Makes ironing easy
Love that it adjusts the temperature to what you are ironing helps to eliminate the chance of iron sticking to certain fabrics. The only one negative I find is that the black cover makes it hard to see the water level.

Awesome features
Lightweight, packed with all the features you need. No complex settings and simple to use. Does perfect ironing jobs on all type of materials. The steam selector could be a "let-down" look and feel for some due to the plastic material used, but it works just fine. Definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking to purchase a new iron.

At a glance
A practical mid-range steam iron for households that want easy, reliable ironing across everyday fabrics without sorting temperatures. It suits regular family use with strong 45g/min steam, vertical steaming and auto shut-off for peace of mind. OptimalTEMP helps protect delicate items, while Calc-Clean supports long-term upkeep. The main limitation is that it is corded and not as powerful or feature-rich as premium ironing systems.
What it’s great for
- Everyday ironing
- Mixed fabric loads
- Delicate garment care
- Shirt and school uniform touch-ups
- Curtain and hanging garment steaming
Where it works best
- Family homes
- Apartments
- Laundry rooms
- Regular household ironing setups
Who it’s for
- Households
- Busy families
- Everyday home users
- Renters
- Anyone ironing mixed fabrics regularly
Things to consider
It is well suited to regular home ironing, but shoppers wanting faster bulk ironing, cordless flexibility or higher steam performance may prefer a premium iron or steam generator.
Fabric care suitability score
9/10 - Strong for mixed household fabrics, including delicate items, thanks to OptimalTEMP and adjustable steam settings.
Ease of use rating
8.5/10 - Straightforward for everyday use with one temperature approach, smooth soleplate and a practical 300mL tank.
Travel friendliness
Low - better suited to home ironing than travel due to its full-size corded design.
Safety features assessment
8.5/10 - Auto shut-off adds useful protection if the iron is left unattended.
Key benefits
- OptimalTEMP: Lets you iron all ironable fabrics at one setting, reducing the need to adjust temperature between garments.
- 45g/min Continuous Steam: Delivers steady steam output to loosen creases more effectively during everyday ironing.
- Up to 190g Steam Boost: Adds extra burst power for tougher wrinkles in thicker fabrics.
- SteamGlide Plus Soleplate: Glides smoothly, resists scratches and is easy to clean after regular use.
- 300mL Water Tank: Supports longer ironing sessions before refilling.
- Vertical Steam: Helps refresh hanging clothes or curtains without setting up an ironing board.
- 4 Steam Settings Including ECO Mode: Gives better control across fabric types and can reduce energy use in lighter jobs.
- Calc-Clean System: Helps reduce limescale build-up, which is useful for maintaining performance over time.
Q: Can this iron replace a garment steamer for hanging clothes
A: Yes. Philips DST6130/40 has vertical steam for hanging clothes or curtains, so it can handle light to moderate creases without setting up a board. It is not a full replacement for longer steaming sessions or heavily wrinkled items.
Q: Is the water tank large enough for regular weekly ironing
A: Philips DST6130/40 has a 300 mL tank, which suits regular household ironing such as shirts, uniforms and mixed loads without constant refills. If you use a lot of steam in one session, you may need to top it up partway through.
Q: How does the Calc-Clean feature help in hard water areas
A: Philips DST6130/40 has a built-in Calc-Clean function that helps reduce limescale build-up and keep steam output more consistent over time. It suits homes with hard water, but regular cleaning is still needed to maintain performance.
Q: Does the auto shut-off help if the iron is left on
A: Yes. Philips OptimalTEMP 6000 Series switches itself off after 2 minutes when left in a horizontal position. It is a useful safety backup if you walk away, but it does not make it safe to leave the iron unattended as normal practice.
Q: Are the four steam settings useful for mixed fabric loads
A: Yes. The 4 steam settings let you use less steam on lighter fabrics and more on thicker items, with an ECO mode for lower steam use. The temperature is still handled automatically, so this is steam control rather than full manual fabric tuning.
Q: Is the soleplate easy to glide across everyday fabrics
A: Yes. The SteamGlide Plus soleplate is designed to move smoothly across cotton, linen and synthetics, and its surface is non-stick, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Thick seams and trims may still need a slower pass or extra steam.
