This is helping me a lot while quick ironing. Weight is not very much.This iron doesn’t stick to clothes on high heat, and doesn’t cast iron spot on the soleplate. Though I can’t see much steam, but the main job is done very nicely. Even linen clothes are quite well pressed with one press. Glide is smooth . Also this came with very sturdy packaging. No water leaking problem I faced. Very satisfied with this iron. This is best steam iron within budget.

Gliding is somewhat limited in steam mode due to moisture.4⢠Sufficiently long cable with swivel joint at iron for easy movement and usage.5⢠Capacity of the water tank is sufficient for average steaming operation (30 min or more in one fill).6⢠Spray function is well designed, it evenly sprays water and not just throws a fine jet of water.7⢠The spray function produces a fine mist that evenly moistens the fabric, making it easier to iron out tough creases.8⢠Wattage (1440w) is sufficient enough for home usage and can easily cover tough wrinkles and heavy clothes.9⢠Easy and fast filling of the tank owing to the huge filling hole.10⢠Easy and complete emptying of the water tank owing to the large hole, and the sideways opening door.11⢠Weight on the ok side, not a lightweight but not even heavyweight. Some weight is useful as it helps ironing by applying pressure on the cloth.[Empty iron is lightweight only.]12⢠Cableâ¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢CONSâ¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢1⢠Steam control knob looks loose at first, but it works well in the long run.2⢠Water movement during iron creates jerks and affects smooth operation. But that’s the way it will work & you can’t do anything.3⢠For regular lightweight iron users, it will appear bulky at first. But you get used to it in a few days.4⢠No steam burst function in this model GC1905 but you get what you pay for.(Cons are temporary and don’t affect functionality in the long run. So you can buy this.)â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢BUTTONS & KNOBSâ¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢Temperature Dial?

Keep knob & dial in off position.2. Fill the tank to the max level if planning to use steam function.3. Connect to mains.4. Set the temperature control knob to the required position.5. Let it warm up until the indicator goes off.6. Now operate steam knob to low or high steam.7. Enjoy ironing or steaming without interruption till water lasts.8. Use water spray function as required.â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢USAGE TIPSâ¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢1. Use RO filtered water if possible as it’s low in hardness and will ensure the longevity of iron without choking the vents or orifices.2. let the iron heat properly before use. Leakage has been observed if one uses the Iron without heating properly as water will directly pass from vents without getting converted to steam.3. Gently clean soleplate and don’t use any hard material or chemicals.4. Emptying water tank every time after usage is recommended to avoid scaling problem. As calcium deposits are more in standing water.5. Untangle & straighten the cord once after every use before storage. As these cords tend to develop sharp irrecoverable turns over time and those are hot zones for cable failure.6. When not using steam function keep the steam knob in off position.7. Use calc clean mode once in 2 weeks if using normal tap water with medium hardness. If water is very hard, increase the frequency or if using RO water decrease frequency.8. Once in a few months clean steam control needle using vinegar. To remove the needle, rotate the knob to calc clean mode and gently pull it out.9. Last but most important, use a properly earthed wall socket for iron to avoid shocks.â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢CALC CLEANING MODEâ¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢This iron has a calc cleaning mode to descale it. To do so follow the steps below:1. Keep knob in the steam off position.2. Fill tank to max level.3. Rotate temperature dial to max position and wait for the indicator to go off.4. Take out socket from mains and move iron to sink.5. Turn the steam knob to calc clean position and pull it up a few cms.6. Let all water be used up.7. Steam and hot water come out along with calcium deposits.Hit the ‘Helpful’ button if you like my review and you can comment also ð

Quickly heats and works fine!
Purchased Bajaj iron earlier due to cost difference, but the experience was worst! Got the faulty product twice then I cancelled that order and gone for the Philips! Reliable, quality product
