Philips Perfect Care 3000 Series Steam Iron - 1250 W power, 40 g/min continuous steam, 200 g steam boost, 300 ml water tank, blue (DST3031/20)

This Phillips iron performs very well, it gets hot fast with no water leakage. It also glides smoothly over fabrics and puts out a large amount of steam. Good build quality and very sturdy!

I've been looking for a powerful iron at a good price for awhile. Besides ironing my clothes, I sew, so I iron.... a lot! I discovered this Phillips 3000 Steam Iron and thought this would be the perfect iron. It is advertised as having 2400W. That would be a powerful steam iron and absolutely perfect for my needs.I received this iron and it looks exactly like the iron advertised EXCEPT on the box it says that it is only 1250W. That's a huge difference for someone who irons as much as I do. Not nearly powerful enough.Also, the iron was very lightweight compared to other irons I've had in the past. Another negative - and I didn't notice this in the ad - but when I received the iron, I would think it would have included a measuring spout to put water into the iron. It did not have one, but it also did not advertise having one. I thought that was just an automatic thing with all irons - to have the measuring spout included - but it didn't include one. This makes it a bit awkward to have to put the right amount of water into the iron and not overfill. I have spouts, they've always been included with previous irons I've bought. If that is important to someone else, I think they should know.I checked the online ad again and - yes - I did not make a mistake, advertised as 2400W and it is not....only 1250W. I can't repeat that enough, but I don't want someone to make the same mistake that I did.This may be a good iron for people that just need to quickly press something and not use an iron except occasionally, but for anyone who does iron, I just don't think this would be a good fit. It is what I would call a 'starter iron', and should be priced accordingly.
