Philips SpeedCare Steam generator iron GC6625/30 Max 4.3 bar pump pressure 160 g steam boost Carry lock 1.2 l fixed water tank is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 58.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product which is much quicker than a conventional iron This is a really great iron that makes something I dislike a great deal, a lot, lot easier. It takes a little longer than a normal iron to warm up, but as soon as it has the steam means you rush through the ironing much, much quicker. The iron is not heavy (although it does look it!) and the water reservoir is large so it doesn't need filling up very often at all. I wouldn't go back to a conventional iron after using this. The only (small) negative is that it doesn't sit well on my ironing board, I am going to buy a bigger board that is made for a steam generator, these are a little more expensive but I think it will be worth it. Recommended product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sleek and easy to use features Wow , after having steam generators for several years it was a pleasure to use this Model , the main attraction was the lightweight , sleek design not effecting the performance , the great gliding action steamed through my ironing with ease , wonderful for all fabrics , the vertical steam was good too , the easy fill tank holds enough water to iron for a good time too without refilling . The Calc Clean was easy to use too a plus if you live in an area with Hard Water . Another plus was the carry lock easy transportation . A great buy for busy families with a hefty ironing pile , cuts down the ironing time no end .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than any Iron I have ever owned For someone who hates Ironing, this Iron has made it so much more bearable. This steam Iron was quick to heat up, so can start using straight away.My worst items are shirts and t shirts, but this Iron whipped through them in half the time, taking out any stubborn crease, with just the right amount of steam.The Iron looks heavy and bulky, buts looks are deceiving. It is very light but heavy enough to still be comfortable to hold. The only downfall is I felt the water tank was a little too big as I feel you will never fill it to its maximum, so waste of space. Can't wait for my next ironing experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Surprisingly delighted. The steam generator really does deliver on its promises! Quite simply, this iron is incredible. For years i have stuck by my traditional iron, not really believing that anything could make a difference to what most people would see as a chore. That was until i started to use the Philips SpeedCare steam generator. The amount of steam produced is amazing, it makes little work of deep stubborn creases and importantly the steam can be directed just where it needs to be. With the water being held in its separate tank, the iron feels so light, agile and easy to use. Whilst still a chore, my ironing experience has been transformed though, for the better!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely easy to use Having 4 children and a husband who apparently gets dirty for a living, I seem to have a never ending pile of ironing! This iron may have just saved my sanity. The time I spend being steamed over an ironing board has been cut dramatically and my loathing of this chore has declined to a dull dislike. It's lightweight, even when the water tank is completely full and it was a breeze to set up and understand with simple and clear instructions. Another plus point is the cal clean system, because to be honest who has time to remember to descale their iron?! All in all a definite winner with me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ironing has become a pleasure! Wow, what a super iron. Not only is it lightweight and compact but it reaches temperature so quickly. I love the ease of glide and well positioned steam button. The flexible cord and grip handle make it comfortable to use too. Great locking feature for transporting and the cables tidy away neatly within the water tank - no more dangling wires in the airing cupboard! Filling the tank is easy and the steam is superb. Since receiving this iron I have actually looked forward to tackling the iron pile - and that is a first! I fully recommend this iron, I love it :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This iron saves me hours standing for hours ironing At first I was dubious having never owned a steam generator iron but let me tell you this has saved me so much time, having the large tank enables me to fill up before starting my normal massive pile of ironing and at the end there is still water left rather than me making numerous trips to the kitchen to fill a normal iron. Also the actual iron itself is so light compared to normal irons. With a family of 4 I was spending upto 4 hours a week ironing now it's more like 1 hour 30 mins no going back for me highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Would definately recommend I could not believe hoe light this iron is but it does not effect it's performance at all, even wen locked on to base when put away it is still incredibly light. I found the cleaning routine extremely easy to follow and as it has an automatic shut down device if after an hour of first alerting you to clean it, there is no chance of forgetting which means it's performance will stay as good for longer, not only is the iron very good, storage is ideal, but it is a very nice looking iron.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Product This product turns a chore into a joy. On first glance the sturdy appearance of this appliance make you think it will be a heavy iron but it is surprisingly light to use and the steam production is so good it make easy work of the toughest material and the most wrinkled clothes.The extra length of cord makes those hard to reach area breeze I'm not exaggerating when I say it cut my ironing time in half. The design makes it a pleasure to look at and I know look forward to ironing night.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy ironer Ironing is my least favourite household chore so was very keen to try this product. It definitely does what it says on the tin! Ironing does take less time and it produces great results. It is very easy to use, the steam is great and gets into all the wee corners etc. on a shirt. It's easy to store and carry around because of the lock, filling is easy and its lightweight to use. I would definitely recommend this product and it does take most of the pain out of ironing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SpeedCare Steam generator iron, model code GC6625/30 I loved testing this product. It is lightweight and irons quickly and with ease. I think the calc clean is an excellent addition and will prolong the life of this product for years. I like the size of the water tank and have never had to fill more than once per ironing. The carry lock makes for ease of lifting and storing this item. I would and have already recommended this product to family and friends and cannot speak highly enough of this fantastic iron.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for curtains and heavy fabric This product looks professional and felt comfortable to use. I found it really effective for removing creases from brand new and freshly washed curtains. I also found it very useful for heavier fabrics like denim jeans etc, which became crease free in seconds. I freshened up all my work suits while on their hangers - leaving them 'dry-cleaner' fresh. It glided through a pile of duvet covers and bedding - a job I usually dread - with ease.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An hard job made easy This is probably the best iron I have used. My work uniform is made of terrible material but this iron makes the shirts so easy to iron. That water tank is large so you don't need to keep filling after every few items. It's powerful and lightweight to use. The is a storage place for the lead and the iron clips onto the base for easy carrying. Also it does not take much space for storage it is more compact than I thought it would be.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight and easy to use When I set up my new iron I was amazed at how easy it was to set up and how lightweight it was, I love the locking feature, making it easy to carry around. The iron itself just glides over the clothes and making it faster and effortless. the tank is easy to fill and steam gives a good amount, enough to make a difference but not too much to soak clothes. At the moment I can't find a fault with it, very happy with my new purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Speed Care Steam Generator In the time I have had the GC6625 Speed Care Steam Generator, I have used it on a daily basis. It is light, small, compact and I feel well balanced. It's a lot smaller than I expected a steam iron to be. I'm used to a large, heavy iron, but using the steam generator has changed my view on ironing and makes the task more enjoyable to do. I like the shape and look of this product and am well impressed.
