One only needs to look back a few decades to see the transformation from the once heavy and not entirely hazard-free straightening irons to the lightweight irons of today. The Philips PerfectCare 8000 Series Steam Generator is the pinnacle of this evolution towards making ironing chores, which many dislike, a completely effortless, intuitive experience. Integrating the latest DynamiQ 2.0 motion sensor technology, the appliance detects exactly when and how fast the iron is moved and then automatically releases the right amount of steam needed for effortless and fast ironing. The steam output starts automatically as soon as the iron is moved and stops when it is stationary. The iron, which weighs in at around 800 grams without the base station, even allows for convenient steaming of jackets, dresses or curtains vertically – a powerful feature otherwise only found in professional irons and one that does not only make business-related ironing work much easier and more effortless. The OptimalTEMP technology combines steam and heat automatically, which means: there is only one temperature setting for all fabrics and heat damage done to clothes is a thing of the past. Together with the exclusive colouring and high-quality finish, the dynamic design of the Philips PerfectCare 8000 Series Steam Generator promises high performance in premium quality and outstanding comfort in handling.

The design of this steam generator iron takes the notion of ironing to an entirely new level. On the one hand, it fascinates with technical refinements that regulate heat and steam independently to produce outstanding results fast and effortlessly thanks to the lightweight handpiece. On the other hand, it pushes the boundaries of the classic industrial design look and, with its dynamic, elegant appearance, turns ironing into an aesthetic and emotional experience.
