Review: I think I'm in love . . . - I thought long and hard about buying this expensive bit of kit for a one-person household, but the £40 price reduction in March 2016 convinced me to risk it, thank goodness. I read all the reviews, but from the moment it arrived, my misgivings began to disappear. It isn’t over-large, it isn’t over-heavy. I’m an 82 year old woman with a heart condition, but I don’t have problems lifting it, and it fits beautifully on the upper shelf of a sort of half-width unit in my kitchen, (25cm wide, 32 cm high, 50 cm deep). It seems like sense to store it near the source of water, and I wouldn’t keep it high up. To those reviewers who say they don’t think their elderly mother could cope with it, think again – she might love it. I also don’t at present feel the need for a new, expensive ironing board. The steam generator sits comfortably on the counter by the sink. My ironing board, bought because there is nowhere in my house to store a full-length board, folds over at both ends for storage and might also be described as a bit rickety; but it copes perfectly well with the Philips. It gets pretty damp by the end of an ironing session, but I leave it by a radiator for an hour or two before putting it away, and it dries out. I might buy an additional felt cover. But the ironing experience! Like most reviewers, I’m not fond of ironing, and recent health problems had led to me reducing my ironing to a minimum. I started on a basket full of bone-dry domestic items such as table napkins and drying-up cloths. I had no trouble setting up the iron and using it. Creases disappeared at one sweep of the iron, and in no time the basket was empty. Then I went on to a heap of collared cotton jersey tops. Fairly soon I found that doubled cloth sections, such as the collars, really didn’t need to be ironed on both sides – they looked just as good after being pressed on the top side only. The end result was a pile of laundry ironed in half the usual time, and looking very much better than it used to when I was using my old steam iron. To summarise the benefits of this marvellous contraption: 1. Time taken halved, because of absence of faff. 2. The sheer joy of absence of faff. 3. Excellent quality of ironing. By absence of faff, I mean everything that Philips and desertcart reviewers describe about the iron: only having to wait for it to heat up once, for two minutes; not having to refill the tank: not having to sort items at all, or think about temperatures; being able to put the iron down anywhere on the board (or the laundry) without risk of scorching; one sweep of the iron over the surface being enough, no ironing up and down or increasing the pressure by using one’s physical force. I was so pleased that next day I went through my wardrobe and picked out all the remaining badly-ironed items, and re-did them with the new iron – the first time in a long life that I have ever ironed for the fun of it. I must be in love. June 2019. I'm 85 now, but still in love. To call an iron life-changing would be a bit OTT, but this one certainly makes a tiring chore much easier, and I continue to iron with a certain zest. Buy it for your mum or your granny, she'll love it. Buy it for your wife - she'll love you.
Review: You won't be disappointed - I have wanted to invest in a steam generator for many years.i was unsure of which brand to purchase, and after reading the reviews on this one I took a chance. I am so glad I did, easy to use, went through all my ironing without having to alter the temperature ( you cannot with this as no setting to do so) you can iron silk and cotton without the risk of scorching. Its a brilliant product, did my ironing in half the time

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it need an antiscale cartridge?**
A: Hello. No it doesn’t. It’s so simple to descale. Every so often it will beep to tell you it needs descaling. You unscrew a cap and empty the water into a container and it’s good to go. One tip I can recommend is to fill it with deironised water only. We never get any brown water spitting out anymore and the water when descaling is completely clear. It’s a brilliant machine if treated well.

**Q: can I use tap water as we have a water softener installed?**
A: This steam generator is designed for use with tap water and / or distilled water. I researched this myself and found that a mix of water and tap water is probably best for longevity.

**Q: Can you switch off the steam to use it for dry ironing?**
A: The steam cannot be switched off, assuming there is water in the boiler, but the steam will only come out when the steam button is depressed, so yes one can dry iron, the results are not as good as with steam of course though.

**Q: Is there a wall storage bracket available?**
A: This iron does not come with a wall bracket and I am not aware that such a product exitsts. I suggest you go to the Philips website and contact them with your query. Not sure why you would want a bracket as the hose is long enough for the base to be placed on the floor. My wife loves this iron!
