Philips has brought together the right ingredients to offer an almost flawless steam generator. Some biases of the manufacturer, such as its color or the absence of vertical installation of the iron (which can be disconcerting) cannot hide the very good performance of the machine. Thanks to its ergonomics and its pressing function, it offers a quality and speed of ironing that many are likely to covet…

The Calor SV8030 plant does not have the pretensions of a steam plant with a more generous technical sheet and does not take itself for what it is not. Without fuss, this mid-range device performs its task very well. We can entrust him with small quantities of laundry regularly and be amply satisfied with his services. On the other hand, it will quickly prove insufficient for families with several children and large laundry baskets.
