Review: Excellent iron - Heavy enough to aid the ironing process, but without being cumbersome. - We bought this iron to replace the Philips GC3320 Steamglide iron that we'd had for 8 years. That iron had given us excellent service and the only reason we needed to replace it was as a result of my other half carelessly trying to shorten some trousers with wonderweb and getting the adhesive all over the sole plate of the iron. So, we were already impressed with the design and durability of Philips irons and had no hesitation replacing it with something similar. Overall this iron is very similar to the one we had previously: Size dimensions are almost identical; It is fractionally lighter, but you don't really feel that - and this model actually feels better balanced. It is heavy enough to aid the effectiveness of the ironing process, but without being cumbersome. There have been other tinkerings with the design, but these have just helped to make it an improvement on our previous model. The sole plate has the same smooth gliding feel, but the front end has be reshaped and now makes it even better at getting into awkward areas between buttons and into the top of pockets. The lid of the water reservoir has also been redesigned and is now more robust and gives a wider aperture to pour water into. So, all in all, the unfortunate mishap with the wonderweb has actually done us a favour. After 8 years service the previous iron owed us nothing, but we now have one that is even better and that will hopefully last us just as long. Review: Best steam iron I have had. - Excellent steam iron. Medium to light weight, plenty of steam holes and power. Has a water spray which covers a generous surface and a shot of steam. Easy to use for vertical steaming. Extra long smooth fabric covered cord which doesn’t knot, twist or pull fabric being ironed. Comes in its box alone so all can see (!) with courier labels all over it. Pity, would be better in an desertcart box but that has nothing to do with style & performance of the iron. Large area for filling from a small jug (no filling beaker supplied) and reservoir easy to see water level. Cord wraps well around heel of iron. Great product. ## Features - Faster crease removal: with 2300W and up to 40g/min of continuously powerful steam - Easy fill: 320ml water tank with extra-large filling hole - Long lasting steam performance: built-in cleaning function to prevent & remove limescale - Superior gliding performance and 4x longer life with anti-scratch SteamGlide soleplate - Easier ironing: Long 2.5m power cord and drip stop system ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06X9T5BSB | | Auto Shutoff | No | | Brand | Philips | | Capacity | 0.32 Kilograms | | Colour | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,623) | | Date First Available | 1 April 2017 | | Energy Efficiency Class | A | | Item Weight | 1.26 kg | | Material | Ceramic | | Model Number | GC2990/26 | | Product Dimensions | 12.7 x 31.2 x 14.7 cm; 1.26 kg | | Runtime | 0 minute | | Special Features | Anti-Calc Function, Anti-limescale function, Auto Shutoff, Auto power off, Can also be used with tap water, Extra large filling opening, Vertical Steaming | | Volume Capacity | 0.32 Litres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Philips - **Colour:** Blue - **Recommended uses for product:** General use, heavy materials, delicate fabrics - **Wattage:** 2300 watts ## Images ![PowerLife GC2990/26 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ODrkSaEcL.jpg) ![PowerLife GC2990/26 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41TcHCAVxcL.jpg) ![PowerLife GC2990/26 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41r5gwzKE3L.jpg) ![PowerLife GC2990/26 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51A-1WtXxXL.jpg) ![PowerLife GC2990/26 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LZ4yVlVHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the Weight if this iron?** A: Hi there, thanks for your question.

This is slightly heavier than my last but still better than the Turbo steam iron I used to use.
