Product information

Invented for the most gentle ironing, ironing is now truly simple with the Philips PerfectCare GC9220 steam generator.

Ironing your laundry will be a quicker job than ever: ready to use in just 2 minutes, the GC9220 has up to 5 bars of steam pressure for fast ironing. Revolutionary OptimalTemp technology always delivers the perfect combination of steam and temperature regardless of the garment material, so you can iron silk pyjamas after a cotton shirt without adjusting the settings.

The GC9220’s SteamGlide non-stick ceramic soleplate has a unique steam tip, so even the smallest or most difficult areas will soon look well pressed. You can use the GC9220 vertically as well, for ironing your curtains or even to iron clothes while they are still on the hanger.

Despite the incredible level of care offered by the Philips PerfectCare iron, it is still completely effective on even the toughest fabrics, thanks to a powerful continuous steam output of 120g/min, and a fantastic 230g/min boost. You can iron for up to 2 hours without the need to refill with the large 1.5 litre water tank; and as this tank is removable, refilling is easy.

Key benefits:

  • Optimal temperature technology ensures you can iron any garment without having to adjust the settings: iron silk, linen, cotton and cashmere in any order fuss- and worry-free
  • 230g/min steam boost and 120g/min steam output makes this iron effective on even the toughest fabrics
  • Hassle-free and effective scale removal to extend the life of your steam generator
  • 1.5 litre detachable water tank for up to 2 hours of ironing without refilling
  • Ready to use in 2 minutes

Philips PerfectCare GC9220 Steam Generator Iron 4.6 5 14 14
Philips to the rescue! I bought a Bosch Steam iron 2 years ago within a month a fault developed. Bosch excellent replaced the iron within days. A year later the same fault developed (water gushing out for no reason!) again Bosch replaced within days. My third Bosch iron developed the same fault a couple of months before the 2 year guarantee so I spoke to John Lewis and we agreed that I had persevered long enough. John Lewis with no trouble at all gave me a refund and I bought a Philips Perfectcare. This iron does the job - I have not looked back. I have had it over a month and cannot sing it's praises enough. Again thank you for all the help John Lewis gave me and I've ended up being a very happy customer. 30 April 2013
Simple to use - no knobs or controls to worry about This must be the easiest ever iron to use. It produces a good head of steam and certainly is a quantum leap forward from conventional irons. It is pricey compared to many others but seems well built and the offer of a free "Easy 6" Philips ironing board (with mesh table to assist steam dispersion) by redemption was attractive. Delivery of the board was as swift as the iron. Never having used this type of iron before, I cannot compare to other similar machines but at the moment this ranks as a good purchase and it certainly is an effective piece of kit as far as I am concerned. The only downside is its bulk and a dedicated shelf in the understairs cupboard was our solution. 22 November 2012
Great product Delighted with this iron -my first steam generator and can't believe how good it is -does everything it says- easy to use, easy to refill , no temperature setting, no problem! 15 November 2012
Philips PerfectCare GC9220 review Overall, I am satisfied with the product. I use this product to iron cotton work shirts each week so I wanted something that generated plenty of steam and 'glide' to be able to iron these with minimal efforts. To summarise: Strengths - comes with 1L refillable tank that provides enough volume to iron 10 shirts without refilling again. No water leaks yet. - the glide is smooth and gets through creases quickly - generation of steam is generous, although you need to press the steam button to get extra pressure - well built product, makes less noise compared to others Weaknesses - The automatic temperature detection does not work - the iron did not generate any steam with my cotton shirts. I have to press the steam button to get sufficient steam Overall, I am satisfied. The automatic temperature feature is a gimmic and does not work. The only drawback is steam is not automatically generated, you need to press the steam buttonto be able to achive this, but this is a minor point in my opinion. 15 November 2012
very good product i am very happy to use my new steam iron,makes work much easier 06 November 2012
As good as they say it is Former user of a Bosch, our first steam generator which worked very well. Bought the Philips as a replacement as it sounded impressive even though it was a little more money. The unit it better than expected and seems to work by magic. I don't know how the sensor works, but it does, ironing every item perfectly. Couldn't ask for more. 08 October 2012
Good iron Lovely to use, the lack of a heat control was initially slightly confusing and it cracks through the water but it is very efficient. 14 August 2012
Does just what they said it would! I don't understand how this iron works, as you can't change the temperature for cotton and then silk, you just keep ironing. It just works! I have been using a Tefal steam generator very happily for years, but this is even better! I get the ironing done in double quick time. 07 July 2012
