PHILIPS and TEFAL Generator Ironing Systems

Philips and Tefal steam generator irons work by heating water held in a station tank. This heated water by Philips 7000 Series and Tefal Pro Express Vision “generates” high-pressure steam which is fed through a hose to the iron’s soleplate.

This constant flow of hot PHILIPS PSG7300/80 and TEFAL GV9820G0 pressurised steam works deep into fabrics, efficiently ironing out wrinkles and creases, leaving laundry smooth.

Because the base water tanks on PHILIPS and TEFAL steam generators are separate – holding 1.5 and 1.2 litres, respectively – it makes the iron handle and soleplate light, easy to move, and requiring less refills.

The Tefal GV9820G0 and Philips PSG7300/80 steam generator irons are designed to handle ironing large loads of laundry with ease.
