Philips 1700 Series Steam Iron GC1720

A good iron! – I don't know why everyone seems to hate it? Ours was bought secondhand and works perfectly, all settings!!! It was a bargain! Very light, quick to heat up, cute colour A bit hard to fill up

Terrible – Looking at the other models for Phillips this is obviously the DUD of the model range. Avoid at all costs its a shocker! It's light to use. Uses too much water. When you change the setting from cool iron to hotter (cottons etc) water gushes freely from the sole plate and wets everything!

Terrible – probably the worst iron i have used and it will be thrown out and i will be telling everybody that is is crap the whole deal, it has a bad bottom plate which gets caught on fabric, it is hard to fill, the water runs out when it is in the upright position. the water comes out as water and not steam. the setting are hard to see... orange writting on an orange iron where the full line is
