The box carries the line “Fast and efficient - guaranteed” and the “Original” badge, which marks it as an original Philips product.

Key Features

• Speed shaped soleplate: The box highlights a speed shaped soleplate. The pointed, streamlined shape helps the iron move quickly across clothes, so you can get through shirts, school uniforms, trousers, dresses and bedding with less effort and in less time.

• Easy gliding on all fabrics: The packaging lists easy gliding on all fabrics, with a finished soleplate. The smooth, polished metal surface slides across cotton, linen and other everyday fabrics without dragging, which gives neat, even results.

• Reaches into tricky areas: The box lists a button groove. A groove along the edge of the soleplate lets the iron move around buttons without catching on them, so you can press shirt fronts, collars and seams more easily.

• Fast and efficient performance: The box promises fast and efficient ironing. The iron is designed to heat up and press quickly, so ironing a pile of clothes takes less time.

• Original Philips product: The “Original” badge on the box shows that this is an original Philips product, which gives you confidence in the brand’s quality and support. The box also invites you to register your product and get support online.

• Red indicator light: A red indicator in the handle area lets you see at a glance when the iron is switched on and heating.

• Comfortable open-loop handle with textured grip: The wide handle gives a firm, comfortable hold and keeps your hand clear of the hot soleplate. The ribbed section at the front of the handle gives extra grip while you iron.

• Cord with protective guard: The white power cord leaves the back of the iron through a rounded black guard. The guard protects the cord at the point where it bends most and helps it last longer.

• Black and yellow design: The black body with a yellow line above the soleplate looks smart and professional, and it stands out from plain white irons.

• Stable heel rest: The flat rear of the iron lets it stand upright on its heel while you rearrange clothes or take a break between items.
