The only iron you need for even your most delicate designer frock.

Soft silks, plush cashmeres and cosy wools are de rigueur in an y fashionista’s wardrobe. Not only do the y look lush, they also feel great on the skin.

The only drawback: maintenance. These pieces need to be dry-cleaned or gently hand-washed using the right cleansers. And unlike other clothes, they can’t take the high heat from an iron. This means you have to adjust the temperature dial a few times to suit different fabrics, and wait for the correct setting to be reached.

When you’ve got things to do and places to see (and be seen at), spending hours at the ironing board simply won’t do. Thankfully, Philips has just the solution to help slash your ironing time and keep all your clothes in tip-top shape. Meet the Philips Perfectcare Steam Generator GC8650, which works on any garment without the need f or temperature adjustments.

Ultra easy to use

The Philips Perfectcare Steam Generator GC8650 is set at an optimal temperature and steam intensity to suit all fabrics, whether it’s silk, cashmere, cotton or denim. So, you can iron any piece of clothing in any order without having to fiddle with the dial.

Plus, this steam generator is fast and powerful with a high-pressure and continuous steam. Its large 2.5-litre water tank lasts up to three hours, so you don’t have to run to the sink every now and then.

Safe and Quiet

Thanks to its optimal temperature, there is no risk of burns or damage even if you leave the steam generator resting on the garment or ironing board. Plus, it is practically silent thanks to its silencing steam filter and sound-absorbing platform, so you can bid adieu to loud background hissing.

It's green too

To save energy, the safety auto-off function kicks in automatically if the steam generator is idle for 10 minutes. You can also turn on the Eco mode to reduce the amount of steam. Now you can save energy without compromising on the ironing results.
