According to our iron expert
Easily work your way through a pile of laundry with the powerful and continuous steam of the Philips FastCare Compact GC6742/20. This lightweight iron fits exactly on your ironing board and thanks to its compact size, it's also easy to store. By means of steam bursts of 300g per minute, you'll make short work of creases in the thickest fabrics. As soon as you turn on the steam bursts, you can see the persistent creases disappear before your eyes. In addition, the steam generator is also suitable for vertical steaming. This is useful to remove creases from the curtains, for example. And when the job is done, the iron shut itself of within a few minutes.

I am positively surprised by this steam generator. The device is compact in size and therefore easy to store. After connecting, it quickly reaches temperature and cools down quickly after disconnection. For this I used a steam iron, this really makes a world of difference. Due to the steam boost that this generator gives, the creases are ironed away in no time and it makes a huge difference in the time I spend ironing. The price and quality ratio is in good proportion, so highly recommended!

I am very disappointed in this steam generator. I did more than 12 years with my previous Philips steam generator. This only needed to be replaced because the cord was worn, otherwise the device still performed excellently. Did a lot of research and came up with this affordable steam generator.
After 2x ironing, dirty steam came out of the machine, so the clothes had to be washed again... The third ironing happened again and I started descaling. This seemed quite strange to me after ironing 3x briefly, but yes it seemed to me the only solution. Sure enough, so much filth came out that I have the idea that the device has been used before... :-(
There are also dirty spots under the iron due to the dirt that comes out. Despite descaling, dirt continues to come out of the iron.
In addition to this enormous annoyance, the appliance steams a lot less than my old appliance, while by comparison with my old appliance the steam power should be at least double. The steam power I expected will come, but only when I stop holding the steam button and reset the iron while ironing...
In addition, I find the iron itself a bit on the heavy side and it does not glide smoothly over the fabric, is sometimes stiff and that makes it extra heavy.
I iron daily so I regret this purchase.
All in all, I would have been better off replacing the cord of my old device, so I would never have bought this device...
Unfortunately I cannot return it as the device has now been used. But as I mentioned earlier, I have the idea that the previous user was not completely honest about that... Hopefully you can do something for me at CoolBlue, but at least you are now aware of this.
Teleurgesteld :-(
