Top quality Steam Iron
Great performance and easy ironing! Picked up the Philips 8000 Series Steam Iron from The Good Guys and couldn't be happier. It heats up fast, glides smoothly over all fabric types, and the powerful steam boost easily gets rid of tough creases. Highly recommend it if you want something reliable and efficient.

Extremely Easy to Use
I’ve found the Philips 8000 iron is by far the easiest iron to use. This is because there is no need to set a different temp for each fabric due to the iron automatically regulating the heat based on the item.

At a glance
The Philips 8000 Series Steam Iron Blue is a versatile household iron suited to families and anyone regularly ironing mixed loads. It stands out for its 45 g/min continuous steam, 210 g steam shot, OptimalTEMP fabric-safe operation and smooth SteamGlide Elite soleplate. Vertical steaming also adds flexibility for hanging garments and curtains. Its main limitation is that at 1.78 kg, it feels less portable and lighter alternatives may be easier for travel or quick touch-ups.

Things to consider
At 1.78 kg, it is heavier than compact or travel-focused irons, so it is better suited to regular home ironing than lightweight portability.
Fabric care suitability score
9/10 - Strong for mixed household fabrics thanks to OptimalTEMP, steady steam output and a smooth soleplate.
Ease of use rating
9/10 - Easy to use for regular ironing with no temperature adjustment needed and a generous 300 mL tank.
Travel friendliness
Low - better suited to home use than travel due to its 1.78 kg weight and full-size design.
Safety features assessment
8/10 - Auto shut off after 8 minutes adds useful everyday safety reassurance.
Key benefits
- 45 g/min Continuous Steam: Maintains steady steam output for everyday wrinkle removal across regular loads.
- 210 g Steam Shot: Delivers an extra burst of steam to help loosen stubborn creases in thicker fabrics.
- 300 mL Water Tank: Supports longer ironing sessions with fewer refill interruptions.
- OptimalTEMP Technology: Lets you move between cotton, synthetics and denim without manually changing temperature settings.
- SteamGlide Elite Soleplate: Glides smoothly over fabrics to make ironing feel easier and more controlled.
- Vertical Steaming: Helps freshen and relax creases in hanging clothes and curtains without needing an ironing board.
- Auto Shut Off After 8 Minutes: Adds peace of mind if the iron is left unattended.
- 2.5 m Cord: Gives more reach and flexibility around the ironing area.
Q: Do I need to change heat settings between different fabrics?
A: No. Philips DST8020/20 uses OptimalTEMP, so it can move between ironable fabrics such as cotton, synthetics and denim without changing the temperature. It is built for mixed loads, not for fabrics that should not be ironed at all.
Q: Is this steam iron too heavy for quick touch-up jobs?
A: Philips DST8020/20 weighs 1.78kg, so it has enough heft to press wrinkles with less downward force. The trade-off is that it can feel less nimble for short touch-ups or travel than a lighter compact iron.
Q: Can it steam curtains or clothes while they are hanging?
A: Yes. Philips DST8020/20 has a vertical steam function for hanging garments and curtains, so you do not need to lay every item on an ironing board. It is better for relaxing creases than for creating a crisp pressed finish.
Q: How often will the water tank need refilling during ironing?
A: Philips DST8020/20 has a 300ml water tank, which suits regular family ironing without constant refills. Refill frequency still depends on how often you use steam, especially if you rely on heavier bursts for thicker fabrics.
Q: What happens if I leave the iron switched on?
A: Philips DST8020/20 switches itself off after 8 minutes, which adds a safety back-up if it is left unattended. It is still a full-size corded iron, so it should be placed upright and turned off after use as normal.
Q: Will the cord reach comfortably across a standard ironing board?
A: Yes. Philips DST8020/20 has a 2.5 metre cord, which gives more room to move around a board without feeling tightly tethered. It still needs a nearby power point, so it does not offer the freedom of a cordless design.
