A fast and powerful iron, the Philips DST7020/20 Steam Iron helps me a lot to save time and leaves my clothes neat.I really like the design and the anti-dripping feature is something that I really love. All my previous irons were dripping water and that sometimes combined with scale was leaving stains on my clothes especially on the white shirts. This iron is not just fabulous with steaming, but it also has such an easy way to clean it.As per the plate, it glides effortlessly, and this helps me a lot. What I have always wanted to have in an iron, I have it with this Philips Steam Iron.The iron can be used vertically as well, and this helps me when I want to refresh my suit jackets, without leaving creases on them.In terms of capacity, it holds enough water ... MoreA fast and powerful iron, the Philips DST7020/20 Steam Iron helps me a lot to save time and leaves my clothes neat.I really like the design and the anti-dripping feature is something that I really love.

Our previous iron was a Philips Azur Performance Plus 2400W. Unfortunately, it got retired after falling onto tiled concrete floor. It only fell because I tripped over the chord that pulled the iron of the ironing board. Surprisingly it only received damage to the housing at its base by dislodging from its connections and slightly coming apart. I managed to get it back together again, secure it, and Wola, to my amazement it worked fine. One can only say a great product well manufactured. It was a great iron, and it was a shame to have to opt for safety and buy a new one. With its great performance we decided to go with Philips again. However, having used the iron now for about 4 months my only comparison complaints of new to old are, the chord is only 2.5M as ... MoreOur previous iron was a Philips Azur Performance Plus 2400W.

However, having used the iron now for about 4 months my only comparison complaints of new to old are, the chord is only 2.5M as opposed to 3M, but this is only our situation, it may not be to others. There is no chord tidy clip, the filler housing cap opens to the front and stays erect and can be slammed against the tap causing it to break, the old opened sideways and lay flat, the water housing plastic is dark and difficult to see the water level. It may be only me, but I feel the handle position/style has been changed slightly and was awkward to pick up for the first few times. It heats up quick and does do a great job as did the old. Iron was purchased 12/7/2024, and except for the differences above I would have given it a 5 star rating.

On first impressions this has sleek lines and is on a cool blue. It is a powerful 2800w, so 400w more than my current model so my first thought is can I iron quicker to save electricity? There is large water tank and the usual heat settings 1(synthetics) to 3 (cotton). However, the dial also allows you to set the iron cooler than 1, and “maximum” for linens, which need more power.My existing iron has a jug to fill the iron, so I resorted to using this as whilst the hole is quite large it wasn’t quite big enough for my kitchen tap.Once fired up I had no issues with the iron. It feels a little heavier than I am used to , especially once I had filled it up to the 300ml water capacity. It glided over my washing with ease, and the narrower tip made navigating around ... MoreOn first impressions this has sleek lines and is on a cool blue.

It feels a little heavier than I am used to , especially once I had filled it up to the 300ml water capacity. It glided over my washing with ease, and the narrower tip made navigating around the shirt buttons simple enough. I did make use of the steam setting and the cotton (30 setting) for a pair of jeans, and it was effortless.It has the Standard spray button on the handle, and a 250g steam boost but I didn’t need either within the washing I needed to iron whilst testing but it is better to had for stubborn creases than not. The 50g/minute steam setting was sufficient for the load, and the tank having a larger capacity was certainly a benefit than needing to refill part way through.It took quite a while for the iron to cool down afterwards before putting it away – you can wrap the cord around the base (but unfortunately no plastic clip to hold the cord in place).What I don’t like is the fact there’s 4 leaflets. All of them have over a dozen languages so you need to find the English. One is the guarantee , the User manual is only images and hardly any words. There are two leaflets that look identical that have a warning about the ‘Quick Calc” system. I found this the most frustrating aspect of this appliance. Older users may find this overwhelming.For example, there’s an “eco” mode, but I found no details or explanation other than to use on silks. Similarly, no explanation about the “Quick Calc” system. It took a while before I spotted you need to check every 3 months.If I was rating this purely on the literature/instructions, it would get a thumbs down! As it is I did find the Philips Azur iron pleasant and reasonably easy to use for everyday use.
