it around with a full tank, however I believe that would be expected, and I don’t transport my iron to different places everyday, it is a home iron. Overall, I am very pleased with this product, I can use it pretty much “care free” as I know it won’t burn any of my fabrics no matter how I’m using it, it shuts off after a while if unattended and has a safety carry lock. I am very impressed and would definitely recommend this iron!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Perfectcare7000 is a joy to use, coming from a 'normal' steam iron to this beast was like chalk & cheese, so much easier to use & leaving your ironing with a professional finish. Straight out of the box the instruction manual was clear & easy to understand making the Philips Perfectcare7000 a breeze to set up. The steam it generates is truly amazing & due to the iron be so light & ergonomic it 'almost' makes ironing a joy. Don't hesitate to purchase one of these if your thinking about buying - you wont regret it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who gets through alot of ironing I have loved having my new iron! It has made the job so much easier. I really like the fact you don't have to keep stopping to faff around with different temperatures (the iron automatically changes temps for different fabrics). It also has a completely detachable water tank which is easy for filling and emptying. I found the iron was light and really comfortable to use (made ironing all the back to school uniforms a breeze).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Philips traditional iron for years (really pleased with it) and when I saw the first steam generator I was really curious about it. I have to admit I’m impressed with it. It arrived well packed. Whole unit looks sleek and design is to my liking. The iron and steam tank are well made and seem durable. It’s really easy to use. You just fill in detachable water tank with a tap water (really generous size of 1,8l), press the power button and wait max 2 minutes, no need to adjust the temperature which is the bonus (I find it annoying to change it constantly with regular irons). I was able to iron more delicate clothes without worrying about the temperature change. The iron is attached to the steam tank by a thick hose and is surprisingly light compared to my previous iron. I find locking mechanism really useful, especially when you have children running around. The iron does not move when on the base and that it switches off when not in use. According to manufacturer it won’t burn the clothes even when left on, but understandably I have not tested this feature  The steam pressure is powerful which makes ironing much easier. The steam penetrates all layers, so in most cases you don’t even need to turn the fabric on the other side to make it perfectly smooth. I was well impressed when ironing my bedding and curtains – top notch. The huge advantage is the fact that I can now iron my clothes much quicker and it saves me a lot of time which is priceless for busy mums! Another bonus feature is Easy De-Calc system, which is great as I live in a hard water area. Although one thing to remember – make sure the valve is fully closed up as the water might leak during ironing. Even though my children are already in school age, I believe that it is an ideal solution for disinfecting babies’ clothes as well. All in all, this is a great value iron, which offers superior performance to others I've used.
