Philips is launching its PerfectCare Elite Plus GC9682, a high-end adjustment-free steam generator that we were quick to put to work. Verdict after ironing our test laundry basket…
With its PerfectCare Elite Plus GC9682, Philips wants to ease the chore of ironing by offering a machine that could almost turn it into a pleasure! The technical promises of the device come to fruition on the ironing board: in addition to well-thought-out ergonomics, the central unit does its job in record time.
Strong points
- Central without adjustment.
- Nice design.
- Length of power cables and steam pipe.
- Smoothing efficiency and steaming function.
Weak points
- Weight.
- No vertical installation.
- The gold color which can be displeasing.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Although it requires a significant investment, the Calor GV9563 central unit deserves the votes of customers looking for a machine that is easy to use and whose ironing efficiency leaves nothing to chance. Well thought out, this appliance should be recommended to those who want to get rid of their ironing quickly or who have large quantities of laundry to iron.
