Technical overview
The Philips® Series 2000 Steam Generator Iron PSG2000/80 is designed to deliver more powerful steam performance than a traditional steam iron. By separating the water tank and heating system from the iron itself, the appliance generates continuous high-pressure steam that penetrates fabric fibres more effectively.
The Philips® Series 2000 Steam Generator Iron PSG2000/80 combines a large water tank, continuous steam output and a smooth gliding soleplate to simplify everyday ironing tasks. This type of steam generator helps reduce ironing time while maintaining consistent results across a wide range of fabrics.

How it works and what it is for
The Philips® Series 2000 Steam Generator Iron PSG2000/80 uses an internal boiler to heat water and create pressurised steam. This steam travels through a hose to the iron and is released through the soleplate onto the fabric.
Continuous steam helps smooth everyday wrinkles, while the steam boost function delivers a stronger burst to tackle thicker fabrics. This system makes ironing large amounts of laundry easier and more efficient.
Typical uses include:
▸ ironing everyday clothing
▸ smoothing wrinkles from shirts and trousers
▸ ironing bedding and household textiles
▸ handling larger laundry loads more efficiently
