Philips Easy Speed Steam Iron Review

The Philips Easy Speed Steam Iron is a blue and white steam iron with a multitude of features designed for convenience and results. It achieves fast crease removal, aided by powerful bursts of steam. It emits 30g per minute of continuous steam, with a 150g per minute steam boost for tougher creases. The heat up time is fast due to the 2400W of power.

The Philips Easy Speed Steam Iron has a ceramic soleplate. Such a soleplate has numerous advantages. For example, it's durable, facilitates a smooth glide on ironable garments, is non-stick and is scratch resistant. The iron comes equipped with a calc-clean slider which protects to some degree against limescale, extending the iron's lifespan. There's also an anti-dripping feature.
