The Philips GC1742/40 is a steam iron from the EasySpeed series designed to make daily garment care more efficient. It operates with 2000 W of power and features a non-stick metaloceramic soleplate that glides smoothly over various fabrics, while its triple precision tip allows you to reach tricky areas like buttons or collars with ease. You can adjust the steam output across four different settings to suit your specific textiles, benefiting from a continuous flow of 25 g/min and a powerful 90 g/min steam boost for stubborn creases. To further assist with tough wrinkles, an integrated water spray is available, and the ability to steam vertically makes it useful for refreshing hanging clothes or curtains. Maintenance is simplified by a dedicated Calc Clean slider that helps remove limescale, ensuring the device remains functional over time using standard tap water. The red chassis houses a 220 ml water tank with a wider filling hole to reduce spills, and the 1.9 m cord provides enough reach to move around your ironing board comfortably without constant unplugging.
