Irons

Advantages: Vertical Steam, Special Tip & Good Design
Disadvantages: Price

The Philips GC 4340 is a precise steam iron which has a special tip so ironing is made easier for those hard to reach places on some garments. I have used the iron a few times and can say that its quite easy to use compared to the iron we had before this one. I'm comparing it on the basis that the iron we had before had a load of different setting for ironing which I found very confusing. The GC 4340 is a solid iron, black and grey in colour. Not ...

Advantages: Ionic steam
Disadvantages: Storage of flex

Another extremely useful feature is the separate storage plate so that it can be put away while still hot - no waiting for it to cool first. My only criticism ... Read review

...this iron as I believe Bosch are a good quality make. The sensixx comfort secure looks and feels of good build as you would hope to expect. At 2400 watts, it heats up quickly.
