Take this with a grain of salt as far as longevity and reliability goes, but last night I used my new iron for the first time and can say and I am extremely impressed!
The iron glided over my business shirts with ease and took no pressure at all to get wrinkles out of the shirts.
Very light and easy to maneuver. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Glides over clothes, light and easy to handle.

I exchanged about 4 different irons in the last year until I found this one the GC 4865. It's the first iron I found that actually irons out creases in business shirts. It worked very well on everything I've ironed. I would most definitely recommend this iron, it glides over the clothes very smoothly.
Works well

My old iron broke and we went straight out for a new one. This was the mos expensive I the shop do we decided to go for a "middle of the road" one in terms of price. Well it was awful!! Took it back next day and swapped to the Philips. What a difference. Lots of steam. Quick and easy. Light and easy to use. Love the fact it turns itself off if you forget! Definitely recommend.
Light and easy to use. Turns itself off. Lots of steam.

This is a good iron that I use mainly for business shirts. The feature I love the most is the steam tip, which is fantastic when you want to iron in those hard to reach areas, especially good for little items like baby clothes. The steam hit is fantastic and you can get a few good hits out of it in one go.
Steam tip is the best
After about an hour or so of ironing, it start to leak quite a bit of water through the steam vents.

I have persevered with this iron but for cotton business shirts it just doesn't do the job. No matter how hard I press they are never wrinkle free. Very disappointed considering the price. The only reason I am still using it is that I resent having to buy another one when I spent so much on this one.

My advice? Don't touch it, my old $30 one did a much better job, such a shame it stopped working and I bought this as a substitute!
Salesman sold it as the best iron ever so took his word for it.
Expensive, doesn't get wrinkles out well enough.

This iron is a replacement under warranty for a previous Phillips iron that lasted a few months. Myer said they wouldn't replace this one again, so it's going in the bin. It steamed OK for a few months then gradually lost output. Usage has been ironing for two plus my wife's dressmaking. She has just pointed out that after an hour's ironing it has used a 1/4 tank water and her cotton dresses are not properly ironed. Even I can see they still have creases in them. When first bought it would use a whole tank in that time. Irons just don't last more than a year these days; you're lucky if you get that long.

Expensive, poor steam output, not durable

I purchased a Tefal and was very disappointed in its ability to provide steam and its constant drips on my shirts. I took it back to Myer and swapped if for a Phillips Azur as recommended by the sales assistant. This is an outstanding iron for the money that provides constant steam and makes ironing my work shirts easy. It has good weight to it and glides across fabrics with ease. It also has an auto-stop feature if you leave it face down or if you leave it standing upright for an extended period. Both great features for people like me!
Heaps of steam, easy glide, doesn't drip, simple to use.
Hard to fault for the money

Perfect, best iron I have ever used wife quoted.
The steam power is unbelievable (ionic steam). My wife actually doesn't hate ironing anymore.
Makes ironing easy
Expensive RRP was 159 got it for 122 from the Good Guys

Philips have perfected this product - not cheap but value for money. If you want a great time saving device that works very hard this is it.
They say don't buy the missus anything with a electrical cord for xmas but buy her one of these and you'll be in like Flynn. Power, power & more power with lashings of continuous steam.

We love this iron! we have had it for 2 years. Before this one we had another brand which we returned to the shop 3 times because of faults it is very solid and has fantastic steam...which we use for my husbands business shirts and my sons school shirts...great iron, good value.
great steam, solid, good price

I take in ironing for a living, so I need a quality iron. This is it. Fantastic. Plenty of heat and steam. It is a function called Ionic Deepsteam and it can iron the toughest denium with no effort at all. Cuts ironing time down dramaticaly
Steam

Overall I am extermely happy with the purchase. I almost enjoyed ironing as it was so easy. I was debating purchasing the top iron with the Ionic Steam function which was $50 more expensive but this model irons so well I don't think it would have been worth spending the extra.
It irons beautifully. I mostly iron cotton business shirts and it gets through those with ease (even those that were washed a while ago). It produces lots ot steam and the bases glides easily over the fabric.
It is a bit heavy, gets through quite a bit of water (as it would prducing all that steam) and the steam production makes quite a bit of noise.
