That is, even if the iron is stationary, then the temperature first decreases to the minimum value, after which it turns off completely. The inclusion is blocked until any of the keys on the handle is pressed.

7. System to prevent splashing of water when using steam supply.
8. There is self-cleaning.
9. The "turbo heating" function allows you to iron in 5 - 10 seconds after turning on the iron in the mains.

Naturally, all this affects its cost, but these irons are mainly bought by those who are used to using only the highest quality equipment.

Got this iron for my birthday. Before that, I used some kind of cheap one, even without a name on the case itself. Of course, the difference is enormous in favor of Philips. It irons very delicately, does not stick, you do not need to regulate the temperature at all, it automatically sets it and for some reason it is always correct. Also very compact. The only thing I don't like is that the steam regulator is very tight. It was possible to make a simple button for this.
