Philips GC7423 review
http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/laundry-and-cleaning/reviews/steam-irons/philips-gc7423/review/
Philips claims that its GC7423 steam generator is designed to speed up ironing from start to finish. We were curious to see how good this steam generator really is - particularly as there's only one level of steam available.

Tank capacity (ml)
Manufacturers claimed water capacity. If no capacity is claimed we list our measured capacity.
Cord length (m)
Cord length from plug to iron. For steam generators this is the length of the cord from the plug to the tank.
Weight of iron (kg)
For steam irons this is the weight of the iron with a full tank of water. For generators it's the weight of just the iron, not the water tank.
Auto shut-off
This is a safety feature that switches an iron off automatically if it's left unattended for a period of time.
Anti-calcium cartridge
Irons with a 'yes' have anti-calcium cartridges that will need to be replaced periodically.
Steaming time per fill (mins)
How long you can steam for continuously on the highest steam setting before needing to refill the tank. Time given in minutes.
