Brief introduction about iron Philips PerfectCare Expert GC 9222
Philips PerfectCare Expert GC9222 is a steam iron with many advantages: simple, easy-to-use controls and smart temperature settings. However, it also has a few disadvantages such as: lacking a safety lock and only having a “modest” amount of steam.
Although it’s not a perfect product, it’s really a great iron at a pretty reasonable price – about 8 million, you won’t be able to find a better iron at that price.
Design and features of Philips PerfectCare Expert GC9222
This iron has a smart Optimal Temp feature setting, suitable for all types of fabrics.
The control system of the table is extremely simple. The iron’s boiler only has one button to turn it on and off (press and hold the button for about 2 seconds to switch to energy-saving eco mode, because the machine will only use less than 40% of the energy). The iron also only has 2 buttons: one button for continuous steam spraying and one button for intermittent steam spraying of 340g/minute.
You don’t need to set the iron’s steam level or temperature, because the iron will automatically set it for you. The advantage of the automatic mode is that you can iron clothes without having to arrange them in the correct order from thin fabric to thick fabric as usual.
On the side you will find a calcium deposit collection box to help you easily clean the iron. When the unit notifies you that it’s time to clean the machine, simply unscrew and remove the canister (when the steam generator has cooled down) and rinse the limescale inside the canister.
The storage compartments are also very well designed. Each side of the iron has a space to accommodate the iron’s steam pipe and power cord. The power cord is also covered with braided fabric like the air hose, a very good plus.
However, the iron does not have a safety lock feature. If you have young children or active pets, the safety lock will secure the iron to the base to prevent the hot iron surface from injuring your children or pets. Furthermore, most boiler irons usually have a lock that allows you to safely carry the entire appliance just by holding the handle. But with the PerfectCare Expert, you will hardly be able to move the iron until it has cooled completely. This iron also does not have the feature to automatically turn off after a certain period of non-use.
How to use the Philips PerfectCare Expert GC9222
There are a few simple points in the design of the Philips that you may find uncomfortable to use. For example, you have to remove the iron’s water tank to fill it with water, but the water tank is not balanced, so if you have to fill the water tank from a water tank, you will have to hold the machine’s water tank with one hand.
Once filled, the iron will reach standard temperature quite quickly, about 2 minutes. Controlling the iron is quite simple and the iron is very easy to use. But unfortunately the PerfectCare Expert doesn’t allow you to set the temperature, it only has one “OptimalTemp” setting for all fabrics. Although this temperature setting works quite well, many people still want to set their own temperature because different materials require a different temperature.
Other features are very simple and effective. For example, you press the button below the handle twice to switch to continuous steam so you don’t have to keep pressing the button to get the iron to steam.
The PerfectCare Expert glides over fabric surfaces very easily but doesn’t emit a lot of steam. The steam produced by this iron subsides in 30 seconds, which is quite fast compared to other steam irons at the same price. And eco mode works a bit slow.
Summary
Although it is not as good as other boiler iron models of the same type, the Philips PerfectCare GC9222 is still a large boiler iron model that is easy to use and control.
