Not good! 09/10/2009

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Very efficient when new, I was very impressed for the first few months.
Disadvantages Poor quality product, not durable, and dreadful customer service from Philips staff

I have owned this steam generator for 18 months and have just put it out with the rubbish this week. Brilliant when new - better than any other iron I have owned. However, I would expect it to last for longer than 18 months, particularly as it wasn't cheap. 5 months ago, the water tank began to leak....drip drip drip, constantly. Phoned Phillips to buy a replacement and was quoted £40+....but, I asked "this product is barely out of guarantee, surely you can do something to help?". Nope, apparently not.

Advantages great
Disadvantages bit heavy - but that is what you are buying

I have to disagree with the person who was very negative about this 'iron', I can only say you simply do not iron! I have been ironing for 30 years and this is by far the best I have ever used and will continue to use, walks all over my previous normal steam irons, and it is going to be larger as it is a steam generator not an iron!! So please do not be put off by this persons neg obviously has never really done much ironing?? I have a family of 4 and has cut my ironing time in half i DONT EVEN HAVE TO IRON THE OTHER SIDE ON MOST THINGS i HAVE IRONED..Was also voted top in which magazine which ... more
