Product Description
| Greener every day--100% steam power, 20%* less energy The Philips GC3620/22 EnergyCare steam iron's innovative auto energy-saving feature means you get the 100% steam power you need to remove creases easily and thoroughly, while saving 20%* energy automatically by eliminating wasted steam. Auto energy saving The iron's unique handle movement is an important part of the energy-saving technology, as the sensor in the handle responds to your ironing strokes intuitively and automatically ensures that the iron produces an optimal amount of steam for effective wrinkle removal. It regulates the steam output automatically to reduce energy consumption, and delivers great ironing results at the same time. For example, when tackling really stubborn creases, you would naturally exert more pressure on the iron. Doing this means more steam is released by the clever intuitive downward handle movement, almost without you realising it. The Philips GC3620/22 EnergyCare steam iron's innovative automatic 20%* energy-saving feature gives you the 100% steam power needed to remove creases thoroughly. At the same time, it automatically saves 20% more energy by eliminating wasted steam. *Based on IEC clause 11 protocol, compared to predecessor at maximum steam. Double active calc system This iron's handy calc clean function removes scale and impurities easily. To prevent the nasty brown water that sometimes comes out of your soleplate holes, de-calc your iron regularly, particularly if you are using hard water to fill it. The Philips GC3620/22 is equipped with a very effective double active calc system. The pills in the iron break down calc so you can flush away the calc scales easily. Then simply use the calc clean slider to easily remove the scale from your iron. Drip-stop system The EnergyCare iron's clever drip-stop system lets you steam iron delicate fabrics at low temperatures without having to worry about stains from water droplets, keeping your garments safe and spotless. Reaching tricky areas It's easy to get perfect results around tricky areas like button grooves and the small parts of children's clothes with this iron's cleverly-designed pointed tip spray. Easy and comfortable to set up, use and store The EnergyCare is very user-friendly and features an extra-large water inlet for easy filling and a 2 m long cord with 360 cord freedom for comfortable ironing. The iron is suitable for use with tap water. |     |

I've used an ionic steam iron from Philips for many years. After the last one broke down, I went ahead and got this particular model without the ionic steam feature. After having used it for the last few weeks, I am so glad with my choice.
This model makes ironing very quick work indeed. It glides over cottons very easily removing any wrinkles in one go. For very heavily wrinkled fabric using the spray and then ironing over the area works wonderfully. It doesn't drip water so long as you let the iron warm up - which it does fairly quickly too. In terms of weight, its not very heavy and feels fine to hold despite the plasticky feel on the handle.
The iron is very energy efficient and releases more steam as you press down over the fabric. The water capacity is also sufficient and does not run out quickly. You don't have to top up more than a couple of times for a full laundry load.
Overall, its a fantastic product and one that you should buy without hesitation.

(What's this?)
Well needing a new iron I was pleased to see this on vine.
Using it is a bit odd as the handle isn't 'solid' at the back - but more about that later. The sole plate is non-stick and glides effortlessly over your clothes. The iron produces a good amount of steam but make sure you have the temp setting correct for this and the separate steam setting to make the most of it. The iron also has an in-built water spray button as well as a steam boost button (this can only be used on the highest temp). The iron can also be used as a vertical steamer. whilst it isn't as powerful as those steam generators it has done a good job at getting the big creases out of my curtains without having to take them down first.
The handle depresses at the back and this is used to control the amount of steam the iron produces. The harder you press on it the more steam is produced. As we naturally press harder on the heavy creates this makes sure that the right amount of steam is produced all the time. This is where the iron also saves energy as no excess steam is produced. As you put the iron on its heal the steam also turns off.
The iron also has a double anti calc system. Inside the water tank there is an anti scale tablet which Philips claim will last the life of the kettle. There is also the regular calc-clear system which is common with most steam irons.
The hole where you pour the water is also quite large so there is little chance of spilling it everywhere. This hole has a hinged cap to prevent loss of heat and steam.
Using the iron I am able to glide through my ironing which is good as I hate ironing.

(What's this?)
The Iron is a little heavier than our previous Phillips iron, which proved very reliable.
This iron actually does what it says it does in the spiel.
- Steam is curtailed when the iron is 'parked' vertically.
- When you exert more pressure on the iron it does release more steam by the clever intuitive downward handle movement detector, almost without you realising it.
- The extra steam boast is demonstrated by the fact that only one side ironing was required on a thick uniform, instead of both sides. Excellent time and effort saver.
- The 3m mains cable means better positioning of the whole ironing table.
However - DO NOT get 'twists and kinks' in the cord when storing - extra cable could mean slopping cable twists - in
the case of ALL Irons, this can cause early cable damage and terminate usage of the iron due to the nature of
the thick copper wires!
- Power - 2400 watts is a powerful iron, fast to heat up, does waste steam in the rest position,
therefore saving power and the extra steam boost is brilliant for thick collars, seams etc.
- Innovation - it can steam vertically - We've seen girls in the local curtain shop removing creases in hung curtains with vertical steam - it also gets kinks out of clothes on hangers, just tug the material and press steam. Voila! No need to buy a steam kit just for the clever trick.
- Filling - at last Phillips have made the spout filler BIGGER, making it much easier to fill and quicker.
- Emptying, a simple inversion over the sink empties excess water before storing and it does work well, no mess!
- De-calcing - simple and efficient auto cycle - ideal as we have the hardest water in England, which appears to
be mostly minerals (it tastes awful too). This water destroys simple irons, I can testify from the previous
Phillips iron that they do not fail under these conditions as cheap irons have done.
- Brown stains from gunk in the tank - it doesn't happen, which is good having seen friends trousers with
suspicious brown stains on - yeh right the iron huh? Oh it really was? Rats!
Highly recommended tool.

A joy to use
Bought it as I had already used the same iron at my son's house. So far works very well, nice and light and moves smoothly with very good steam action.
