Philips GC4887 / 30 Azur Pro

Advantages: Beautiful, comfortable, powerful iron (heats up literally in ten seconds). It has good ergonomics, a very high-quality sole, a long cord, on the whole a very good build (even inside everything is qualitative). In a word, it is pleasant to iron the iron, it is convenient to hold it in your hands, and electronic protection will, if necessary, turn it off from the network in time.

Disadvantages: To "return" the steam strike had a little pokolovat.
The instructions for the iron read: "The device is suitable for use with tap water. If the water in your area is very hard, scale can quickly form in the device. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prolong the service life of the device."
I used demineralized water from a reverse osmosis filter, with which I would never get a normal steam boost! As a result, I had to spin the iron a couple of times to get to the bottom of its absence! Instructions wrote Losers, for iron (almost) for 10 000 rubles!

Comment: 1. As soon as he pulled the iron out of the box, poured water (from a reverse osmosis filter, i.e. almost distillate), turned it to maximum power, decided to try a steam boost. When you click on the "steam boost" button, nothing happened. Pressing a dozen times on it, the hiss began and if you shake the iron, the hiss intensified with the appearance of steam (not steam blow!) And the water running out through the holes. The hand pump of the steam blow is working normally, the water feeds in small portions, it means the reason is in the sole, something inside is wrong with it. Scale could not be, because the iron is new!
Disassembly of the iron and a thorough study showed that distilled water inside the evaporation chamber rolls in droplets, and is kept on the steam cushion, gradually evaporating. No instant wetting and evaporation. The main solution was the use of ordinary tap water. It evaporates left layers of scale on the metal, which contribute to the active wetting with water of the hot metal surface. A steam boost appeared. Read more about this all here:

2. During long-term operation, the thermal protection on the surge protector is triggered, since they are designed for the most part for a power of 2 kW.

Advantages: Very good move, it slides easily and smoothly on clothes. A large water tank (although it is still consumed quickly). Long cord.

Disadvantages: The main disadvantage is the cost!

Comment: I don’t know where to put it, the Bosch iron was one of the advantages or disadvantages, it was so high and the center of gravity was higher, but this iron is lower and so far it can be said just not familiar. Unusually, even the fact that Bosh was also heaped up and constantly the steam from it was going should have seemed to smooth out better, but so far I like this device more.I will try to write about other pros and cons after a few months of use.
-------------------------
So, as promised, 4 months have passed. By the minute there is nothing to add. But after a long use, the difference with the battle became noticeable. In this model, water consumption is less than 4 times and that is best of all, without loss of quality, eyes.
In general, I am pleased with the purchase I recommend to everyone!

Advantages: Stylish, beautiful, fun to watch. Iron well.

Disadvantages: by design, tall, unusual. The price may be a bit high, but I can't get enough of it. Pet

Comment: Before buying it, I thought that the past iron was normal. But everything is known in comparison. It turns out that he warmed up more slowly and stroked worse. This smoothes instantly, the heating rate is high.

Advantages: Heating in seconds, slides like clockwork, powerful steam blow

Disadvantages: There was a slight release of dirt with steam like other irons.

Comment: We bought a gift for my mother for the new year, after we received and tried to iron, ordered a second one.
Heats up in seconds like a reactor. The steam is so powerful that it literally pushes the iron upwards. This is well felt by the hand. Ironing is perfect, even enough to iron on one side.

Advantages: Excellent strokes, stylish looks

Disadvantages: Have not found yet. Well, except that the price

Comment: I bought an iron yesterday. In comparison with the old iron heaven and earth. Perfectly smoothes even overdried towels and jeans, easily slips on the fabric. The steam blow is powerful, the cord is long. I hope it will last a long time
