Unique automatic steam setting in speed mode
OptimalTemp technology guarantees that no ironable fabric will burn
Extraordinary lightness and maximum steaming power
OptimalTemp technology is a unique combination of ideal temperature and the correct amount of steam that represents a revolution in ironing. You don't have to spend time worrying about temperature settings because it is safe for use with all ironable fabrics.
Imagine how comfortable it is to work with an iron that automatically adjusts the steam to the speed at which you iron clothes. Philip's intelligent new motion sensor follows how you move the iron and delivers powerful steam automatically. As a result, ironing is up to 35% faster than when using an iron with manual steamadjustment. What's more, the iron is ready for use in just two minutes.
Powerful and continuous steaming easily deals with the toughest of fabrics. With an extraordinary steam boost of up to 700g, even the most stubborn creases succumb in an instant. Continuous steam output of up to 170g/min guarantees excellent results when steaming clothes and curtains vertically.
The intelligent DynamiQ sensor recognises exactly how and when the iron moves. It automatically provides powerful steam when you need it the most. Not only does it make ironing faster and easier, but it also reduces your energy bills.
As the Philips PerfectCare 8000 Series iron weighs a mere 0.85kg, it is exceptionally easy and comfortable to use. It glides like a dream across all fabrics while removing the toughest creases. The ultra-low weight makes vertical steaming easy, fast and efficient without causing unnecessary strain on your wrist.
OptimalTemp technology guarantees that you won't burn any fabric. You can steam and iron all types of ironable fabrics without spending time sorting them into piles according to the type of material. Thanks to the preset temperature, you will no longer be at risk of damaging your clothes—100% guaranteed. You can quickly and efficiently smooth out creasesfrom hard-wearing jeans and other tough fabrics through to delicate clothing such as silk blouses and cashmere sweaters. It is also no problem to iron garmentswith attachments, such as buttons and buckles.
An innovative SteamGlide Elite soleplate ensures superior results with smooth gliding and maximum scratch resistance. Its stainless-steel base is twice as hard as a regular aluminium base while Philips patented six-layer coating with advanced titanium layers glides effortlessly for the fastest results.
With a 1.8-litre capacity, you can iron and steam clothes continuously for up to two hours without refilling. When the water tank is empty, an indicator light will give you a gentle nudge. The transparent tank is simple to remove and easy to refill thanks to the large filling door.
OptimalTemp technology not only guarantees ironing without burns but also allows you to safely leave the hot iron resting directly on your clothes or ironing board without fear of damage. This also reduces wrist strain as it is not necessary to repeatedly lift the iron from its base.
The steam generator features a safety carry lock that secures the iron to the base station for easy transport and to reduce the risk of accidentally touching the hot soleplate.
Regular descaling protects your iron while maintaining powerful steam performance. The Easy De-Calc Plus system removes limescale and extends the service life of your iron. Easy De-Calc Plus continuously collects limescale. An indicator light and audible signal inform you when it is time for emptying. Once the iron has cooled down—just press the Easy De-Calc button—remove the cap and let the water and limescale particles flow.
