Steam Iron Features to Consider
Power
Power is one of the specifications to compare when buying a steam iron. The supplied Philips range covers 1200W, 1250W, 1350W, 1750W, 2000W, 2200W, 2800W and 3000W models.
If you are comparing models, consider power alongside steam output, soleplate type and other features rather than looking at wattage alone.
Continuous Steam and Steam Boost
Continuous steam provides steam during ironing, while steam boost provides an additional burst for suitable ironing tasks.
For example, the DST8040/30 provides up to 80g/min continuous steam and up to 260g steam boost. The DST6130/40 provides up to 50g/min continuous steam and up to 220g steam boost. The DST1510/20 and DST1530/20 provide 17g/min continuous steam and up to 150g steam boost.
Soleplate
Philips steam irons in this range use ceramic, non-stick or other specified soleplate technologies.
Ceramic soleplates are available on models such as the DST3011/20, DST6130/40 and GC1028/20. Non-stick soleplates are featured on models such as the DST1510/20, DST0810/30 and DST0820/20.
Water Tank Capacity
Water tank capacity ranges from 150ml on the GC1011/01 to 350ml on the DST8040/30.
If you regularly iron larger quantities of clothing, comparing tank capacity can help you choose a model suited to your routine.
Calc-Clean
Several Philips steam irons include a Calc-Clean or Calc Clean Slider for scale management. The DST8040/30 features a quick-release slider specified for 5-second Calc Clean maintenance.
Vertical Steaming
Selected Philips models can steam hanging garments or hanging fabrics such as curtains. This feature is available on the DST8040/30 and DST3011/20.
Drip Stop and Auto Shut-off
Drip Stop is available on selected models to help prevent water drops from staining garments. Auto Shut-off is also available on selected models, including the DST8040/30, DST1530/20 and DST6130/40.
Steam Iron Buying Guide
Before you buy a Philips steam iron, compare the features that matter most to your ironing routine.
Choose based on power: Philips offers models from 1200W to 3000W, providing different options across the range.
Compare steam performance: If stubborn creases are a regular concern, look at both continuous steam and steam boost specifications.
Check the soleplate: Ceramic and non-stick options are available across the range.
Consider the water tank: Capacity varies from 150ml to 350ml, so compare this specification based on your ironing needs.
Look for convenience features: Depending on the model, you can find variable steam, spray functions, vertical steaming, Drip Stop and swivel cords.
Consider maintenance: Models with Calc-Clean systems or sliders provide a specified method for managing scale buildup.
Steam Iron vs Steam Press
A steam press and a steam iron are not the same type of product. A steam iron is a handheld appliance that combines a heated soleplate with steam and can be moved across different sections of a garment.
Philips steam irons can include features such as steam boost, variable steam control, spray functions and precision tips. The Triple Precision Tip on selected models is designed to help reach areas around buttons, seams and pleats.
For shoppers searching for a steam press, it is therefore useful to first consider whether a handheld steam iron matches their ironing requirements.
