Philips 3000 Serie DST3040/70 Strijkijzer Stoomstrijkijzer Keramische zool 2600 W

The Philips DST3040/70 3000 Series Steam Iron is a mains-powered household iron with 2600 W heating power, a 300 ml water tank and a ceramic/non-stick soleplate designed for efficient removal of wrinkles on a wide range of fabrics. Its compact dimensions and 1.9 m cord offer flexible handling and convenient storage.

Advantages

The iron delivers rapid heat-up and steady performance thanks to its 2600 W power rating. Continuous steam output of 40 g/min smooths everyday creases while a 200 g steam boost handles stubborn wrinkles. The lightweight ergonomic design (approx. 1.2 kg) reduces user fatigue during longer sessions, and the non-stick ceramic soleplate ensures even glide and heat distribution across fabrics. A 300 ml water tank and vertical steam function increase versatility for different garments and quick touch-ups.

Suitable for

• Everyday ironing of cotton shirts, trousers and bed linen
• Delicate fabrics such as silk and synthetics (use lower temperature settings)
• Heavy fabrics like denim and towels (use steam boost for deep creases)
• Vertical steaming of hanging garments and curtains
