Philips GC2045/40 EasySpeed Steam Iron, 270 ml, 2300 Watt, Pink/ Green

I spent a considerable amount of time (very boring) reviewing irons before choosing this one. I even went to another website as there weren't many reviews for this particular model. I wanted a more powerful iron than I had previously and the main feature was that I didn't want an iron that dripped water on my clothes! This arrived within two days of ordering and was put to use immediately. Whilst it doesn't make the task enjoyable it does make it easier. The ceramic plate glides over clothes effortlessly and gets rid of the most stubborn creases. The only drawback is that the water reservoir is small and it does need refilling, but to be honest I am not bothered as the quality of the iron far outweighs this. Using The guidelines it doesn't drip any water and I would most definitely recommend it!

Good iron, like the easy glade plate. Fairly priced too, even brought one for my mum.

According to the wife the iron is fine but nothing too special:Pros:- Very Light- Glides well- Nice colours and design- Well designed plate, good for ironing blouses and shirtsCons:- Power chord too short- Small water tank (needs refilling very often when using steam)- Steam doesn't seem to work on Max setting (turbo steam)All in all we like the iron and would recommend to people that only iron occasionally and small quantities.

Love the colour but most of all love this little iron. It's so light. Irons clothes really well. Uses a lot of water but steams well so makes up for having to refill it more often than most other irons.

Noticed for some time that the metal parts of the plug were getting really hot. Finally got it checked out and the neutral wire had nothing holding it into the plug.Had it for two years so not sure if it was dangerous. No sign of screw inside plug so I can only assume it was never fitted

Purchased this iron at the end of April 2015 and mid December 2015 I had to throw it away due to the fact that it kept tripping the electrics. Even though I loved the iron, I would never purchase one of these again. Lasting just 8 months is very poor.

This is a great iron, and I say that as someone who gets through lots of irons! The one it replaced was a cheap supermarket one which made very little impression on anything. The ceramic plate is not as instantly smooth as a metal plate, but it glides easily with little downward pressure- I had become used to having to press really hard to get creases out with my previous iron, whereas this one achieves great results with comparatively light pressure. Steam is very effective- one fill ironed 4 full sets of bedding. Some reviewers have commented on flex length, but I didn't find it particularly short- depends how far away you are from the socket!

Liked because its lightweight (why oh why don't manufacturers ensure their irons are more lightweight today than ever). Not everyone wants to push along an iron that is heavy. I looked for an iron that was lightweight and yet continuous steam and a good review. The only drawback with this iron is that I feel it needs to be more powerful in its steam.
