I tried a Philips steam generator and it showed me how outdated my old iron really is
The compact model has a 1.5-litre tank, 120g/min steam and a 400g boost, Philips says, helping households clear laundry piles faster.
The Philips Perfect Care Compact Steam Generator is designed to make large laundry piles easier to manage, combining a lightweight 1.2kg iron with a 2.95kg base unit.
Philips says the 1.5-litre tank provides around 90 minutes of continuous use, eliminating frequent trips to the sink to refill water during ironing sessions.
The unit delivers up to 120g/min of continuous steam and a 400g steam boost to tackle stubborn creases, while the SteamGlide soleplate moves smoothly across all fabric types.
OptimalTEMP technology removes the need to adjust temperature settings for different fabrics, while the Smart Calc Clean system alerts users when descaling is required to maintain performance.
Although the base unit requires more storage space than a standard iron, the Philips PerfectCare Compact offers enhanced steam power that represents a practical trade-off for busy households.
