My Azure 4855 is only three hours old. Can't even iron a shirt before auto shut off activates. Half way through one sleeve and it shuts down.
Seriously not happy. Back to Harvey Norman it goes. Ironing is not that complicated. Will buy another brand. Disappointed to say the least.

Bought this iron about 10 months ago.. It wasn't the cheapest but I was happy to pay more for a big brand thinking product would last longer. Used the iron once a week, always allowed it to cool, always emptied water out, always stored carefully on it's end, and de calced it. Picked it up today to use and the whole front plate was swinging dangerously, hanging off. Seems one of the little rivets that hold the plate to main body has come off. Tried to get somewhere with online chat but to no avail. seems like a fault to me as its not something I've caused.

I loved my iron when we first purchasee about 5 years ago.. unfortunatly it wasnt performing as it once did only a few months after. I was dissapointed but just made do since its ny 2nd philips iron i didnt quiet like.
I did however use an iron o'ver a few weeks at my sewing class which was also a philips. Brilliant iron, never wrote down the model number

Bought this Azur to replace my Azur 1000 (which I absolutely loved) and this was the biggest waste of $130!! Not only does it not iron work shirts properly, it has melted so many of my clothes even on a low setting. I contacted the company via their contact page on their website to let them know as I registered the iron when I bought it and I didn't hear a thing from them. Such bad customer service and not impressed with the brand at all anymore.

This was an expensive iron. The dial has suddenly stopped turning and has come off. Unfortunately I didn't keep receipt as the place I bought it from said they would keep my details on file, and didn't. What to do. I have been unable to get it back on and am unable to use it. Very annoying.

This has been a fantastic iron, faultless in 8 years of service. But the continuous steam function no longer works (the on demand shot of steam still works). Not sure it would be worth repairing, but reading the reviews for newer models, it seems the quality of Philips irons have plummeted. Maybe we should trial a Tefal or another brand, but they don't seem to rate much better.

I have been using this iron for about 6 months now, purchased it after my old Phillip's iron of 7 years died so did not research before buying this morning it refuses to heat up the auto off seems to be stuck on and when I checked the reviews ( I know a bit late) it seems this iron does that a lot unfortunately I cant find the receipt. Cant find an iron with decent reviews either is this what happens when companies decide to go with cheap inferior overseas production not sure but I wont buy Phillip's again so very disappointed.

I will never buy a Philips iron again.I had faith in this brand but reading the same issues to other customers looks it's not just an isolated issue.the red start light turns on but nothing happens after.What a waste of time if you cannot make a proper Iron hoe can you make other products .

Has the well known fault of going into stand-by while being used. Needs to be switched off and back on every two minutes. Rang 1300 363 391 but they are closed until 3rd January. Went to Kmart and bought a $12 steam iron. Does everything the Philips iron does, except it doesn't have the auto shut off "feature". Chucked the Philips iron in the bin. Waste of $79 that was!!!!

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.

This is our second Philips iron in 7 years, I think they are great make and model and have a good reputation for quality. We also had a Philips vacuum cleaner back in 1997, it lasted 10 years until the cosmetics fell to pieces like the door not closing, little things but just kept going and going

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.

First one returned after 4 weeks - stopped working, water catchment door wouldn't close properly, Confirmed FAULTY. Second one, stopped working AGAIN, after 8 weeks, light flashes when plugged in but won't heat. It also dips water from the base - VERY DISAPPOINTED. THIS ONE IS GOING BACK TOO. WONT BUY AGAIN!
