The advantages and disadvantages of Philips irons

It is not at all surprising that with such a large list of advantages, the Philips brand is in the TOP of the most reliable and experienced manufacturers of household appliances in the world market, delighting regular customers with exceptionally high-quality offers in different cost ranges.

Philips iron types

All irons in the Philips brand line are usually divided into 4 types:

• Classic models. Presented with a spray and the ability to adjust the temperature. Their power varies within 1900 watts. They are distinguished by economical energy consumption even with a large amount of ironing;
• Steam irons. Designed for dry and wet ironing. Steam can be supplied through the spout or sole. The second option is more convenient and practical, since through the nose, steam can harm tissues that need more delicate processing. This feature is due to the fact that the distribution of the steam flow is uneven;
• Steam generators. Functional models with steam boost that can even be used for vertical processing. They cost much more than other Philips irons. In appearance, they are similar to the classic models, but the steam field is supplied continuously with a temperature of 140-160 degrees;
• Road. These are compact irons that are equipped with modest functionality, but are convenient for transportation, business trips and travel.
