Philips Steam Iron 2200W Auto Optimum GC3920 Dark Blue

Our review

The Philips GC3920 is a steam iron built around OptimalTEMP technology, which removes the need to dial in a temperature before you start. You can move from a silk blouse to denim without stopping to adjust anything, and Philips states it is safe even on delicate fabrics. Steam output is listed at 45 g/min continuous with a 180 g boost for stubborn creases, and the SteamGlide Plus soleplate is designed to glide smoothly across fabric. Note that the listing title says 2200W while the summary says 2500W, so confirm the wattage with the seller if that matters to you. It suits households that iron a mix of fabrics and would rather not think about heat settings. Before buying, compare it with irons that offer a separate temperature dial and higher steam rates, and check whether you prefer a lighter or heavier soleplate for long sessions. Also consider whether you need a cordless model or one with a larger water tank, since those change how often you refill. This unit is available on Sokonia.
