The iron with steam generator from the Philips PerfectCare Compact series has quite compact dimensions: the iron weighs only 1.2 kg, and the entire system weighs just under 3 kg. Thanks to this, the device fits on the ironing board and does not take up much space when stored. The Carry Lock feature ensures that the iron is securely locked into the station for easy carrying. At the same time, the compact dimensions did not in any way affect the power and performance of the model.
The power of 2400 W ensures fast heating - the equipment is ready for use within a few minutes after switching on. Steam is supplied under a pressure of 6.5 bar, penetrating deep into the fabric and removing stubborn creases and unpleasant odors. The main advantage of the iron is the absence of temperature settings and, accordingly, the need to sort the laundry. OptimalTEMP technology implies one optimal temperature that is safe for any materials - from silk to denim.
The manufacturer assures that the iron can even be left on clothes or an ironing board - the sole will not leave marks or shine. When it comes to steaming, the Philips PerfectCare Compact GC 7842 operates with continuous steam (120 g/min) or an intense but short burst of steam (400 g/min). There is also an eco mode that saves up to 20% energy, and the possibility of vertical steaming.
The reservoir holds up to 1.5 liters of water, which is enough for 1.5 hours of battery life. The tank is made of transparent material to control the water level and is easy to fill directly from the tap. In addition, among the advantages of the model are a scratch-resistant and easy-to-glide SteamGlide sole, an auto-shut-off function if the device is not used for several minutes, a cord storage compartment, sound alerts and a special Calc-Clean stand included, allowing you to carry out the procedure self-cleaning from scale.
