Can you use this iron without steam? I am a quilter and sometimes I don't want steam.
3 answers
Technically yes but its not very effective and as a quilter myself I always want steam for perfectly pressed seams. I also have an oliso that everyone raves about but its got nothing on the perfectcare elite and lives in the back of a cupboard.
Jodib, thanks for your response. I too have an Oliso but it keeps "dancing" and turning off so I have to turn it off/on at the powerpoint. It will work well for a while and then start again. My favorite part of it is that I don't have to stand it up, which is also a feature of the Philips. I wish I could try it out as it is a lot of money.

Hi there, thanks for your questions! It seems like the answer was already given above, very helpful indeed. :) You don't have to use the steam boost. However, we do recommend using the steam, as it will improve the overall result. Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

I’ve had my steam iron (GC9642) for about 8 months and it has been great until sometimes discoloured water drips from the bottom. I believe it’s build up of calcification on the plate that creating the discolored drip. I have tried ironing on a damp cloth to clean it but it does nothing. Hope you can help as I have spent a lot of money on this iron.

Hi. I've had my perfect care elite iron for 2 years now. Last week it stopped generating steam. I think water is not flowing in... maybe calcification is making it stuck? What can i do?

I have Philips perfect care elite iron, approximately 4 months old. The decalc beeper and lights suggested I decalc which I have done according to the instruction manual. Yet I cannot iron because the decalc beeper and lights persist every time I turn the iron on.
So....suggestions from here......

Hi Lizzy, I only used the machine for 48hours so I wont be able to tell you whats wrong with it. I will suggest you to contact Philips customer service and discuss the issue with them directly.
Good Luck!
