Philips 7000 Series Steam Iron - 2800W, 50g/min Steam, 250g Steam Boost, Vertical Steam, SteamGlide Plus Soleplate, Louros/Cotton Blue (DST7020/20)

Product Information

We really liked the feel of this iron. It’s substantial in the hand without feeling too heavy, and it has a smooth action from the large soleplate. It also has a solid stand built right in, meaning you can put it down at any point with no fear of it falling over, and the big dial in the middle makes it easy to control the temperature. The cord is a little on the short side and the water tank isn’t as large as some, but this is an excellent iron with some powerful steam. Easy-To-Fill Water Tank: Aim for a model that is simple to refill and features an easy-grip handle for maximum comfort.

Power and Wattage: Depending on your ironing needs, busy households should opt for 2600W, you can even find 3100 watts if you have mountains of daily ironing. The soleplate is large and smooth, and there’s even a texture brush attachment to remove any debris before ironing. Our only slight criticisms are that there’s no built-in de-calc facility – so, depending on how hard your water is, you’ll need to buy and use a descaler from time to time – and the iron is heavier than many others.

Our pick of the best steam irons for a pain-free ironing experience

Starting from the completion of this transaction, you will automatically receive 1 brush head every 3 months, until you have notified us that you wish to pause or cancel your subscription. The variable steam function allows you to adjust not only the power of the steam but also its direction and the humidity, producing good amounts of steam which, combined with the smooth soleplate, helps remove creases faster, speeding up the ironing. As well as the usual steam settings, there’s also a turbo steam button located under the handle for an extra burst. It also has a MicroScale filter, which helps to reduce limescale stains on your clothes by filtering out limescale particles – making it one of the better choices on the market if you live in a hard water area. Cost Effective: Depending on how much you iron, you will want to consider how much you will be using the iron before splashing out. The Philips DST7020 is lightweight and comfortable in the hand, making it ideal for those who have a lot of ironing to get through. The soleplate is smooth and glides well over all types of fabric and the iron itself has a sleek, attractive look.

The Sonicare brush head replacement subscription is all about bringing convenience to your healthy smile. High Steam Pressure: Steam output is everything, especially if you want to target deep into all types of fabrics. This isn’t a machine you’d use for huge amounts of ironing as the water reservoir is tiny – it’s built into the handle and will definitely need refilling if you’re steaming multiple items – but it’s incredibly easy to fill, mainly because Tefal have had the foresight to make it removable from the main body of the steamer.We were really impressed with the huge amounts of steam, which was consistent and easily controlled with an on/off button. There are three settings for steam on the iron and a concentrated steam zone at the front of the iron to make it easier to remove creases. It also works as a vertical steamer, although you’ll probably still need to iron the fiddlier parts of a garment flat.
