A seriously good iron

I love my Philips steam generator iron, I've had it about 2 years now and would never go back to a 'normal' iron.
Mine doesn't seem to still be for sale on Amazon, but theres a few others here

i have the phillips steam generator 8300 and its fantastic i have never bought cheap irons i have always bought the top end in normal irons but like you said i wanted something that gets the really stubborn creases out, and the phillips steam generator does just that im unsure of the price now but i purchased it last december in comet for about £230, alot of people thought i was mad paying that price for a Iron, i think its the best £230 pound i have ever spent.

Thanks for the replies. I see you both have Phillips irons, I will have a look at what they make.

Its good to hear you are getting on with the steam generator. I recently realised it was taking me up to 15-20 mins to iron a shirt that was really creased, and even then it still looked pretty rubbish! If one of these steam generator irons is that good, it should save me a fair amount of time over a year!

I too have a philips steam gen 8500 series went into philips on line and bought a reconditioned one at half the shop price came in original box immaculate condition. Hope it helps.

Nothing on the website in the refurb or outlet bit at the moment, but I haven't looked there before so I will keep an eye on it...thanks

I paid £20 for mine from BzzAgent, I win!

Wa? 20 quid? How did that happen haha

I have a Tefal steam generator which is pretty good, although I think none of them, and I've had a Phillips too, will take out creases in dried cotton shirts very easily. Can you not keep them a little damp until ironing? You need to look at the pressure that the steam is put under when you're comparing models.

it also pays to get a mesh ironing board to let the steam and condensation escape
