The Philips EasySpeed Steam Iron GC1756 removes fabric wrinkles via a 2000W heating element and 25g/min continuous steam output. A ceramic soleplate conducts heat directly to the garment surface for efficient pressing. This version improves on the GC1740 by increasing the steam boost to 100g and adding an electronic auto shut-off safety system.
