Iron everything from jeans to silk with no temperature setting required

Now you can iron everything from jeans to silk with no temperature setting required. Guaranteed no burn on all ironable fabrics. Revolutionary technology with both the Advanced Smart Control Processor, which precisely controls the soleplate temperature so that you don't need to, and the powerful cyclonic steam chamber, which delivers consistent, powerful steam, making ironing easier and faster.

Saving energy with ECO mode

By using ECO mode and a reduced amount of steam, you can save energy without compromising on the ironing results.

New SteamGlide soleplate is Philips premium soleplate

The new SteamGlide soleplate is the best Philips soleplate. Is extremely scratch resistant, glides excellently and is easy to clean.

Tap water-friendly, refill any time during ironing

Your steam generator iron is designed to use tap water. While ironing, when the water tank runs out of water, you can easily refill it without having to wait or turn off your appliance.

Lock your iron securely to the base station

Your steam generator iron comes with a safety carry lock. You can lock your iron safely on the base, making it safer and reducing the risk of people touching the hot soleplate. You can also carry the steam generator easily.

Safe to leave the hot soleplate on the ironing board

The innovative Philips OptimalTEMP technology guarantees no burns on all ironable fabrics. During ironing, there is no need to put your iron back on the base station; just leave the hot iron soleplate directly on the garments or cotton ironing board cover without an additional resting accessory. It will not damage any of your ironable garments, or the board. This makes your ironing easier, with less wrist effort.

Automatically turned off for peace of mind and energy saving

The auto-off function automatically switches off the appliance if it has not been used for a few minutes, also saving energy.

Ready to use in 2 minutes with unlimited refill

Steam is ready to use in 2 minutes and can be refilled at any time during ironing.

Large 2.5 l fully visible water tank

The extra-large 2.5 L water tank ensures up to 3 hours ironing without any refilling. It makes your ironing faster and easier. Thanks to the clear water tank, you can see the water level from any angle and make sure you still have enough water to steam efficiently.
