Stylish and light weight, only concerns were short cable length, current one that packed up after just 4 years (disappointing!), had 2.5m length that was perfect for ironing longer garments. Second concern is the colour of the water container plastic (dark blue) that makes it difficult to establish the amount of water in the iron. Current one had a clearer plastic so one could witness amount when re-filling. Read more

The cord on this iron is so short, unless your socket is right next to your ironing board, the iron is unusable. You'll almost certainly have to run it off an extension lead, which something we're told not to do with appliances such as irons. The cord is only 190cm long, not even the 2m advertised. It's a full 1m shorter than my previous Philips iron. Disgraceful penny-pinching on the part of Philips on an expensive product. Read more
