This is easily the best iron I have used. It heats to temp very quickly, the handle is comfortable to hold, temperature dial is not easy to knock like a sunbeam iron I previously had.

I bought this iron after looking online at all of the available products as this had the highest rating of steam without going to a steam station.

The iron never sticks and glides beautifully over clothes and is well weighted to press out creases without needing to press down hard.

If there wasn't a constant drip from the little valve on the water filler lid I would have given it five stars. The constant drip runs down the handle and wets your hand, the ironing board and any garments you are working on. Not a deal breaker but very annoying.

We previously had a steam glide iron from Philips for over 2-3 years and that was working fine until it suddenly stopped working after the warranty period.

So we decided to purchase another Philips iron. We ended up buying another steam glide plus iron GC4865 from Myer. It has now been about 1.5 months from new and the iron is now staining all our clothes a brown colour and am not happy with this product at all, what can Philips do for me in terms of a refund or send the product back. I ran the product through a clean cycle and it did nothing to help. It's a terrible product and i shouldn't need to be changing irons every 2 months.

This iron was difficult from the beginning. I was recommended to buy a Philips but it didn't take the creases out and mostly spat out water. Now it won't heat up, the light blinks and no heat. It is not used every week and looks brand new, but useless. Reading other people's reviews shows me I am not alone. I wonder whether there has been a marked change in quality control.

From first use, this iron was not effective even though the recommended settings were used. The sole plate was covered in black stuff since the first use which I have been unable to remove. Very noisy iron. Temperature dial is very loose and can be accidentially adjusted easily. Waste of money.

I am really happy with this iron. The only negatives, the cord is way too short, and it would be better if it was lighter in weigh. Also reasonable on price.

This was a great iron. Good steam feature, heated up quickly. It did short out the fuse box a lot. I bought it on the 25th October 2013, and alas it died today. It has a 2 year warranty and it stopped working after 2 years and 4 months. I was hoping for at least three years out of it. Cheers Philips. Off to buy yet another iron.

Great iron while it worked. Got it on visa point about 4 years ago after a year it stopped working and the sole plate was replaced under warrenty. Unfortunately I have had nothing but issues since and Phillips customer service were unhelpful.

The iron started to leave black streaks on clothing despite me cleaning the iron regularly including the sole plate. Eventually the sole plate appeared to wear and get black marks on Its surface that would only come off with the white king iron cleaner and would reappear after a few times of use. I have ruined the last item of clothing and have replaced the iron. Buyer beware!!

This is the best iron I have ever used. Not too heavy, smooth and easy to maneuver. The only other iron to equal this or better is a Philips older model purchased by my sister approx. 13 years ago and still performing well. This is what encouraged me to buy a Philips iron.

Not happy at all with the iron. It worked just for a little over 2 years warranty period, though it is not a cheap iron. It got a serious power tripping issue and a possible safety issue. I cannot afford to buy a new iron every two years. I use a $12 iron now and works a lot better than this iron. I will never ever buy a Philips iron.

I am very disappointed with the Philips Azur Steam Iron. The temperature options are black and the dial and arrow are black making it very difficult to see if you have selected the right temperature option. The steam is very noisy when you sit the iron back on its heel. The steam control sticks when changing the steam options.

Loved this iron! Just brilliant. Best iron ever - great weight, doesn't drip, switches off when I'm not using it. Love the Phillips brand too.

I bought it in June, 2013.
It died less than a month after the 2 year warranty expired, last week! (July 2015).
I've never had an iron die on me before, let alone after 2 years. Am totally unhappy as now I have to buy a new one after just 2 years of basic use.

Not happy.
