GC7842/46R1

Large water tank for long ironing sessions

A 1.5 litre transparent tank gives you 1.5 hours of continuous use. See clearly how much water is left and refill easily under the tap through the Philips PerfectCare Compact's large filling door.

Automatic shut-off when iron is left unattended

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off your steam generator iron if it has not been used for a few minutes. This saves energy and gives you peace of mind.

Lightweight and compact for easy use and storage

The lightweight, compact size is perfect for storage and fits conveniently on your ironing board. Exclusive ProVelocity technology makes our steam generators smaller and more compact than ever.

Save energy with ECO mode

Save energy and get the same great results. ECO mode reduces your energy consumption for garments that require less steam.

Safe on all ironable garments, guaranteed not to burn

Thanks to OptimalTEMP technology, we guarantee that the GC7840/26 will never cause burns to any ironable fabric. You can even leave it resting face down on your clothes or ironing board. No burns, no shine. Guaranteed.

OptimalTEMP technology, no temperature settings required

Iron everything from silk to jeans without adjusting the temperature. Thanks to OptimalTEMP, no dial or settings are needed. So there's no more pre-sorting the laundry, or waiting for the iron to heat up and cool down. You're ready for any fabric, any time.

Carry lock for safe and easy transport

Lock your Philips PerfectCare Compact Steam Generator securely to the base station for easy carrying around the house and to reduce the risk of accidentally touching the hot soleplate.

Calc clean container included – no cartridges, no extra cost

Our built-in descaling system, Smart Calc Clean, reminds you when you need to descale. It also includes a container to make descaling easy. This means no cartridges are required and there are no additional costs.

Scratch-resistant SteamGlide soleplate provides good gliding

Our special SteamGlide soleplate smoothly glides over any fabric. It's also nonstick, scratch-resistant and easy to clean.

Powerful steam for ultimate crease removal

Strong, continuous steam tackles even the thickest fabrics with ease. Watch stubborn creases melt away with an extra steam boost just where you need it. This extra steam is perfect for vertical steaming to refresh clothes and curtains, too.
