Philips new high-end pressurised steam ironing system GC8280 provides users with non-stop steam to make ironing easier and faster. The GC8280 steam system addresses one of the key dissatisfactions identified in consumer testing: the constant need to stop and refill the water tank. Great appearance and beautiful looking clothes can now be achieved with less time and more ease thanks to the Philips GC8280 series steam system.

Philips consumer research revealed that over half (56%) of respondents use their iron 2-4 times per week, and although they take great pride in their laundry, they want to spend a minimum amount of time and effort doing it.
