Product details

The powerful steam burst penetrates deeper into the fabric to remove even the most stubborn creases. In addition, the iron is equipped with Philips' exclusive SteamGlide Elite soleplate for ultimate glide and maximum scratch resistance. The Quick Calc Release allows for easy cleaning of your iron and long-lasting steam performance. Our Drip Stop System also prevents spills and therefore stains from water droplets: so you can iron worry-free at any temperature. With the large 300 ml water reservoir, you'll need to refill less often, so you can iron more clothes in one go, and thanks to the 2400 watts, you're assured of fast heat-up and powerful performance, so you can get your ironing done in no time. The powerful and constant steam output passes up to 50% more steam through the fabric to remove wrinkles faster. Thanks to the vertical steam function, you can refresh clothes directly on the hanger and remove wrinkles from hanging curtains. No ironing board required.

When it comes to ironing, opinions differ. For many, it is simply annoying, for others it is an almost meditative activity that leads to a visibly beautiful result. If you are one of those people who don't like ironing, you may just have the wrong appliance. Our test of steam irons and steam ironing stations shows: The differences are huge, with models ranging from good to poor...

In the test, the Steam Iron from Philips was able to beat the other candidates thanks to its impeccable handling. Rowenta weakened slightly at the maximum temperature, but this was hardly noticeable in practice, and remains the overall price-performance tip thanks to its good handling performance.

This test report belongs to a different type: DST7040/80 (3000 W, 250 g/min)
