Philips Dry Iron GC160/07 with Non-Stick EasyGlide Soleplate

Our review

The Philips GC160/07 is a dry iron, meaning it relies on the heat of its soleplate rather than steam to press fabrics flat. Its two defining traits are a lightweight build and a non-stick EasyGlide soleplate, which Philips says helps the iron move smoothly across fabrics so ironing takes less effort and time. That combination tends to suit people who iron often but in short bursts, or anyone who finds heavier irons tiring on the wrist. Because it is a dry iron, it is worth thinking about the fabrics you handle most. If you regularly press thick cotton, linen or heavy workwear, a steam iron or a model with a burst function may smooth out deep creases faster. A dry iron is often the simpler choice for lighter fabrics, quick touch-ups and households that prefer fewer settings to manage. Before buying, check the soleplate material and condition, the weight in your hand, and whether the cord length and handle shape suit your ironing setup. Compare it with other dry irons on soleplate quality and comfort rather than extras it does not have. It is available on Sokonia.
