Works fine but just fine, for this price im expecting more.
pro: 2 in 1 can be used as iron or steamer.
con: not as powerful as a iron or a steamer, took longer to get the job done.
Purchased in June 2019 at eBay for $622.

Hi, I have just ordered and will pick up today the GC9681/80 so should be able to offer an "unpaid real review" for those who worry about "paid reviews. Currently use a Laurastar system I've had for nearly 12 years and just need to replace the filler cap, happy to compare bothe systems will be using the Laura Star board which is designed for this type of application. Have used 4 stars but will balance out with final appraisal soon. Cheers, Oatley Park

What a flop
The reviews on here must all be fake, this iron is a complete flop. The iron simply does not get anywhere near hot enough to work as an iron, this results in having to take 5 times as long to iron a dress shirt and does half the job. It seems nothing I do enables me to remove most wrinkles after multiple passes yet a $20 Target special removes them first pass. Who cares about being able to put an iron down without burning your cloths, you have the stand right next to you anyways and makes the feature pointless if the iron never get...
Read mores hot enough to do what it was made for which is "ironing out wrinkles". Also you have to spend a few extra minutes at the start to run the steam through the iron away from shirts to get any moisture out of the steam and get the steam generator actually running at full speed. Iron does not do the most important thing about ironing which is removing wrinkles.....waste of money and Phillips customer care can't even tell me what temp the iron plate should get too.....uselessPurchased in May 2019 for $599.
Hi there,
We're sad to see that the iron has been causing such a disappointment, that's of course not what we set out to achieve. You mentioned that you've been in contact with our colleagues earlier...
Read more, what did they say? If the unit is faulty, we should be able to offer you help to sort out any defect and make sure you have a working unit. We feel there might be something we're missing here, so we'd suggest reaching out to our colleagues again on 1300 363 391 (AU), or
Well your online colleagues were complete waste of time and just wanted to send me into the store to have them do a warranty return at the stores discretion but could not tell me what they would check...
Read more or how they would determine if it was faulty or just poor design nor could they tell me what temp the heat plate should get to. They also told me there was a temperature control and just need to turn it up, but of course this model does not have a temp control. The problem with this phillips model comes from the fact the heat plate does not get hot enough, its max temp is 140*C and when you add steam this temp drops to 100*C instantly and then drops to 90*C within a few seconds of use. This results in wrinkles not coming out after multiple passes, the steam also is very moist/wet as a result of the heat plate being so low in temp and results in drops of water coming out here and there and the cloths being left damp from the moist steam. The design is simply poor, without the ability to raise the temperature of the heat plate high enough to iron cotton (above 200*C) and to keep the steam dry the iron is never going to work well. There is simply no way the positive reviews up around the place for this iron are true, you cannot iron a business shirt that is part synthetic let alone a cotton T-shirt.Also product review needs to do something to clean up this section, the current rating is made up of paid reviews and clearly a number of "users" who are the same person, just look at their identical ...
Read morereview history (Vlahos, EVA, Kat, Dylan, Sally, Bernie) the rest are all "Ambassadors" which means paid review and should be deleted as they are clearly lying about this product to the point where the ACCC should be notified. SHAMEFUL behaviour Phillips!Questions & Answers

Hi Jason,
Read more it. If you'd like to have the best results, then we'd recommend to keep the steam trigger pressed while using it, especially on tougher fabrics like cotton, linen and jeans. Then move the iron over the same area a few more times without steam to let the fabric dry. When you're ironing silk or shiny fabrics we also recommend to keep the steam trigger continuously pressed while ironing. We hope this helps If not, or if you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to our product team on 1300 363 391 (Australia) or 0800 658 224 (New Zealand) from Mondays to Saturdays: 7:00 am - 7:00 pm EST. They'll be happy to help.Thanks for reaching out to us. We're glad to hear that the your new Philips PerfectCare is to your liking. We're sorry to hear that you'r not completely satisfied with it's power when using...
