Comment: The best iron of those that were, my wife really likes how he grunts)

Advantages: Ironing quality, vertical steam, constant steam function, self-cleaning, no need to switch modes

Disadvantages: Large amount of water consumed in the non-stop steam mode, price

Comment: I use the iron for less than a month, but already appreciated it in different situations. Firstly, I would like to mention the function of intelligent steam supply and automatic temperature switching. For me personally, it is very convenient, because you don’t have to think that you should be stroked first, then later, by increasing the power, that ironing with steam, that without. Before that, I had an iron that served steam only in a certain mode with a high temperature, and you also need to steam out delicate things! I also noticed that the steam supply power is much higher compared to my previous instance. For example, children's thick diapers were ironed before with gauze, there is absolutely no need for this. A nice addition to everything was the vertical steaming. This is just a mega-plus, for I think the problems with the curtains are familiar to everyone :-) while you are working on one side, the second is already crumpled. Lowered the score for the weight of the iron, although it is a relative minus. When I just got out of the box, I was stunned by gravity, but in the process of operation I realized that my hand practically does not strain, since it is precisely this very weight that allows not to press on the iron for tighter contact with the cloth. But a significant drawback can be the fact that in the mode of constant steam supply a lot of water is consumed, a lot of it, I would even say. In principle, it is not difficult for me to go and pour more from the filter, but whoever buys special water for an iron is unlikely to be satisfied. Although it is predictable with such and such capacities. By the way, cleans the iron itself. down there is a container for collecting scale.
In general, I am very pleased with the iron. I never liked to iron, but even my husband noticed that a whole pile of linen had disappeared unnoticed one evening))

Advantages: Intellectual steam supply, fast heating, design, high-quality outsole, no risk of burning the fabric

Disadvantages: Weight, difficulty in ironing small parts

Comment: Any fabric can be ironed on the same settings, without spending time adjusting the temperature and sorting clothes. Iron is guaranteed not to burn fabric. It supplies steam only when it is necessary and stops its supply - it copes with this task absolutely independently and eliminates the problem that is typical of ordinary irons - supplying steam even when the iron is in the process of waiting. Also, the steam of this iron is much more powerful than those that I had to use earlier. Built-in steam generator allows you to quickly remove the folds, even the toughest.The iron heats up pretty quickly. If the iron is left unattended and not moved, the device automatically turns off after a while. The sole is of high quality. The design is very nice.

Advantages: Itself regulates the temperature and steam supply, switches itself off, cleans itself, is technically well equipped, powerful, large water tank

Disadvantages: I would like a cord longer, the quality of ironing is not perfect

Comment: A well-designed iron, which excludes everything that previously could strain in ironing. No need to choose modes, make sure that the iron sticks or burns through the fabric, everything in this plan is well thought out and works fine. But behind this safety of fabrics lies the fact that the iron itself doesn’t iron perfectly, even after the maximum steam supply, cotton things have creases, though not critical, but for this price they do not please. For me personally, a big advantage is that the iron switches itself off if left in a vertical position - after 8 minutes, in the horizontal position - after 2 minutes. For family and forgetful people, this is a godsend for which you can overpay.

Advantages: Powerful automated steam supply, no temperature regulators, convenient water tank, long cord

Disadvantages: Decent weight and high power consumption

Comment: Philips Azur Elite GC5039 - a great iron. The best friend for those who like to iron. Automated steam without any temperature controllers. You can iron any fabric in a row without thinking about anything. Burn and spoil the linen is simply impossible. If you need to pause in the work, then you can simply put the iron down (even with the sole down) and it will turn itself off. The power of steam is impressive. And ease of cleaning the filter from scale is not easier. And the iron - just handsome, thanks to modern design.
