Innovation in the areas…

Ok, so, the Philips stand steamer 3000 attempts to solve three main gripes I hold regarding the joy of ironing clothing.
-Space requirements for Storage/Usage
-Time taken (including setup)
-Physical effort/strain.
It certainly isn't the first of its kind. But what sets the Stand streamer 3000 apart from the rest, is that it actually accomplishes all that it claims to be. It does the job, and boy does it do it well.
One of the key reasons for this is build quality.
Yes, there's a lot of plastic, almost all of it is and that includes joints and supports. But somehow, Philips has managed to design something rock solid, with no discernible flex, creakiness or wobble. I can trust that it won't be knocked over by hyperactive doggos or collapse mid-steam. The tilting function is something I genuinely use and that's ONLY because such adjustments lock in place with a satisfying click.
Another reason is performance and companion accessories.
It heats up quick and stays consistently steamy. There aren't thousands of add-ons. But honestly that's a good thing, because the accessories it comes with, actually work well. The brush head helps to remove lint and physically protects more delicate items (kinda like a spacer of sorts), and the heat-proof glove is an absolute godsend that I cannot do without.
There IS still room for improvement. You still get wet spots on clothing for some reason, the water tank, whilst easy to remove is a bit awkwardly placed to remove for refilling purposes (front > rear mount I'd say), and the tank sorta leaks whilst carrying it...no matter how careful you are (have a paper towel on ya just in case).
But otherwise, I love this thing to bits. It makes my life easier, and this added convenience has revitalised my willingness to take better care of my outfits and formalwear. Heck, It'd been so long since I'd ironed something that I forgot I'd ever even bothered with such things before I came across this. So, this one naturally gets a glowing review from me.
