I never thought I’d love an iron, but here we are. This Philips Azur 8000 Series is an absolute powerhouse. It glides over my laundry like a figure skater at the Olympics, leaving behind perfectly smooth, wrinkle-free glory. Honestly, I’m half expecting a cape to come with it because it makes me feel like a superhero of housework!The steam boost is no joke—it’s like having a mini dragon helping you tackle stubborn creases. And the OptimalTEMP Technology? Life-changing. No more panic attacks over accidentally scorching my favorite shirt. It’s as if this iron reads my mind and adjusts itself like some kind of laundry wizard.Now ironing is less of a chore and more of a power move. Whether it’s shirts, sheets, or the occasional kid’s craft project, this iron takes everything in stride. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to feel like they’ve conquered Mount Laundry—one smooth shirt at a time! 🦸‍♀️✨

Fast delivery , good price and fantastic product ! looks cool and irons well , my wife is very happy . it indeed choses the temperature for different fabrics automatically and does it well:)

Really great iron and so easy to use. It is so nice not to have to keep changing the setting. The only negative about this iron is that you cannot wrap the cord around anything on the iron and it just hangs loose when put away.

The info booklet is not in English, so you have to use the images only. It's in EVERY other language. It takes longer then expected to warm up but it's great at ironing all materials. I went from cotton to wool to silk and there were no issues. It's larger then expected but that means you iron more material in one stop pass. The cable is a good length, unlike any previous iron. A good weight, so that helps remove creases. It currently costs £5 less than I paid a week before, and the price I paid was best on the Internet at that time. I do HIGHLY recommend it. Hopefully it'll last a long time, thanks to the long guarantee. I now don't dread ironing.

PLEASE READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BEFORE PURCHASING. Bought this last year to replace yet another failing 'steam-generator' model. It worked OK. By OK I mean it was average. It worked, I guess, as in it ironed stuff. It also spat out water (and limescale) regularly - EVEN AFTER DESCALING (using the built-in descaling feature). Then, after about 8 months, it just stopped working. It won't heat up. At all. Contacted Amazon who are sending it for repair. I doubt that this will help much, as I've seen too many comments where the failure was deemed to be 'mis-use' and therefore not covered under warranty - so we'll see how that goes..... In summary, it's barely fit for purpose - and it's not a budget buy either!!**UPDATE** The iron was repaired under warranty - however when it was returned, the box was badly damaged and the iron went POP and tripped our entire house electrics on FIRST USE AFTER REPAIR. AVOID.

This might seem expensive for an iron but trust me it knocks all irons out the window. It’s amazing how it changes temperatures for the different garments each time. Wish I’d have bought it ages ago ironing time cut down it fabulous

Game changer iron! Highly recommend! I don’t like ironing but with this demon the game is change 🤪

I've had this iron for two years. It performed OK, although the steam function wasn't brilliant. I've been diligent with maintenance but yesterday it gave up the ghost. At this price I expected it to last longer.
