### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ really good iron but...
*by P***M on 29 September 2022*

Have always had Tefal steam generator irons previously but thought I would give this a try. Very impressed with its performance but unfortunately after about 5 months I realised it was hardly putting out amy steam. I kept de-calcing it but eventually rang Philips customer care. I couldn't find my receipt but very helpful chap sent me a link so I could upload a picture of the underneath giving serial number etc. He then arranged for a courier to collect it the following day free of charge. It did take a few weeks but it was eventually returned to me repaired and fully working, apparently they had to replace the steam pipe as it was blocked. Fingers crossed that this doesn't occur again as I only use it once a week, there are only two of us so it shouldn't have had a problem. Having said that I love the iron and was very impressed with the after sale service.
